How it works

3D Printer, .22 Pistol 3D Printer Chip, Suppressor and other parts (1,057 at base value), plus weekly gunsmith visits. The entry to building and selling guns. Guns and ammo are contraband, so pair it with Weapon Permit I or Wild's Fixers.

Gun route

What it does

You receive weapon parts and a used printer, and a Retired Gunsmith visits every week.

Rating

CLow priority

A used printer and weapon parts open a specialist business, not an instant income stream. Inputs, usable equipment, legal coverage and customers must all work before additional production pays.

A narrow use, a high price or a nightly fee usually makes fixing your current business the better spend. Buy it only for a specific plan.

When stock is piling upFirst sell existing parts or finished weapons through suitable outlets rather than adding more equipment.

When production falls shortBuy to enter printing only if the missing inputs, power and customers are also secured; it does not complete an order automatically.

    Can add a production branch to weapon resale after crime control and a matching outlet work. The branch also adds printer and material management.

    Already supplied at the start and central to the order route. The next useful spending is the input or repair needed for an actual order, not another copy of the unlock.
