Probably Stolen gunsmith guide: dismantling, repairs and permits

How does the gunsmith business work?

Buy weapons, choose which are worth improving, dismantle ordinary unwanted guns for parts, and refurbish or modify the stock you keep. Read condition and stats, then add the weapon, parts and mod costs together.

Demo 049-Rev5-L locks the Gunsmith start, Retired Gunsmith referral and weapon-permit services. The retired gunsmith’s referral has a base cost of 650 credits and describes a starter modding kit, followed by a visit the next day and weekly mod and ammunition supply. Below are the operations for guns and tools you already own.

What should you check before buying an old gun?

Nestfire Compact

Check condition, contraband level, asking price and model. An ordinary gun such as the Nestfire Compact is a useful example for dismantling and refurbishment. Prepare a Screwdriver and Gun Parts, then decide whether to keep or dismantle the weapon.

Right-click or double-click the gun to open its interaction and modification interface. Inspect its slots before buying attachments.

How do dismantling and refurbishment work?

Screwdriver

Gun Parts

1. Use the Screwdriver on an ordinary gun you want to dismantle. The original gun disappears and you receive materials.
2. Use Gun Parts on an old gun you want to keep to attempt refurbishment.
3. A successful attempt improves condition by one tier. A failed attempt leaves condition unchanged. Both consume the parts used.
4. Check the new condition and value before spending more.

Condition improves through Poor, Fair, Good and Excellent. Refurbishment stops at Excellent; New is a separate condition. Repeated attempts increase the refurbishment chance, so allow for more than one attempt in your budget.

Liberator 3D Printed Pistol

The Liberator 3D Printed Pistol gives 3D Printing Filament when dismantled, not Gun Parts. Identify the weapon before buying it as a source of repair materials.

How do you choose compatible mods?

Open the modification interface and match both the weapon model and the slot. Stock, rail, barrel, magazine, underbarrel and special slots have different uses. A matching slot type still needs a compatible model.

Compare Firepower, Style, Reliability, Recoil Control, Ergonomics and Accuracy before and after fitting a mod. Choose attachments for the weapon and customer requirements, and record their extra cost.

What do weapon permits change?

Class 1, 2 and 3 permits allow legal trade in low-, medium- and high-contraband weapons respectively. Display an owned permit in the display case to increase visits from weapon buyers.

The respective permits are revoked if Security reputation falls below 0, 30 or 60. Watch reputation and check which permit the gun needs before selling. The crime and storage guide covers other contraband.

Complete one purchase, improvement and sale before expanding. The beginner guide covers inspection and working cash; the career Wiki connects starting equipment and business routes.
