Alternative Progression: Rank 9 Weapons (R9)
In addition to the main progression of the G17 weapons, the player can also choose to follow an alternative route using Rank 9 weapons, also known as R9.
This progression is an option for players who wish to invest in the R9 weapon, but it is important to understand that the route has its own limit: the strongest weapon in this line is the R9 UP 3.
The R9 weapons cannot be evolved into the G17 version. In other words, the R9 progression is an alternative and independent route, not being a mandatory step to reach the G17 UP 5.
The R9 UP 3 weapon compares to a G17 UP 4, but the strongest weapon in the game remains the G17 UP 5.
R9 UP 1 Weapon
To make your R9 UP 1 weapon, you will need the following materials:
R9 UP 2 Weapon
To make your R9 UP 2 weapon, you will need your R9 UP 1 weapon and the following materials:

The R9 route is recommended for players who want a strong progression alternative, reaching up to R9 UP 3. Even though it is comparable to a G17 UP 4, this weapon does not replace the final progression of the G17 UP 5, which remains the maximum weapon on the server.
