Getting Started with Firearms

Crafting Your First Weapon

Epic Knights Artilleries and Firearms adds gunpowder weapons and crossbows to your medieval world. All weapons and ammunition can be crafted in standard survival mode using a workbench or furnace.

Start with cheaper options like the Hand Gonne or Javelins before investing in advanced firearms. Early guns have heavy spread and misfire rates, so expect less accuracy than later models.

Understanding Reload Mechanics

Every firearm features a unique reload process—you cannot simply fire repeatedly. Each weapon has its own reload steps you must complete between shots. This realistic mechanic applies to all gunpowder weapons from the Fire Lance to the Matchlock Musket.

Choosing Your Arsenal

For raw power, consider the Arquebus or Matchlock Musket. For rapid fire, the Chu Ko Nu repeating crossbow holds eight arrows. Defensive players should craft throwable items like Clay Bombs or Hot Oil Pots to protect fortress walls.
