Description:

You thought Rimworld combat was RNG-Heavy? Well, I bet you haven’t played with Makeshift.
The reduced accuracy + random shot count make it the most RNG-Heavy thing you’ll ever see!

That said, I actually like the idea of weak early-game guns, so I didn’t change too much. I tightened up the random bullet count and reduced the chance of guns "jamming" to make them less frustrating. I also buffed/nerfed the guns that needed it, and lowered the crafting Crafting skill requirement by 1 across the board.

To add some extra flavor, I reduced the bullet speed of all makeshift weapons by 30%. It just makes sense thematically and doesn’t drastically impact their combat strength.

Oh, and I threw in a brand-new makeshift weapon: a revolver.

Full list of changes:

Makeshift Pistol: – Random shots 0~1 -> 0~2 – Bullet speed 55 -> 39 – Component cost 2 -> 1 – Damage 8 -> 7 – Crafting skill reqiurement 4 -> 3 Makeshift SMG: – Random shots 0~3 -> 0~4 – Bullet speed 55 -> 39 – Crafting skill reqiurement 5 -> 4 Makeshift Rifle: – Random shots 1~5 -> 1~4 – Bullet speed 70 -> 49 – Crafting skill reqiurement 6 -> 5 Makeshift Shotgun: – Random shots 1~5 -> 3~5 – Bullet speed 55 -> 39 – Crafting skill reqiurement 6 -> 5 Makeshift LMG: – Random shots 3~12 -> 5~11 – Bullet speed 46 -> 32 – Crafting skill reqiurement 7 -> 6
