Our take on Gunsmith
Production begins with basic clothing and can progress to firearms and explosives as reputation, licences, and research open access to more complex goods.
What is Gunsmith?
Run an arms manufacturing business that begins in a small inherited factory.
Buy resources, choose machines and belts, and produce goods for clients. Production starts with clothing and other less dangerous items; licences, reputation, and research open access to more complex equipment, including armour, ammunition, firearms, and explosives. The game includes more than 35 machines, over 30 products, over 20 clients, four factory types, and six worker types. Buy and sell through a dynamic marketplace or use automated trading. Special orders, scenarios, and a sandbox mode provide different ways to manage the factory. Business choices also extend to dealing with clients who request items that may not be legal and influencing political events.
