Brotato gives you the ability to purchase different upgrades for yourself when you complete a wave. Based on the game’s rogue-like nature, you only get to choose one upgrade during this phase and if you are not happy with the options currently on offer, you can spend some coins to have it refreshed with new options as well. This Brotato Upgrades Guide lists all of the upgrades, their different tiers along with some of the best upgrades you can purchase in the game.
Upgrades Guide – Brotato
The upgrades in Brotato span over four tiers and after you purchase a basic upgrade, you can move on to its next tier at the end of the next wave. Again, the available options might be switched based on your run, but you can try to refresh the options to get what you really need in the game. The table below lists all of the upgrades that you will find in Brotato along with their four tiers of upgrades and their results.

These are all of the base stat upgrades that you can purchase in Brotato. Below, you will find some of the best upgrades that we like to focus on in our builds.
Best Upgrades
This section of the guide lists the best upgrades that really make a difference in gameplay.
- Life Steal – Life Steal allows you to steal back health from your enemies and the higher tier upgrade you have purchased; more health will come to you as part of this stat. If you take a lot of damage, consider upgrading Life Steal every time it appears to increase the amount of health you can steal back from your enemies.
- Attack Speed – Certain weapons are rather slow in firing such as the shotgun and wand. Considering the fact that these are your starting weapons, you can always upgrade your Attack Speed stat which will allow you to increase your firing speed with these slow weapons. This stat also affects your melee weapons, so this upgrade is great for all weapons.
- Luck – Luck affects the rarity of upgrades so the higher your Luck is, the rarer items, weapons, and upgrades you will get at the end of each wave. If you keep getting low rarity items, consider upgrading your luck and soon you will be finding some of the best items, weapons, and upgrades after every wave.
- Crit Chance – Another ability that is great for taking care of enemies quickly. Enemies in Brotato tend to increase in numbers massively as you progress in waves so having a higher Crit Chance stat will ensure that you are cutting through your enemies quickly with critical hits. Consider upgrading it first.
That is all for this guide. Make sure that you check out our Brotato Beginner’s Guide and Items Guide if you are just starting the game.
