Crafting and Using a 10mm Homemade Assault Rifle

Assemble the Rifle

Craft the 10mm Homemade Assault Rifle at a crafting table. It is a crafting_shaped recipe, so arrange the required components in the exact pattern shown in your recipe book. The rifle shares 10mm Rounds with the 10mm Pistol, which means you only need to stock one ammo type for both weapons.

Ammo and Loadout

Craft 10mm Rounds in bulk before you leave your base. Because the rifle fires faster than the pistol, bring at least twice the ammunition you think you need. Fill an Ammo Box with spare rounds and keep it in your base storage; carry one or two stacks on your person.

Practical Tips

• The rifle is best used at medium range against groups. Single targets can be handled with the pistol to save ammo.
• Pair the rifle with Anti-Rad Suit pieces if you are travelling through irradiated areas; the suit reduces radiation buildup while you fight.
• Repair or replace the rifle when it wears down — keep spare components in a chest near your crafting table.
• Loot Bottle Caps from fallen enemies to fund future ammo crafting.
