Voidtrain Weapon Crafting Guide: How to Create and Upgrade All Weapons

As in any survival game, weapons in Voidtrain play a crucial role. Throughout the main campaign, you'll encounter various enemies: soldiers, bugs, sharks, and other denizens of the void. To stand your ground against them, you’ll need a good gun. In this guide, we’ll break down the complex weapon crafting system and share some tips on crafting firearms in the game.

In Voidtrain, the weapon system revolves around two main types: the unremovable revolver and modular two-handed guns. The “Old Pal” revolver is your starter weapon—it’s given to you at the very beginning, has infinite ammo, and allows you to swap out its own modules as you progress. All other guns are procedurally generated from combinations of different weapon modules. You can rebuild these guns at the weapon workbench, or sometimes find complete ones as loot from enemies at outposts and depots.

Modules affect not only the base stats, but also the weapon type and shot effects. Typically, a firearm requires four main parts: barrel, magazine, frame, and grip, but it can also have optional ones like a stock or sight. With certain special modules, a weapon can change its shot element—called a core. Cores can be frost, fire, or toxic.

Basic rifle stats are described by a set of eight characteristics:

Balancing these weapon stats properly will help you create the best possible gun.

Here’s how each component affects your weapon’s stats:

Modules come in five quality tiers, from common to legendary. Higher tiers generally provide better stats and more bonus effects.

Magazine modules don’t just improve reload and capacity—they also add effects to your weapon. You’ll find elemental buffs like fire and poison (which add extra damage), and ice (which can freeze enemies).

You’ll need ammo to fire your weapons, which you can craft at the workbench using iron ingots and unstable chemicals.

Every weapon has its own durability. When durability gets low, guns can jam or even stop firing entirely. Make sure to repair your weapons regularly, but don’t expect to keep one gun forever—after multiple repairs, the basic stats of its parts can degrade.

To get modules or ready-made weapons, you’ll need to clear outposts and defeat soldiers in depots.

You can also get legendary weapon modules from lottery machines. Every depot has one of these machines, which require tokens to play. Tokens can also be earned by defeating soldiers in the area.

Another way to get modules is by completing the special “Arena” mode. After winning five waves, you’ll be rewarded with three chests, which can be opened at the depot. There’s a chance you’ll find the modules you need inside.

Always go for the best. Legendary module versions should always be your top priority. They offer more features, higher base stats, and extra buffs.

Weapons have stat caps, so some parts and combinations can’t reach their full potential.
