Each path has one tier 1 upgrade, two tier 2 upgrades, one tier 3 upgrade, and two tier 4 upgrades. Higher-tier upgrades have a lower probability of appearing, which the [[Luck]] stat can raise. | ||
Heroes can have up to 10 upgrades per run, while Monkeys can only have up to 5 (not counting upgrades that add Monkeys to the team). If the player runs out of upgrade slots for all their Monkeys, all future level-ups provide a choice of [[Team Upgrade]]s instead, which apply minor stat buffs to the Hero or entire team. Unlike regular upgrades, the player can obtain duplicate Team Upgrades without limit. | Heroes can have up to 10 upgrades per run, while Monkeys can only have up to 5 (not counting upgrades that add Monkeys to the team).

By increasing a Monkey or Hero's level, the player can unlock Level 2 versions of tier 1, tier 3, and tier 4 upgrades. Most Level 2 upgrades enhance the base upgrades' effects or enable new effects that apply when the player picks them during a run. The player can only have Level 2 versions of one tier 1 upgrade, one tier 3 upgrade, and two tier 4 upgrades at a time for each Monkey and Hero. | By increasing a Monkey or Hero's level, the player can unlock Level 2 versions of tier 1, tier 3, and tier 4 upgrades.

When the player's team levels up, the three upgrades that can appear are chosen from a pool of all upgrades that are accessible to the player and/or their Monkeys and Hero. Some levels may replace the upgrade options with upgrades that add Monkeys to the team if the player does not have three Monkeys in their team yet; depending on the level, this can either replace all upgrades (even after rerolling), have a 10% chance to replace each upgrade, or never replace upgrades. [[Team Upgrade]]s do not exist in the pool; they only appear as a fallback option if there are fewer than three upgrades left in the pool (which usually occurs starting at level 30). | When the player's team levels up, the three upgrades that can appear are chosen from a pool of all upgrades that are accessible to the player and/or their Monkeys and Hero. When the player chooses an upgrade, it removes itself from the pool for that Monkey (meaning it will never appear again for that Monkey during the run, but not for other Monkeys of the same kind).

Tier 1 upgrades enter the pool as soon as the player has that Monkey or Hero during a run, but higher-tier upgrades require the player to own the upgrade of the previous tier on the same path first (tier 3 upgrades only require one of the two previous upgrades). Additionally, every Hero has one secret upgrade that can appear if they own two specific upgrades on the first and second paths during the run. If the player fills all upgrade slots for a Monkey or Hero, the pool removes all of its remaining upgrades. Tier 3 and tier 4 upgrades do not enter the pool until the player unlocks them by raising the Monkey's rank. | Tier 1 upgrades enter the pool as soon as the player has that Monkey or Hero during a run, but higher-tier upgrades require the player to own the upgrade of the previous tier on the same path first (tier 3 upgrades only require one of the two previous upgrades).
