In the post-apocalyptic world of Atomfall, survival hinges on more than just luck—it’s about having reliable weapons.

Most guns you will encounter are rusty and barely functional; hence, the Gunsmith skill becomes precious for any serious player who wants to upgrade their weapons.

Unlock Gunsmith Skill In Atomfall

In Atomfall, the Gunsmith skill is essential for upgrading your weapon. To unlock it, you need to find the Crafting Manual.

The steps to unlock Gunsmith Skill in Atomfall is neither an easy task nor a single step:

1. Finding a Crafting Skill Manual

• Inside the Delta Storage Room at the Interchange
• Or pick it up from Morris at Wyndham Village

2. Invest Skill Points

• 7 skill points for Gunsmith
• Training Stimulants can be obtained from bunkers, hidden rooms, and the Interchange.

Pro Tip: If you come across a note tying Morris to Maisie’s murder, you might be able to negotiate for a free manual by agreeing to keep his secret.

Once you have Gunsmith Skil unlocked, you can use it to upgrade your weapon. So in Atomfall, you will find three basic weapon tiers for evolution;
