== Introduction ==
The '''Arms Lab''' is the [[Frontiersmen]] upgrade research structure created by the [[Marine Commander]]. [[Marine]]s or [[MAC]]s are required to assemble the unbuilt structure and [[Power Nodes]] nearby. 

When powered, it can be used to research weapon and armor upgrades for [[Marine]]s and [[Exosuit|Exosuits]]. If the Arms Lab gets destroyed while an upgrade is researching, the research gets aborted and the research costs are lost.

==Research==

'''Note:''' You can't [[Recycle|recycle]] the Arms Lab while researching an upgrade. Instead, you have to cancel the research first, then you can recycle the structure.

=== Weapon Upgrades ===

Each level increases damage of certain weapons by 10% and costs more [[Resource Model|Team Resources]] and time to research. Weapon Upgrades affect the following weapons: [[Assault Rifle]], [[Shotgun]], [[Machine Gun]], [[Pistol]], [[Switch-Axe]] and [[Exosuit|Exosuit Minigun and Railgun]].
