📋 About This Mod
Description
Welcome to Firearms! This mod adds a variety of flintlock pistols as a ranged weapon alternative for crossbows. There are currently 10 guns available and 7 types of ammunition at 3 tiers (that's 21 total & 27 if you include silver bullets!). Firearms as a mod has been designed to offer a different combat style, allowing you to use your ranged weapon for damage. Whilst guns are powerful their usage is limited by ammunition.
The mod is New Game + ready and is by default compatible with Ghost Mode.
W3EE also appears to work just fine, but the damage balancing for this overhaul may not be as fine-tuned as it is for vanilla + Ghost Mode. I'll let you be the judge of that. Install the Ghost Mode balancing patch if you want to do more damage.
Crafting + Shops
Gun crafting:
Starting from level 10 the dueling pistol diagram will begin to appear in blacksmith shops. New diagrams for different weapons will become available every few levels thereafter. Whilst most of the larger guns only appear in the later levels, it is possible to find all diagrams early if your in the right place at the right time.
Material crafting:
Bullets and gunpowder are required to craft ammunition.
In order to craft bullets you must first find bullet molds in shops of crafters (smiths + armourers).
There are 2 bullet types crafted from 4 different materials (lead, silver, alloy & dimeritium), each being used for various munitions at progressive tiers.
Both bullets and high-grade bullets are crafted in 3s and can be found in the crafting components tab.
Gunpowder recipes can be located in alchemy shops after reaching the first level of a new tier. Once learned gunpowder can be created from the alchemical substances tab in the alchemy menu. For the sake of convenience, Zerrikanian powder has also been added to alchemical substances tab.
Ammunition crafting:
There are 3 tiers of ammunition; standard, high-grade and infused. Each doing considerably more damage than the last. Each tier becomes available every 12 levels, starting from level 10.
By default all ammunition recipes are available from the 'crossbow bolt' tab in the crafting menu and can be made by any crafter should you provide the materials.
Powder & shot, high-calibre munitions and enchanted bullets are crafted in quantities. The amount of ammunition you receive is based on how many bullets you need to craft it. For example 3 bullets + 1 Zerrikanian powder = 3 powder & shot.
