The Batman Arkham series always provided the player with a set of upgrades for Batman. You can use WayneTech points that you earn by completing different tasks in the game to upgrade combat, stealth, and maneuverability. These upgrades will help Batman takedown enemies quicker and enhance owned gadgets. There are numerous upgrades to consider in Batman Arkham Knight, and in this post, I’ll guide you to some of the best upgrades you can get.

5. Ballistic Armor

It wouldn’t be a Batman game if things weren’t supposed to get messy. You are going to run into a lot of enemies in the game… A LOT! So, you need to make sure you are properly armored up to take down the baddies. Upgrade the ballistic armor early on in the game when the thugs with guns are less in number because later on, they will increase in number, and then you’ll regret wasting WayneTech points on gadgets only.
 

What Makes The Ballistic Armor Upgrade Good?

• Stronger armor means you can endure more.
   
• It will come in handy in New Game + mode too.
   
• The number of thugs with guns increases as the game progresses, so getting the ballistic armor upgrade early on will be beneficial.

4. 60mm Cannon Reload Speed

When you first get acquainted with the Batmobile, you will be blown away by the amazing tank-like features of the car. No doubt WB games really took it to the next level with the Batmobile. Although the 60mm Cannon of the Batmobile is ruthless, the reload time is pretty slow. You won’t feel the need to upgrade the cannon early on in the game because there’s not much use of it in the beginning, just like the ballistic armor. But as you progress, you’ll see that many enemy tanks can only be blown by the 60mm cannon.

What makes the 60mm Cannon Reload Speed upgrade so good?

• Quickly reload the cannon for quicker 60mm shots.
   
• No more being surrounded by enemies as you’ll quickly blow them up.
   
• Quicker reloads will give you an upper hand in all Batmobile encounters.
