[2020] Main quest bugged

Hello everyone, I just downloaded the game and have been doing some questing trying to level up. Last night I got to the quest “a growing threat” where it asks me to upgrade some armor and gear. When I open up the menu it just says “there is nothing to display” instead of giving me the option to upgrade and continue with my quest. Am I missing something here or is it bugged? I can’t continue the main quest line because of this. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Edit- bought a green piece for cheap off the ah and it worked. Thanks everyone for the help, can’t wait to get further into the game.
