The most reliable rewards come from leveling the corporation.
- Level 5 gives 60 War Bonds

Unlocking the Equipment Upgrade Station
The Equipment Upgrade Station is where StarRupture really opens up. It’s your gateway to real firepower and weapon customization. To unlock it, you must reach level 4 with the Griffits Blue Corporation, which requires 6,400 corporation points. You’ll earn most of these points by submitting specific materials.
The fastest way is to produce Titanium Sheets or Wolfram Plates. Before you can craft them, you need to unlock their recipes at the Recipe Station.
- Titanium Sheet: Requires 600 Titanium Bars and 400 Data Points
- Wolfram Plate: Requires 600 Wolfram Bars and 400 Data Points
Once unlocked, craft the material at your Fabricator. Then load it into your Orbital Cargo Launcher, select Griffits Blue Corporation, and submit the order. After a short wait, the points are credited.
Tip: If you want to speed things up, you can also submit Data Points directly from the corporation screen in your habitat. This is perfect when you are close to the next level and do not want to grind another batch.
Weapon Add-ons in StarRupture
Once you unlock a weapon, it comes with a basic setup. That’s only the starting point. All advanced add-ons are unlocked at the Equipment Upgrade Station using War Bonds. After unlocking them, you craft the add-ons using Basic Building Materials.
Each weapon supports different add-on slots: Barrel, Magazine, Stock, and Sight. Not all weapons support all slots, so plan your loadout carefully.
