About Rise of Gun
Rise of Gun places you in a post‑apocalyptic weapons store where humanity fights back against a zombie‑filled darkness. After losing his family, the protagonist becomes the town’s sole weapon‑making master, tasked with crafting and selling arms to help rebuild society.
The game centers on an unrestricted crafting system, a shop you can upgrade, and a cozy settlement that cycles through day, night, and weather. All actions are single‑player, with save‑anytime and Steam Cloud support, plus optional captions and adjustable difficulty for a relaxed pace.

Weapon Crafting
Players can assemble weapons without restrictions, even mixing parts that would normally be incompatible. The system is designed to be convenient and enjoyable, focusing on the result rather than repetitive actions.
Every crafted gun can be unique, encouraging experimentation. The crafting interface lets you attach barrels, scopes, stocks, grips, magazines, silencers, and bayonets to create functional weapons.
- Try combining rare parts with common ones to explore the huge range of possible weapon combinations.
- Use the crafting screen frequently to become familiar with part placement and reduce the time spent on each build.

Weapon Parts
Over 200 distinct parts are available, spanning several rarity tiers. These include core components such as barrels, scopes, stocks, grips, magazines, silencers, and bayonets.
The sheer variety allows for more than a million possible weapon combinations, giving players a broad palette for creative design.
- Mix parts of different rarities to balance visual flair with ease of acquisition.
- Keep an eye on the part categories; focusing on one type at a time can streamline inventory management.

Upgrades also unlock new functions like disassembling parts for materials, providing additional gameplay depth.
- Prioritize upgrades that open up more space for selling weapons if you plan to display many at once.
