InNightingale, players' first experience with the game’s ranged combat system will involve the use of the Simple Slingbow, a slingshot which uses ammo crafted from ordinary rocks at a Simple Workbench. Progressing to firearms introduces an expected significant leap in combat effectiveness, offering the substantial damage boost needed to take down more formidable foes. This guide focuses on navigating the complexities of obtaining guns and ammunition inNightingale.
How to Get Guns in Nightingale
Before players canutilize firearms inNightingale, they must acquire the requisite schematics for the firearms, ammunition, crafting stations, and augmentations. Securing these schematics poses a considerable challenge that will require the player to advance their gear score before they can proceed.
Obtain Realm Card to Unlock Provisioner Realms
Schematics to craft guns inNightingaleare available from traders found exclusively withinProvisioner Realms. Through progressinNightingale’s main story, players will eventually receive a quest requiring them to start obtaining specific Major Cards. To obtain these cards, the player must clear special dungeons located throughout their Abeyance called Sites of Power. These sites are marked on the player’s map, making them relatively easy to locate.
In the player’s Abeyance, there are four Site of Power dungeons they will have to overcome as part ofNightingale’s main quest series. These dungeons must be completed in order of difficulty, and each dungeon has a minimum gear score requirement. The order and gear score requirement for each Site of Power is as follows:
Upon completing theProvisioner Site of Powerand defeating its final boss, the Fabled Automaton Knight, the player will receive theProvisioner Card. Upon obtaining this card, an NPC will introduce the player to the concept of Provisioner Realms, which are Realms that players can access by combining the Provisioner Card with other Realm cards. Unlocking and visiting these realms are crucial to obtaining the schematics necessary to craft guns and ammo inNightingale.

In order to craft ammunition, players will first need to craft Gunpowder using 2 Sulfur and 2 Coal at a Refined Masonry Bench. Ingots can be crafted using 2 Ore at a Simple Smelter or better.
