</>Common questions about Upgrade Unlocker
What does Upgrade Unlocker do in DREDGE?
Upgrade Unlocker is a DREDGE mod from ProjectMods that gives you instant access to every boat upgrade in the game. Tap Refresh Upgrades to load the full catalogue, pick any individual upgrade from the dropdown, and hit Give Upgrade to install it on the spot. If you want everything at once, Give All Upgrades fits your entire boat with every available improvement in a single tap, applied in the correct order so your hull ends up at its maximum size. No coins required, no dealer visits, and no grinding fish to save up. Your dream boat, ready immediately.
Can I pick specific upgrades or do I have to take them all?
You have both options. If you want surgical control, use Refresh Upgrades to load the list, select the specific upgrade you need from the dropdown, and tap Give Upgrade. Only that one upgrade gets installed. This is useful when you want a particular engine tier or a specific rod but are happy to earn the rest normally. If you want everything, tap Give All Upgrades and every upgrade in the game gets applied to your boat in one action. The mod handles the installation order automatically so upgrades that depend on each other, like hull sizes, get applied in the right sequence.
Does Give All Upgrades install upgrades in the correct order?
Yes. Upgrade Unlocker applies upgrades in a sequence that respects the game's dependencies. Hull upgrades go on in the right order from smallest to largest, ensuring your boat ends up at maximum size rather than getting stuck at an intermediate tier. Equipment upgrades are similarly ordered so nothing gets skipped or applied out of sequence. This is important because in DREDGE, some upgrades build on previous ones, and applying them out of order could cause issues. The mod handles all of this automatically so you get a fully kitted-out boat with a single tap.
Do I need to visit a harbour or dealer to use Upgrade Unlocker?
No. Upgrade Unlocker works from anywhere in the game. You do not need to be docked at a harbour, speaking to a dealer, or in any particular location. Trigger it through the ProjectMods launcher while you are out on the open water, parked at a fishing spot, or sailing between islands. The upgrade installs immediately wherever you are. This is a major time saver compared to normal gameplay, where you need to sail to specific harbours that stock specific upgrades, have enough money saved up, and then make the purchase in person.
When is Upgrade Unlocker most valuable in DREDGE?
Upgrade Unlocker helps most at the start of a playthrough when your tiny starter boat limits where you can go and what you can catch. Jumping straight to a large hull with good engines and rods opens up the entire map from the beginning. It is also great for second playthroughs where you have already earned everything once and want to skip the upgrade curve. Build testers love it for trying different loadout combinations without the cost of buying and selling. And players who just want to focus on the story and exploration rather than the economic grind use it to remove the boat-upgrading bottleneck entirely.
