I remember it in PSU. You could grind weapons up a maximum number of times, but there was a chance for the grinding to fall, and you'd permanently lose access to an upgrade node. And every time you successfully upgraded, it would only get harder to perform subsequent grinds, so you needed better and better supplemental materials, and even then it wasn't guaranteed to succeed.
