Before opening, add a Firearm Neon Sign to the Display Case, where the Class I Weapon Permit already is.

• The Class I Weapon Permit is already in the Display Case at the start. Taking it out stops its regular daily roll for Lower Level Citizen gun buyers; the guaranteed visits on days 1 and 4 still happen.
• Before market adjustments, the first permit starts at 50%. Each day this Display Case roll does not produce a buyer raises it to 75%, then 100%; a buyer from this roll resets it. Market swings adjust the result.
• The Firearm Neon Sign calls a gun seller with a 40% chance, rolled after the permit buyers. If the day's customer cap is already used up, the seller does not come.

When a gun buyer arrives, read the order's base and bonus requirements. A stat equal to the number is not enough; it has to be higher.

• Each achieved bonus adds to the reward, but missing a base requirement prevents handover. For a service order, repair or modify the gun the customer brings, even if you own guns. Base fees before adjustments are 30–40 at the first tier, 60–70 at the second and 100–110 at the third; bonuses and qualifying parts are extra.
• When the order names a caliber, only a gun of that exact caliber is accepted.

For a regular delivery order, pick the base gun. You start with two units of Nestfire Compact, one Good and one Poor, and two units of Liberator 3D Printed Pistol, one New and one Poor.

• Condition changes every stat: New +30%, Excellent +15%, Fair -15%, Poor -30%.
• The Good Nestfire Compact beats the base requirements of most Lower Level Citizen orders as it is.
• You also start with one unit of Gun Parts. Using it on a Poor Nestfire Compact or Liberator 3D Printed Pistol always raises the condition by one step.

Add mods for the stats that fall short: Red Dot Sight for accuracy, Improved Internal Springs for reliability, .22 Magazine or High Capacity .22 Magazine for firepower, and Suppressor or Laser Sight for style.

• The Makeshift Red Dot Sight and the Toy Laser Pointer lower reliability and style, and the Makeshift Suppressor lowers style, reliability and ergonomics. Check the order's numbers before fitting them.
• A gun has 3 special slots. The same special part cannot be fitted twice, and High Durability Internal Springs cannot be combined with Improved Internal Springs.
• More mods are sold on Wednesdays by the Security Requisition Officer (Red Dot Sight, Laser Sight, Compensator and Suppressor, each often in stock, while Security reputation is 20 or more) and on Thursdays by the Retired Gunsmith (Improved Internal Springs often; High Capacity .22 Magazine, Pistol Auto Sear and most other mods sometimes).

Put the finished gun on the Negotiation Counter to hand it over.

• The reward is fixed and cannot be haggled. On days when weapon and firearm prices are up, the reward is higher too.

After the handover, the buyer may also buy ammunition or a melee weapon. Keep some .22 SR Ammunition or .22 SR Ammunition (Non-Lethal) and a melee weapon in stock for this.

• The more bonus requirements you met, the likelier the extra purchase. Ammunition is bought only in the caliber of the gun you delivered.
• The ammunition budget comes from the value of the delivered gun, mods included.
• .22 SR Ammunition (Non-Lethal) is bought as .22 SR ammunition too. You start with 5× .22 SR Ammunition and 6× .22 SR Ammunition (Non-Lethal).

If you cannot meet an order, start to send the buyer away: they turn into a melee weapon buyer instead. Sell them one if you have it.

Always keep at least one gun of the buyer's tier in hand.

• Without a gun of that tier, an extra roll before the normal order selection often makes it a service order. A service order can still be picked by the normal selection, even while you own a gun.
• A service order pays the current value of the parts you fit and the repair parts that actually improved the gun. Failed repair parts are used up and not paid.

Put 2× 3D Printing Filament in the input of your 3D Printer and print a Liberator 3D Printed Pistol with the .22 Pistol 3D Printer Chip. At base speed it takes 3 nights.

• The chip is reusable. The materials are used up when the print starts.
• Printing does not advance without power. The starting printer has an Energy Cell inside.
• A Liberator 3D Printed Pistol comes out New.

When the Retired Gunsmith comes on Thursday, buy all 4× 3D Printing Filament.

• Every visit, the Retired Gunsmith also sells a 3D Printer and chips such as .22 Pistol 3D Printer Chip, 3D Printer Chip (x4 Improved Internal Springs), 3D Printer Chip (x3 Box Cutter) and 3D Printer Chip (x4 Kitchen Knife).
• From day 20, the 3D Printer Chip (x2 .22 Pistol) is sometimes in stock. It makes 2× Liberator 3D Printed Pistol from 3× 3D Printing Filament, so always buy it when you see it.
• The 3D Printer Chip (x2 RDS), the 3D Printer Chip (x2 Laser Sight) and the 3D Printer Chip (x2 Silencer) are each in stock only occasionally before day 20, but sometimes from day 20.

Buy a second 3D Printer and a .22 Pistol 3D Printer Chip from the Retired Gunsmith. Obtain a separate Energy Cell from the Supplier (Supply Runner) on Sunday, then fit the chip and power source and print on both machines.

• You can buy 8× 3D Printing Filament a week from the Retired Gunsmith and the Supplier (Supply Runner), more than one printer at base speed can keep turning into pistols with the .22 Pistol 3D Printer Chip.
• A bought 3D Printer comes without a chip or an Energy Cell.

On Sunday, buy 4× 3D Printing Filament and an Energy Cell from the Supplier (Supply Runner). When a Junker visits, buy their 3D Printing Filament, Scrap Metal and Electronic Parts (Common).

• The Supplier (Supply Runner) first comes on day 7, then every Sunday.
• The Junker has no fixed day.

Between Liberator 3D Printed Pistol pistols, print mods. The 3D Printer Chip (x4 Improved Internal Springs) turns 2× Scrap Metal into 4× Improved Internal Springs in 1 night at base speed.

• The 3D Printer Chip (x2 .22 Magazine) makes 2× .22 Magazine from 1× 3D Printing Filament. The Retired Gunsmith sometimes has it in stock.
• The 3D Printer Chip (x2 RDS) makes 2× Red Dot Sight from 3× Scrap Metal and 1× Electronic Parts (Common), the 3D Printer Chip (x2 Laser Sight) makes 2× Laser Sight from 2× Scrap Metal and 1× Electronic Parts (Common), and the 3D Printer Chip (x2 Silencer) makes 2× Suppressor from 5× Scrap Metal.
• The Red Dot Sight and the Laser Sight lower no stat. The mods from the 3D Printer Chip (x4 Makeshift RDS) and the 3D Printer Chip (x4 Toy Laser Pointer) lower reliability and style, so use them only when the order allows it.

Print melee weapons too. The 3D Printer Chip (x3 Box Cutter) makes 3 from 2× Scrap Metal and 1× 3D Printing Filament, and the 3D Printer Chip (x4 Kitchen Knife) makes 4 from 3× Scrap Metal and 1× 3D Printing Filament.

• Printed melee weapons come out Poor or Fair unless the printer's modules add a lot of quality.
• One Melee Batch Module adds 1 melee weapon per print, with either the 3D Printer Chip (x3 Box Cutter) or the 3D Printer Chip (x4 Kitchen Knife), but slows printing and uses more power. If you stack them, check that the displayed speed stays above 0. The Retired Gunsmith sometimes stocks it, more often while the Class II Weapon Permit and the Class III Weapon Permit are valid.

Use the units of Liberator 3D Printed Pistol as order bases, and sell the spares to Odin Haraldsson after receiving his card and calling him back. His first visit on day 2 is a conversation, not a purchase.

• Hear him out instead of reporting him and he gives you the Business Card (Green). Request a visit by phone and he comes 2 days later to buy weapons, melee weapons, ammunition and more. You cannot arrange a visit during a crackdown or while blacklisted by his faction.
• After a call, the cooldown lasts 5 days. Selling him items raises his base budget, up to 1500, though very cheap sales do not.
• Reporting him pays a bounty and Security reputation, but he never answers your calls again. Do not report him if you want a buyer for spare guns.

Display guns or ammunition so their category is among the highest-value categories. With store attractiveness of at least 100, a Display Case buyer is generated outside the normal customer cap. Sell the Liberator 3D Printed Pistol to the Scavenger or the Self-Defense Enthusiast; the Private Security Contractor refuses it.

• The buyer comes for the kind of goods with the highest total value in the Display Case, and guns and ammunition count as separate kinds. Showcase Expansion I adds a kind when the store is not vandalized; services can add another. Until you can attract multiple kinds, do not let another kind outvalue your guns.
• Once the category total is high enough, the Self-Defense Enthusiast replaces the Scavenger; store attractiveness of at least 400 brings that buyer even with a lower total. From day 14, an even higher total gives the Private Security Contractor priority. Sell that customer ammunition or non-makeshift weapons, not the Liberator 3D Printed Pistol.
• The Class I Weapon Permit only makes low-level contraband guns and ammunition legal, and any contraband in the Display Case brings an inspection that day. Do not display higher-level guns before you hold their permit.

Raise Security reputation to 50 or more: pass a routine inspection by a real inspector without concealing goods or relying on items being overlooked, report wanted customers correctly, and trade with the Security Requisition Officer.

• With Model Citizen, you start at 50 or more on Price Gouge and Mark Up, and a little short on Thin Margins and Red Ink.
• Contraband or stolen goods found in an inspection cost a lot of reputation, and a wrong report costs some too.

Buy Weapon Permit II. The Class II Weapon Permit is issued the next time you open the shutter if Security reputation is still at least 50. Display it along with the Class I Weapon Permit before the following opening; the customer roll for the day it is issued has already happened.

• The Class II Weapon Permit buyer has a base chance of 40%, rising after days without a buyer from its Display Case roll and adjusted by the market. It is rolled separately from the Class I Weapon Permit, in that order, while daily slots remain.
• Once issued, mid-level contraband guns and ammunition such as Ironcraft 10, Sentinel Mk. III., Lancewell Revolver and .22 SR Ammunition (AP) become legal. Before that, they are contraband in your hands.

For a regular delivery order that names no caliber, use a modded .22 SR gun only after checking every base requirement. The Extended .22 Magazine raises firepower a lot. For a service order, work on the gun the buyer brings.

• For regular deliveries, acceptance checks the base requirement numbers and caliber, not the gun model. Service orders must use the gun brought by the customer.
• Orders that name 10mm need a 10mm gun.
• The Pistol Auto Sear raises firepower a lot but lowers reliability and recoil control.
• The Extended .22 Magazine is sometimes sold by the Lower Level Citizen gun seller, or comes from the 3D Printer Chip (x2 Ext. .22 Mag.), which prints 2 from 3× 3D Printing Filament; the Retired Gunsmith sometimes stocks that chip.

On Wednesday, buy a Sentinel Mk. III. and 10mm Ammunition from the Security Requisition Officer who comes to sell surplus.

• They come while Security reputation is 20 or more, and sell a Sentinel Mk. III. only while the Class II Weapon Permit is valid, in Poor or Fair condition. Their base reputation multiplier is 2; bargaining can change it.
• A Mercenary called by the Firearm Neon Sign may also sell an Ironcraft 10.

Keep at least one gun of the Mercenary tier in hand: Ironcraft 10, Sentinel Mk. III. or Lancewell Revolver.

• Without one, service orders are often picked first, ahead of the normal selection, which can also pick them. Their base reward is lower, though parts and bonuses add to it.

For the purchases after the handover, keep 10mm Ammunition and melee weapons in stock.

• From this tier up, buyers may also ask for the Smoke Grenade or the Flashbang Grenade. Munitions stay contraband even with a weapon permit, so avoid buying them for this extra sale. Ammunition must match the caliber of the gun delivered.

Keep Security reputation at 30 or more. Below 30, an officer is sent to revoke the Class II Weapon Permit; if it is still below 30 at the end of that conversation, the permit is removed and mid-level guns become contraband again.

To make your own frames and Gun Parts, buy a Furnace from Dr. Jackson. Power it and put in 2 pieces of either Scrap Metal or Metal Ore to make 1× Metal Ingot per night. With the Furnace Module (Blast), use 3 material items for 2 ingots.

• With the Furnace Module (Junk Processing), 6× Junk become 4× Scrap Metal in a night when the furnace did not smelt ingots. Reserve the recovered material for printing before selling the surplus.

Fit a Metal Printer Module and a Computer Numerical Control Module to the 3D Printer. With the Nestfire Compact Frame 3D Printer Chip, print the Nestfire Compact Frame from 1× Metal Ingot; with the Ironcraft 10 Frame 3D Printer Chip, print the Ironcraft 10 Frame from 1× Metal Ingot and 1× Scrap Metal. Use 1× Gun Parts on a frame to finish the Nestfire Compact or the Ironcraft 10, respectively.

• With those modules at their base effects and no other speed bonuses, either frame takes 4 nights. On the same setup, the Gun Part 3D Printer Chip makes 2–5× Gun Parts from 1× Metal Ingot in 2 nights; ingot purity decides the count. The Retired Gunsmith sells the chips and modules. Check the finished gun against the order before handing it over.

Raise Security reputation to 80 or more.

• The Security Requisition Officer has a base reputation multiplier of 2. Bargaining can change it, so buy needed stock at the offered price when raising reputation.

Buy Weapon Permit III. At a shutter opening with Security reputation of at least 80, receive a Class III Weapon Permit, then display it before the following opening to enter the customer roll.

• The Class III Weapon Permit buyer has a base chance of 35%, rising after days without a buyer from its Display Case roll and adjusted by the market. It is rolled after the lower permits, while a daily slot remains.
• Once issued, the high-level contraband guns Peacemaker Heavy SMG and Rampart Dual-Action Shotgun become legal.
• Unlocking Weapon Permit III also gives you the Heavy Firearm Neon Sign. Displayed, it calls an Upper Level Citizen gun seller with a 25% chance a day, who usually brings a Sentinel Mk. III. and otherwise a Peacemaker Heavy SMG, either in Poor or Fair condition. It is rolled after the permit buyers, so it comes only if a daily slot is left.

On Wednesday, buy a Peacemaker Heavy SMG and a Rampart Dual-Action Shotgun from the Security Requisition Officer.

• They bring these only while the Class III Weapon Permit is valid, and always in Poor or Fair condition, so plan on repairs or mods.

Build on the Peacemaker Heavy SMG or the Rampart Dual-Action Shotgun and fit mods until the gun beats the order.

• A gun in bad condition loses a lot of its six performance stats. Repairing with Gun Parts raises its condition one step on success, but never to New.
• Repairs of these guns can fail and still use up the Gun Parts: a Peacemaker Heavy SMG repair succeeds 40% of the time at first, rising by 40 points with each failure, and a Rampart Dual-Action Shotgun by 35 points.

Keep at least one gun of this tier in hand.

• Without one, service orders are often picked first, ahead of the normal selection, which can also pick them.

For extra sales to these order customers, stock the Combat Knife or the Combat Machete. Fit a Metal Printer Module in your printer and use the 3D Printer Chip (x5 Combat Knife) with 2× Metal Ingot for 5 knives, or the 3D Printer Chip (x3 Combat Machete) with 3× Metal Ingot for 3 machetes. Both take 5 nights with the required module at its base effect and no other speed bonuses.

• These buyers turn down melee weapons that are also tools or household goods, such as Box Cutter and Kitchen Knife, and so does a buyer you turn away. Keep the Combat Knife, the Combat Machete or the Tazer for them.
• With the Metal Printer Module in the printer, the 3D Printer Chip (x5 Combat Knife) prints the Combat Knife and the 3D Printer Chip (x3 Combat Machete) prints the Combat Machete from the Metal Ingot. The Retired Gunsmith stocks both chips more often while the Class II Weapon Permit and the Class III Weapon Permit are valid.
• For earlier buyers, the Box Cutter takes 2 nights for 3, the Kitchen Knife 3 nights for 4, and the Hatchet or the Meat Cleaver 4 nights for 4 at base speed without a batch module. Their chips are the 3D Printer Chip (x3 Box Cutter), the 3D Printer Chip (x4 Kitchen Knife), the 3D Printer Chip (x4 Hatchet) and the 3D Printer Chip (x4 Meat Cleaver). Pick the product for the buyer: these top-tier customers refuse tools and Household Goods.

Keep Security reputation at 60 or more. Below 60, an officer is sent to revoke the Class III Weapon Permit; it is removed if reputation is still below 60 at the end of that conversation.
