Seriously. Layer 1 of rng - will a chest spawn?
Layer 2 - Will it explode?
Layer 3 - Will it be weapon or armour?
Layer 4 - Will it work or just flat-out say "nope, no upgrade for you"?

That last layer is just cruelty tbh. If your item is below the floor you are on, it should upgrade 100%. Full stop. Grinding for hours and getting nothing back is not fun when the content itself is lifeless.
Layer 4 have nothing to do with RNG.
It depend of how many upgrades your weapon/gear already have and in which floor you are. Each floor have an upgrade cap. No upgrade if your weapon or gear is already over the cap of the current floor.
