Robert Pattinson spoke to “Extra’s” Mona Kosar Abdi at the NYC premiere of “Die My Love.”

The movie follows a young mother (Jennifer Lawrence) in rural America who develops postpartum depression and enters into psychosis, and how it takes a toll on her and her partner (Pattinson).

Robert shared how he and Jennifer connected right away, saying, “We’ve kind of had very similar life experiences even though we didn’t know each other at all before this.”

He went on, “We know so many people in each other’s periphery that it… felt inevitable that eventually we’d do something together. And I’ve always thought she’s just really funny and stuff in interviews, and being just, like, preternaturally talented and, I don’t know, we got on really well in the first phone call. We were like, ‘Oh.’ We’re like, ‘We like each other.’”

Robert also talked about how being a dad himself affected his approach to the role, “I’m playing a character who is not capable of dealing with anything, but… I’ve done quite a few movies with babies and I quite enjoyed acting with babies before, but on this one, I mean, the babies were exactly the same age as my daughter and so I was dealing with the same stuff, but my acting child was as well.”

He added, “And I was talking to the parents about it. I’m, like, hanging out with the parents talking about baby stuff all the time and interested in it. And I hadn’t been ever interested before, which, it’s funny. It’s kind of like normally, I’m just, like, straight off to the trailer and on this one I’m like, ‘She crawled yet?’”

Unlocking the Gunsmith in Arc Raiders

When you begin Arc Raiders, you won’t have any access to the weapons workbench, which is called the “Gunsmith” in-game. Fortunately, it won’t take you too long to unlock it, as it’s one of the core elements of your account.

All you have to do to unlock the Gunsmith is acquire these resources:

x20 Rubber Parts

x20 Metal Parts

The Gunsmith I crafting recipe in Arc Raiders

You can easily obtain these resources by looting in your first couple of drops, but you also get them for completing some of the tutorial quests in Arc Raiders. If you don’t see any Rubber or Metal Parts in your inventory, make sure you’re recycling all the junk you have. Breaking down objects can easily yield the number of Rubber and Metal Parts you need. Specifically, look for ARC technology and scrap gear, like parachutes, to break down so you get the resources.

Once you have enough Rubber and Metal Parts, head into your Workshop at the main lobby. Here, you can click “Install” to craft the “Gunsmith I” station. The Workshop also allows you to craft several other stations, so make sure you keep those in mind when you’re scavenging for resources.

With the Gunsmith I station installed, you’re ready to start upgrading your weapons in Arc Raiders.

Upgrading weapons and the Gunsmith in Arc Raiders

To upgrade a weapon via the Gunsmith, click on its station inside your Workshop. You’ll see a few different tabs at the top of your screen, and one of them is labeled “Weapon Upgrades.” In the Weapon Upgrades tab, you’ll get a view of every weapon that can currently be upgraded.

It’s important to note that to upgrade weapons further, you’ll need to upgrade your Gunsmith. Starting out, it will be labeled as “Gunsmith I,” which means it’s at level one. You can level up your Gunsmith by going to the “Level Up” tab inside its menu. Here, you can see all of the required resources you need to advance the station to its next level. If you have the required resources, select “Level Up” and your Gunsmith will be upgraded.

Back to upgrading individual weapons, it works roughly the same as upgrading the Gunsmith. You can select a weapon from the Weapon Upgrades menu, see the required resources needed to upgrade it, and then choose to upgrade the weapon if you have everything you need.

If you’re opting to upgrade a higher rarity weapon, like a purple or yellow weapon, then you’ll need far rarer resources when upgrading it. Even if the weapons are at level one, they will require resources that match the rarity of the weapon’s color. This is a massive investment, especially considering how difficult it can be to obtain those weapons in the first place. As such, it’s highly recommended to only upgrade and equip higher rarity weapons on important drops or when you have a full team that’s ready to get your back. There’s nothing worse than losing an extremely rare weapon due to accidentally having it equipped, or when you drop in solo and end up dying.

Every time you successfully upgrade a weapon, it will move up a level. With every new level, a weapon will receive increased stats with no downsides. So there’s really no reason not to upgrade weapons unless you’re holding onto specific resources that you need for something else in Arc Raiders. However, given how much of a difference an upgraded weapon can make, it’s wise to prioritize stronger weapons over most other upgrades.
