# Upgrades

Upgrades are NFT assets that permanently enhance a camera’s characteristics when installed in a corresponding socket (as described in the Camera Types section). Each upgrade targets a specific characteristic, providing players with a way to customize their cameras for better performance in quests. &#x20;

**Upgrade Types**   &#x20;

**Camera Sensor:** Increases the Lens characteristic, boosting $PICTO token rewards from quests.    &#x20;

**Tripod:** Enhances the Streak Power characteristic, improving the quality of streak rewards (cases).   &#x20;

**Camera Case:** Improves the Cleanability characteristic, reducing the $PICTO token cost for cleaning. &#x20;

**Upgrade Rarity**\
Upgrades come in five rarity tiers, with higher rarities providing greater enhancements to the corresponding characteristic

**Acquiring Upgrades**  \
Upgrades can be obtained in several ways: purchased on NFT marketplaces, earned from cases (either as complete upgrades or fragments). &#x20;

**Installation and Extraction**  \
Upgrades can be installed into a camera’s sockets that match their type (e.g., a Camera Sensor requires a Lens socket).&#x20;

**Market Listing Restrictions**  \
Cameras with installed upgrades cannot be listed on NFT marketplaces. Players must extract all upgrades before listing a camera for sale.  &#x20;
