Crafting Firearms: Handgun, Heavy Handgun, Musket, and Shotgun

Required Materials

All four firearms — Handgun, Heavy Handgun, Musket, and Shotgun — are assembled at the Engineering Station. Before you start, collect Strange Alloy, Golem Scrap, and Piglin Medal. These are the core metals used across the firearm recipes.

You will also need ammunition on hand: Bullet, High Velocity Bullet, Aquatic Bullet, and Auric Bullet. Each firearm accepts a different tier, so craft a small batch of each before testing.

Assembly Steps

1. Place the Engineering Station and open it.

2. Insert Strange Alloy and Golem Scrap as the frame materials.

3. Add Piglin Medal where the recipe calls for a reinforced component.

4. Confirm the craft and collect the finished firearm.

The Handgun is the lightest option and pairs well with standard Bullets. The Heavy Handgun and Shotgun consume more materials but reward you with heavier output. The Musket sits between them and works best with High Velocity Bullets for longer engagements. Load ammunition by holding the firearm and the matching bullet type, then firing.
