Tormented Souls 2 All Weapon Upgrades: Every Location and the Gunsmith Trophy

Missing a single pickup can cost you the Gunsmith trophy, so a clear map of Tormented Souls 2 all weapon upgrades is the difference between one clean run and a second playthrough. There are only five parts to find, but they are spread across four separate areas of Tormented Souls 2 on Steam, and two of them sit behind tools you may not have the first time you walk past. This guide breaks down Tormented Souls 2 all weapon upgrades in the order PowerPyx documents them, with the exact room, the obstacle in your way, and the weapon each part actually improves. You will also see how to apply the parts from your inventory and which community-reported bugs are worth knowing before you commit to a completionist sweep of Tormented Souls 2 all weapon upgrades.

How Many Weapon Upgrades Are in Tormented Souls 2?

Five. The PowerPyx weapon upgrade location guide lists exactly five upgrade pickups, and collecting all of them unlocks the Gunsmith trophy and achievement.

That number surprises people because the armory is much larger. PowerPyx's weapon-locations guide states that there are nine base-game weapons, while the DualShockers trophy guide also lists the Electric Lance among the weapons tied to the Hoplophile trophy. The free February 12, 2026 New Game Plus update separately added the Electric Lance and Flamethrower, so treat post-launch weapons as outside the nine-weapon base-game set. In other words, a full weapon collection is a bigger job than the upgrade hunt.

Only a slice of that arsenal accepts an upgrade part. Going by the source list, the recipients are:

• Nailer — Compressed Air Canister (Small)
• Shotgun — two separate Metal Pipe upgrades
• Automatic Nailer — Coil Nail Drum
• Hand Cannon — Recoil Spring

Tormented Souls 2 All Weapon Upgrades: Locations at a Glance

The table below lists Tormented Souls 2 all weapon upgrades with the area and the specific room, following PowerPyx's numbering. Treat the order as documentation, not a recommended route — you will naturally pass some of these long before others.

All locations above are sourced from PowerPyx's Tormented Souls 2 weapon upgrade guide.

Where to Find Every Upgrade, Step by Step

1. Metal Pipe 1 (Convent, Torture Museum)

This one is a two-visit job. Head to the Torture Museum on the Other Side and interact with the stretcher standing in the middle of the room to split the scarecrow. Then return to the Torture Museum in the real world and pick the Shotgun pipe up from the split corpse.

Helpful context: DualShockers notes that the Teleport Mirror puzzle which unlocks your passage to the Other Side sits in the southmost room of the Torture Museum. So the tool you need and the pickup you want live in the same area — do the mirror puzzle first.

2. Compressed Air Canister (Small) (Convent Library)

The second entry is the Compressed Air Canister (Small), a Nailer upgrade, found in the Convent on a table in the upper section of the Library, which you reach through the Lady Chapel. PowerPyx labels it explicitly as a Nailer upgrade, so attach it to the Nailer from the inventory menu.

3. Metal Pipe 2 (Processing Plant, 2F Dining Room)

The second Shotgun pipe is in the Processing Plant, sitting on a small table in the 2F Dining Room. That room is accessed through the Warehouse, so if the dining room door is still shut, you have not finished opening up the warehouse route yet.

4. Coil Nail Drum (Cemetery, Burial Chamber)

This is the one that stalls most runs. The Coil Nail Drum is inside the coffin in the Burial Chamber, and the coffin is behind a brick wall you must destroy with the Sledgehammer. No Sledgehammer, no Automatic Nailer upgrade — leave a mental note and come back once you have it.

The Nailer itself is the first weapon you can assemble: DualShockers reports you find the Nailer Frame and Air Canister in the Workshop room and combine them in your inventory, then feed it boxes of Nails for ammo.

5. Recoil Spring (School, Computer Lab)

The final Hand Cannon part hides in a locker in the Computer Lab, unlocked with the Combination Key. Combination key puzzles appear at the School and Church, and solving all three is tracked by the Master Key trophy, so this pickup lines up neatly with puzzle cleanup.

How to Apply Weapon Upgrades in Tormented Souls 2

Picking a part up is only half the job. DualShockers describes upgrades as something you apply yourself through the inventory menu — the example given is pipes that increase the number of barrels on your Shotgun. If you have been carrying a Metal Pipe around and wondering why the gun still looks the same, open the inventory and attach it.

A few practical habits for this section of the run:

• Apply parts as soon as you grab them, while you remember which weapon they belong to.
• Apply pickup #2 to the Nailer; PowerPyx identifies it as the Compressed Air Canister (Small).
• Assemble the Nailer in the same menu before hunting the Coil Nail Drum, so the upgrade has a home.

Gunsmith Trophy Tips and Known Issues

The trophy itself is straightforward — collect all five and Gunsmith pops. The complications come from the game's condition at and shortly after launch, which the community documented in detail.

In a community video covering the launch version (1.0) of Tormented Souls 2, a creator who had completed every difficulty reported that only costumes were unlockable at that point and that no bonus weapons existed yet, with bonus content expected in later updates. Treat that as a snapshot of version 1.0 rather than a permanent feature list.

The same video flagged two issues worth knowing before a completionist sweep:

• Collectibles not registering. Weapons, files, and normal-difficulty completion were reportedly failing to count toward trophy progress. The creator said the developers were actively working on fixes.
• The "infinite Electric Lance." According to the creator's conversation with someone involved in the project, the infinite Electric Lance is not supposed to be in the game yet — finding one is a glitch, not a secret unlock.

Because of the first issue, verify your trophy progress after each pickup rather than assuming the counter moved. That is player experience, not an official statement, so check the current patch notes if you are hunting the Platinum.

FAQ

How many weapon upgrades are in Tormented Souls 2? Five. PowerPyx's location guide lists five upgrade pickups, and gathering all of them unlocks the Gunsmith trophy and achievement.

Do I need all five for the Gunsmith trophy? Yes — the trophy is tied to the full set, not to any individual upgrade. Applying them is a separate step handled in the inventory menu.

Which weapons do the upgrades actually go to? According to PowerPyx: the Nailer (Compressed Air Canister (Small)), the Shotgun (two Metal Pipes), the Automatic Nailer (Coil Nail Drum), and the Hand Cannon (Recoil Spring). The rest of the nine-weapon base-game roster does not take these specific parts.

Can I collect Tormented Souls 2 all weapon upgrades in one playthrough? You can, but it takes backtracking. Two of the five require tools you might not have on your first pass — the Sledgehammer for the Cemetery coffin and the Combination Key for the School locker — so plan a return trip once both are in hand.
