Necromunda: Hired Gun has a really back to basics feel in terms of shooting and platforming. It's fast-paced run-n-gun action that's not a world away from early 1990s shooters. Despite that, it has an odd way of handling weapons and gear. Unlike Doom and other games of its ilk, you can collect any weapon you find in a level. But how do you equip weapons in Necromunda: Hired Gun?
This quick guide will walk you through how to equip weapons in and out of missions in Necromunda: Hired Gun so that you always have the right guns and dealers at your disposal.
Necromunda: Hired Gun How to equip weapons in and out of missions
You might have missed the prompt for the first tutorial mission, which explains that you can have a special slot to equip weapons during missions. Any other weapons you pick up simply go to your armory and can be kept or sold during the post-mission loot screen.
You can cut and change your unique weapon slot as many times as you like, but be sure to pick up any weapons you come across and don't leave anything behind.
As mentioned in our inventory guide, there is no Necromunda: Hired Gun inventory, but a post-mission loot screen will show you all the weapons you have collected during a mission. It also lets you choose to keep them in your personal inventory or sell them.
Between missions, you'll find yourself in Martyr's End, where you can buy weapons, bionic augments, and upgrade your weapons. When you're ready to fight, you select a mission on the terminal screen. This will bring up your loading screen.
From here you can select which weapons and gear to take with you when fighting gangers.
You will only be able to equip two pistols, and either two standard weapons, two special weapons, two heavy weapons, or a mix.
This screen is also where you equip your armor and status times, four of which your inventory can hold. But you can equip one and three, respectively.
You can also buy proximity grenades, medkits, and stims here, which are pretty self-explanatory. Ratskin Cards and Treasure Cards are also up for grabs, which improve the quality of loot found in chests during missions, and changes which are consumed when a Trapped Chest is opened.
And that's how you equip weapons in and out of missions in Necromunda: Hired Gun. Now you also know how to buy and upgrade guns, as well as how many you can take with you into battle.
