Interested in getting your hands on a gun in Longvinter? That’s a clever choice, as being armed significantly boosts your chances of survival. Fortunately, there are a few methods to acquire one: you can buy it, loot it, or try your hand at crafting.
But simply owning a gun isn’t enough. You’ll also want to think about upgrades and ammunition to maximize your firearm’s potential. With the right strategy, you can be ready for any challenges that come your way. This guide will cover the essentials, allowing you to focus on what truly counts — staying ahead of the game. Let’s get started.
How to Secure a Gun
You can obtain a gun in three primary ways:
- Buy it
- Loot it
- Craft it
The easiest way to get a firearm is to purchase it from vending machines at various outposts. If you’re feeling lucky, check the crates in Loot Hangars regularly, though finding a gun this way is quite rare.
To craft a gun, you’ll need a Gun Kit, which can also be bought or found. Once you have the Gun Kit, use a workbench and gather the required parts: a Barrel, a Stock, and Metal Parts. These components can be found through looting or purchased from vending machines.
If you’re on the hunt for Metal Parts, you can trade them for Mysterious Parts at Pix’s Island.
How to Add Attachments
Attachments enhance your gun’s capabilities, but you’ll require an Advanced Workbench to add them. In the crafting menu, go to the ‘Attachments’ tab, place your gun and the attachment you want, then hit the output icon to finish. Keep in mind that most attachments can be found while looting, so stay alert during your explorations.
How to Obtain Ammo
Ammunition is essential for using your firearm. Like guns, it can be crafted, looted, or purchased. The most straightforward way to acquire ammo is by buying it, with Filemon’s Outpost offering the best deal at 2,000 mk for a batch of 100.
You only need to have ammo in your inventory; there’s no need to equip it separately.
How to Use a Gun
Once you have a gun and the necessary ammo, using it is simple. Just equip the gun from your inventory, right-click to aim, and then left-click to fire.
