How to Get a Gun in Abiotic Factor

     Guns in Abiotic Factor provide a vital advantage for handling tougher enemies and protecting your base. This guide outlines how to find your first firearm, conserve resources, and unlock more powerful weaponry as you explore further.

 

 

 

Acquiring Your First Gun

 

     To secure your first firearm, the Security Pistol, you’ll need to locate the Security Office in the Office Sector Level 2. However, this area is locked behind a keypad, requiring you to craft the Keypad Hacker.

 

 

 

Crafting the Keypad Hacker

 

     The Keypad Hacker allows access to the Security Office. To create one, gather the following:

 

     - 3 Security Bot CPUs

 

     - 10 Circuit Boards

 

     - 6 Tech Scrap

 

     - 3 Case Fans

 

     - 2 Keyboards

 

     - 2 Desk Phones

 

     - 1 Box of Screws

 

     - 2 Glass Scrap

 

     - 1 Test Tube

 

     - 1 Bio Scrap

 

     Steps to craft the Keypad Hacker:

 

     1. Combine materials to craft three Computation Bricks and a Glow Stick.

 

     2. Use these components to create a Controller, Infrared Emitter, and LCD Screen.

 

     3. Assemble these items into the Keypad Hacker.

 

 

 

Unlocking the Security Office

 

     With the Keypad Hacker crafted, head to the Reception area and follow the signs for the Security Office. You’ll find a locked door near a damaged Forklift. Use the Keypad Hacker to gain entry.

 

 

     Inside, go upstairs to another locked door. Unlock it with the Keypad Hacker to reach the firing range. The Security Pistol and a stash of 9mm Ammo can be found here.

 

 

 

Managing Ammunition

 

     Ammo in Abiotic Factor is a limited resource, so using it strategically is key. Rely on melee weapons or crafted ranged options like the Crossbow for regular encounters, reserving bullets for emergencies. Additional ammo can be scavenged in:

 

     - Portal Worlds such as Rise, Train, and Voussoir.

 

     - Manufacturing Sector raids or while defending your base.

 

 

Unlocking Advanced Firearms

 

     As you progress, you’ll encounter more powerful firearms, including:

 

     - Montese SMG: Found on Order Soldiers in later stages.

 

     - Romag Shotgun: Dropped by Order Breachers in Rise.

 

     - Wessex Rifle: Located in sniper strongholds or Portal Worlds.

 

     These advanced guns often require higher Accuracy Skill levels and specific crafting items like Biometric Armwraps.

 

 

Alternative Firearm Options

 

     If you’re low on ammo, consider crafting alternatives like the Pipe Pistol or Scrapshot. These weapons use Scrapshot Ammo, which is easier to replenish, ensuring you always have a ranged option available.

 

 

 

     Acquiring a firearm in Abiotic Factor is a significant milestone in your gameplay. By crafting the Keypad Hacker, using ammo wisely, and progressing to advanced weapons, you’ll enhance your ability to handle challenges and defend your base effectively.
