That said, do note that you can use only one Gunsmith Kit at a time. Furthermore, you must have the appropriate Kit. If you are looking to upgrade an SMG and you have an Assault Rifle Kit, the game won’t allow you to upgrade your SMG using it. Fortunately, you can upgrade your weapon multiple times throughout the match. As long as you have another Gunsmith Kit lying around, you’re good to go!
