One of the most important items you will need as you progress through the game is your weapons. In this guide, we explained how to get guns at the beginning of the game and where to find them.
Where to Find Guns in Nightingale
In the world of Nightingale, the allure of firearms is undeniable. From sleek pistols to rugged shotguns, the array of weaponry available adds depth to the gameplay. However, obtaining these firearms in the early stages can prove challenging, with the humble slingshot serving as your only ranged option for much of the initial gameplay. To aid you in your quest to unlock firearms in Nightingale, we’re here to provide you with essential guidance.
Gun Locations
Securing firearms in Nightingale necessitates reaching the early mid-game stage. Initially, you must progress through the game, enhancing your gear and eventually gaining access to the Provisioner dungeon within your Abeyance realm. To obtain the Provisioner Realm Card, you must achieve the requisite gear score required to enter the dungeon in your Abeyance realm. Once acquired, venture inside, conquer the boss, and claim the card. This will grant you access to realms where firearm recipes await.
Armed with the realm card, you can uncover your first set of firearm recipes at the following locations:
- Lancaster Pistol: Forest Provisioner Essence Trader, requiring 15x T1 Essence
- Chassepot Rifle: Swamp Provisioner Essence Trader, requiring 15x T1 Essence
- Smoothbore Shotgun: Desert Provisioner Essence Trader, requiring 15x T1 Essence
Once you have selected your desired firearm recipe, you can commence crafting. However, it’s crucial to note that you’ll need to unlock the forge from other T1 realms first. This enables the conversion of Metal Ingots into specific components such as weapon triggers and barrels before crafting the firearm at a refined workbench.
Arm Yourself Quest
To acquire the Refined Workbench necessary for crafting firearms, completion of the “Arm Yourself” quest is imperative. Alternatively, you can purchase the Refined Workbench recipe for 15x T1 Essence from the Forest Provisioner Essence Trader. Within the Forest Provisioner Realm, you’ll encounter Bass Reeves as part of the game’s quest line. Upon engaging with him, you’ll be tasked with obtaining ammunition and a ranged weapon. Upon returning with these requisites (including the Slingshot), you’ll receive a subsequent quest involving target practice and achieving precise shots against enemies. Completing this quest grants you the Refined Workbench blueprint for your base, enabling the crafting of firearm recipes.
Further firearm recipes unlock as you place specific Augmentations within your base and progress into Tier 2 and Tier 3 content. Therefore, remain vigilant for future trader offerings and rewards from Point of Interest (POI) objectives to expand your arsenal with diverse weaponry.
Additionally, enchanted and magical ammunition can be acquired by completing Vaults, often found within special POIs in Tier 1 and Tier 2 realms, as well as through end-game content in the Watch. Crafting ammunition within your base using specific recipes is also an option, allowing customization of your firearms with specialized ammunition types.
With this knowledge, you are now equipped to embark on your journey to obtain firearms in Nightingale. May this guide streamline your progression toward acquiring the firearm that best suits your preferences and playstyle.
