This Atomfall Weapons Guide will tell you the stats of every weapon we've found, where to find weapons and ammo, and how to upgrade guns.
How to Get Weapons in Atomfall
There are three ways to get weapons in Atomfall:
- Finding them as loot
- Taking them off of dead enemies
- Purchasing them from merchants
If you see an enemy using a particular gun, that's the gun they'll drop. 90% of the time, they'll also have a few rounds of ammo for that gun, too.
How to Upgrade Guns in Atomfall
You can upgrade guns only after you've acquired the "Gunsmith" Skill. Once that's done, you'll need to find the previous tier of a gun to unlock the next tier. For example, picking up an Enfield LMG (Rusty) will unlock the crafting recipe for the Enfield LMG (Stock).
Melee weapons cannot be upgraded. Unique weapons such as the Modified JM-3 cannot be upgraded, either.
There are three tiers of weapons: Rusty, Stock, and Pristine. Improving a weapon's tier always brings some kind of improvement to its functionality, whether it's better damage, better recoil, or something else. If you like a gun, the fastest way to get a higher tier is to collect four Rusty-quality copies and craft the upgrades.
Crafting a Stock upgrade takes 2 of the same gun at Rusty quality, 2 Gun Oil, and 2–9 Scrap. Crafting a Pristine upgrade takes 2 of the same gun at Stock quality, 3 Gun Oil, and 2–9 Scrap.
How to Get More Ammo in Atomfall
There are two ways to get more ammo in Atomfall: purchasing it from merchants or looting it from dead enemies. Certain merchants only carry certain types of ammo. Here's who you can visit to restock your precious bullets:
- Molly Jewitt: Pistol Ammo, Shotgun Ammo
- Iris Baxter: Shotgun Ammo
- Corporal "Bootsy" Hughes: Pistol Ammo, SMG Ammo
- Billy Gorse: Arrows
- Nora Thorndike: SMG Ammo
Unfortunately, no merchants carry Rifle Ammo — you can only get more Rifle Ammo by killing enemies or looting it in the world.
