Most Efficient/Cheapest Way to Level Iconic Weapons - (Behavior changed; see description)

An advanced guide on how to make your weapons progressively better throughout the game while you're leveling, but for cheap. Upgrading weapons without a method is a great way to use all your components and get very little payoff in return. This video provides a bunch of tips for minimizing your costs, and even some optional tables you can reference when leveling throughout the game.

UPDATE: This is still the most cost efficient way to level a weapon, however after an indeterminate update weapons upgraded in the old way will now have lower stats. For maximum stats you have to fully upgrade at each tier (and presumably be at max level to do so). I haven't played the game in some time so I haven't tested. Have fun!

You can find the google sheet with the tables here:
