Crafting weapons is simple business—for you, that is. I take care of all the real work once you’ve handed over the Durables and Blueprints. Just the way I like it. Just try to keep up with me through this guide and before long, you’ll be showing off the finest artwork that comes with a trigger!

There are three things required to attempt Crafting a weapon: Durables, Blueprints, and Points.




Durables determine how long the weapon will be available in your inventory, where different grades of Durables yield different durations of time.

Blueprints itemize the possible weapon you may get and the odds of the Crafting being a success. Make sure to review the description of the Blueprint to see if it can Craft the kind of weapon you’re looking for.

Where do Points fit into Crafting? Ol’ Henry has gotta eat too, you know! Every Crafting attempt requires a fee of Points, and the amount will vary depending on the materials used.

You can find Durables and Blueprints in a variety of ways, but you’ll likely get your first few just by playing.

As you might expect, the best quality materials for Crafting aren’t exactly going to fall right on your lap! The best are rare and harder to find, but I’ve got a system for turning the odds in your favor.

Synthesis takes your lower quality materials and creates higher quality versions of them. All you need to get started is have more than one of the same materials for the Synthesis process.

Are you still following along? The real important bits can be found here in Synthesis! Keep improving the quality of your materials with Synthesis, and you can have yourself the best possible Durables and Blueprints for Crafting! And it all starts by Synthesizing the materials you find for free, just from playing.

I stand behind every weapon I craft! But I can’t expect every Zombie hunter and merc to have the same respect for gun smithing that I do… Henry ain’t here to judge! If you’ve got guns that need to go, Disassembly will turn those weapons into Crafting materials.

Visit the Disassembly menu when there are items in your inventory that you no longer need, as they may become useful Crafting materials if disassembled.

Why, look at that! I guess reading ain’t out of style when there are free guns on the line. I hope that you’ve used this quick rundown to stay familiar with the essentials of Crafting. Come see me after you’ve gotten yourself those first few Crafting materials! Before long, this’ll all just come as second nature to you.
