How to Fish for Weapon Upgrades
Fishing is one of the many activities in the game and while it can be useful for acquiring fish and selling them for Gold, it can also net some materials like Rusty Buckets and Rusted Clumps for upgrading weapons. First, make sure you have some bait. Then head to fishing spots in Northern Plains or the Desert. For better chances of acquiring the materials, use Carp or Sardines as bait.
