How to unlock weapons in Ripout
The only way to unlock new weapons in Ripout is to play missions. They aren’t found hidden somewhere in the mission (thank goodness) but rather, weapons unlock as mission completion rewards.
For example, the first mission I played had me unlock the shotgun. I’m fairly certain Ripout isn’t procedurally generated but is instead a semi-roguelike campaign-driven game, so when I unlock the shotgun is when you should also unlock the shotgun.
Also, the pet gun is attached to every primary weapon in Ripout, so you don’t need to worry about losing that. I love the pet gun in Ripout and think it’s one of the best features of the game.
How to equip weapons in Ripout
It’s not enough to unlock weapons — you also need to craft them. You can only do this from the central hub. On the first floor on the left side of the base, you’ll see a crafting bench decorated with weapons on the wall. Interact with the workbench.
Everything requires resources to unlock. Thankfully, Ripout isn’t shy when doling out resources, so you should have enough to craft the weapons you unlock. Whether it’s a new primary weapon, secondary weapon, or melee weapon, you need enough biotic, electronic, mechanical, refined alloy, and goranium.
Once you’ve crafted the weapon, you can equip it by exiting the workbench, turning 180 degrees, and interacting with the weapon station. Select your primary, secondary, and melee weapons here before you head out on your next big mission. You might also want to check out how to change the difficulty in Ripout before your next mission.
