How builds are priced
Gunsmith costs
You buy the base gun, then each attachment slot, then each attachment. Slot prices climb fast.
- The Gunsmith opens at DMZ level 10 at the FOB, run by Gunny. You can test guns at the Firing Range from your first visit.
- Extracting with a Weapon Manual uses it up, unlocks unlimited purchases of that base gun, and pays 5,000 DMZ Cash.
- The FOB board tracks 28 Weapon Manuals. They drop at random from military containers, safes, weapon lockers, duffel bags and enemy backpacks.
- Conflict: the Oct 9 official guide requires a gun's Manual, while the Oct 19 post says guns unlocked in MP or DMZ are buyable.
- A Manual unlocks the gun in DMZ only. It does nothing in Multiplayer.
- A gun you extract without its Manual is a single copy. You can mod it, but if you lose it, that model stays locked.
- Gunsmith builds take up to 5 paid attachments. Guns looted in Hajin can carry up to 8.
- Slot fees climb: 1k, 5k, 10k, 25k, 50k (91,000 for five, before attachments). Reported 41k four-slot totals back the 10k third slot.
18 more
- Attachments cost extra on top of slot fees, from about 1,900 (Pulse-MW laser) to 15,000 (Han 86 60 Round Drum).
- The Apex slot carries no slot fee and opens only when the gun reaches max level, but the Apex attachment itself is priced: the Rezi 12 Enforcer Apex showed $52,000 in the cart. It is separate from the five paid slots.
- Launchers take no attachments or Apex. The knife only takes cosmetics. Camos, charms, decals and stickers are free.
- Each owned blueprint gives one free build. Officially, a lost blueprint can be rebought at a discount, though one guide saw the full build cost.
- Blueprint rebuy examples: Inner Circuit M4 88,875; Beta Forged Han 86 88,312; Forged Resolve M4 93,937; 141 and 141 Prime M4 54,750.
- Vault Edition blueprints: Kastov 762 Voltspine, ISO Nightshade La Sombra Venenosa, Rezi 12 Shattered Code, Oris 8.6 Volt-Edge, Combat Knife Sombra Besada.
- A 5% Gunsmith discount unlocks at DMZ level 25. One guide lists 3D Printer Gunsmith Upgrade I (5% off) at 50,000 plus materials.
- One walkthrough reports a 1,000 cash fee per broken attachment removed. Replacement parts and slots cost extra. Not officially confirmed.
- Weapon Prestige resets a max-level gun to level 1 and relocks its attachments, except Apex and Blueprint attachments, which stay unlocked (official progression blog). The Oct 23 patch fixed camos and Apex wrongly showing as locked.
- Weapon levels and attachment unlocks are shared with Multiplayer. Unlocking an attachment you already own gives a Bonus Level Up.
- Resale value is very low. A ~118k Rezi 12 Enforcer build sold for 4,300, and an 88,875 Inner Circuit M4 sold for 10,000.
- The Weapon Stash starts at 12 guns, gains +6 at DMZ levels 35 and 60, and +6 more from a 50k 3D Printer upgrade.
- You deploy with 2 guns plus a melee weapon. A Medium Weapon Backpack adds a third; one comes as a level 61 reward.
- The Vendor opens at DMZ level 5 with rotating stock (+1 weapon at level 18). Example prices: Rare Mosin 32,750; Legendary Hyeon Burst 123,500.
- Operator Prestige takes 2 guns each time: 1st Prestige wants 2 Rare-or-better guns with 3 attachment slots (200k); 2nd and 3rd+ want 2 guns with 4 slots each (300k / 500k). Weapon rarity is not stated officially; the Epic/Legendary rarities apply to the carrier, backpack and ingredients.
- Lieutenants have a rare chance to drop their signature gun. If they don't, check their loot room; the key sometimes drops from them.
- There are 33 launch weapons (32 guns plus the knife). Some databases list 35 by also counting Doctor's Salve and Incarcerator.
- Gunsmith catalogue prices differ between captures and accounts (a base M4 is listed at 4,750, 5,000 and 6,250 by different guides), so treat prices here as a guide.

Boss loot
Lieutenant weapons
Signature guns that Lieutenants can drop. See the Bosses page for where they spawn.

Before you sell
Builds lose most of their value
