 Coarse Ammo | ×20 | Ingot ×1, Gunpowder ×1 |
Schematics That Unlock Makeshift Handgun
Makeshift Handgun is not learned from the Technology tree — you need a schematic for it. One schematic grants the recipe, and they are world loot — chests, boss Pals and the late-game pools — rather than anything you research. Higher-rarity copies of the same schematic raise the quality of what you end up crafting.
| Schematic | Rarity | Where it comes from |
