Through a bizarre ritual, Lorenzo can rent an improved version of an item. He must set $10,000 worth of cash on fire, and place the item to be upgraded in the fire as well. It will quickly burn, and will send rainbow-colored sparks up into the sky. After a short time, the new, upgraded version of the item will be delivered in the form of a metal capsule that falls out of the sky and lands near you.

This shotgun's wooden stock shows signs of wear underneath its immaculate varnish. It is of a peculiar construction, with a thick revolving cylinder which has 6 slots set up in paired groups, so that each position lines up neatly with the weapon's twin barrels. Ordinarily, it looks like a normal - if unique - weapon, but when firing against a target weak to a particular material or object, the cylinder exhumes a puff of needles and other forest refuse as the projectiles inside are transformed into the appropriate material for its destruction. Additionally, when used by an unsteady hand, the gun shivers and moves ahead of its wielder, guiding their aim to the proper position for them.
