Fusing is an important part of progressing through the game, as it allows you to make your items more powerful.
By fusing an item, you increase its rarity. There are seven types of weapon rarity, and it is up to you to discover them all. All rarities have a level cap on how high you can upgrade them before you need to fuse them to a higher rarity to continue upgrading them.
Fusing can be done from the loadout menu, which displays your inventory on the right-hand side of the screen. At the top of the screen you will see the 'FUSE' button which you can tap to bring up the fusing menu.
Once in the Fuse menu, you will be asked to select three items of the same type and rarity. A red notification icon will appear on the fuse button when you have something to fuse. As you can see in the picture above, we've selected three items of the same type and rarity, which we can then fuse into a higher rarity of that item.
Once fused, you can continue to upgrade it to a higher level and see that its attributes have also increased!
