To access tool upgrades, you must first complete the Jailbreak mission to unlock Abu Jafar's shop at the Assassin Bureau. Once you have access to him, head to the Assassin Bureau. He will provide you with the ability to upgrade your tools.

Each tool can be upgraded in three tiers. To progress to higher tiers, you'll need Steel Ingots, Leather, and Components. These resources can be obtained by looting chests, completing missions, or exploring the game world.

When upgrading a tool to a new tier, you can choose a passive perk to enhance its capabilities. You can swap out these perks when upgrading, so you have flexibility in choosing the one that suits your playstyle.
