Crafting ammo and weapons: workbenches, blueprints and recipes
Crafting turns materials into ammunition, melee weapons, bows and scrap guns. Two things decide what you can make: whether you have the recipe (its blueprint) and whether you are standing at the right station. This guide covers both, then lists every ammunition, arrow and weapon recipe with what it needs, apart from the eight recipes that change the finish of the Wolf W6銃剣 and Aiden KBカランビット.
The short version
- Place materials in a station's input grid. A recipe works when the grid holds at least the amounts it lists. Exactly those amounts are used up, so spare items stay where they are.
- Each recipe belongs to one kind of station. Ammunition is made at the 簡易弾薬制作台. Weapons, bows and most arrows are made by hand or at the 基礎作業台.
- You need the blueprint first. Some recipes are known from the start, most arrive when you first reach the Safe House, and the rest are earned through research or missions.
- Corrupted items cannot go in. Revert them first, as explained in Corrupted weapons and gear.
Where to craft
| Station | Makes | Input grid | How you get it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Handcraft | Weapons, bows, arrows, bandages and other general recipes | 2×2 | Always available |
| 基礎作業台 | The same general recipes as Handcraft | 6×5 | Build it in the Safe House: 3× 木材 + 鉄屑 + 金属部品 + 簡易工具箱 |
| 簡易弾薬制作台 | Factory ammunition (the arrows are made elsewhere, see Arrows below) | 6×3 | Build it in the Safe House: 3× 木材 + 2× 鉄屑 + 5× 金属部品 + 多機能ツールプライヤー + 小型万力 + 金属ヤスリ + 片手ハンマー |
| 調理台 | Cooked food | 3×3 | Build it in the Safe House: 柔軟なホース + マッチ + フライパン + 電気絶縁テープ + ガス缶 |
| 基礎医療ステーション | Injectors | 3×4 | Build it in the Safe House: 金属部品 + 医療用アルコール + 生理食塩水 + 医療器具 + 3× 注射器 |
| 簡易鍛造炉 | Ingots, steel and charcoal | 4×4 | Build it in the Safe House. The mission 溶鉱炉 awards the blueprint, a 燃焼コア and 5 鉄筋. It needs アコーディオン + 3× 鉄筋 + 燃焼コア + 8× 粘土の塊 + 5× 鉄屑 + 2× 金属部品 + 10× 鋼材 |
Handcraft and the 基礎作業台 make the same recipes. The Handcraft grid is 2×2 until you learn a talent that widens it to 3×3, and other talents cut material costs. The workbench simply has a much larger grid, which matters when a recipe needs many different materials. The Safe House side of building and research is explained in Safe House progression.
How to get a recipe
| Source | When it happens |
|---|---|
| From the start | Bandages and splints are known on a new character. |
| Arriving at the Safe House | Reaching the Safe House unlocks a large batch at once, including hand-made ammunition, the first melee weapons, the bow, arrows, smelting and the Pure Biomass chain. |
| Research | Finish the matching project at the Research Table. It uses up its materials and needs its named tool installed at the table. Projects appear once you have found their starting item. |
| Mission reward | Completing a mission can award recipes, such as the factory ammunition below. |
Each recipe table below shows which of these unlocks it.
Hand-made ammunition
One bottle of gunpowder makes a large batch of crude ammunition, and nothing else is needed. These recipes are known as soon as you reach the Safe House.
| Ammunition made | You supply |
|---|---|
| 60× 手作り12ゲージ散弾 | 瓶詰めの火薬 |
| 120× 粗製5.56mm弾 | 瓶詰めの火薬 |
| 120× 粗製7.62mm弾 | 瓶詰めの火薬 |
| 200× 粗製9mm弾 | 瓶詰めの火薬 |
Compare crude rounds with factory rounds on their ammunition pages before you commit gunpowder to a batch.
Factory ammunition
These rounds add a metal ingot to the gunpowder. Each recipe is earned from a mission, so they unlock as you progress.

Ingots, steel and charcoal
The metals for factory ammunition come from the 簡易鍛造炉. All of these recipes are known when you reach the Safe House, but you can only craft them once you have built the Forge.
Arrows
Weapons you can craft
Melee weapons and the bow come with the Safe House. The scrap guns, the Black Hand and the upgraded scopes are earned through research or missions.

Check a weapon's page for its damage, then compare it using Enemy damage types and resistances explained.
Before you craft
- Check that you have the blueprint: it is listed on the recipe's page, and the tables above show where it comes from.
- Use Handcraft for single recipes and a workbench when a recipe needs many different materials.
- Remember that spare items in the grid are not used up, only the amounts the recipe lists.
- Check an item's page to see whether the material is also needed for research or another recipe before you spend it.
