How Firearm Factory Works
Firearm Factory is an intense industrial race where players compete to locate weapon components from conveyor belts, transport them to personal assembly stations, and construct an operational firearm. The first player to complete their weapon gains lethal authority over the remaining players.
Core Mechanics
- Blueprint Verification: Each round specifies a weapon blueprint requiring 3-4 distinct parts (Receiver, Barrel, Trigger Assembly, Ammo Clip).
- Conveyor Harvesting: Parts travel along high-speed overhead belts and ground tracks.
- Workbench Assembly: Deposit each matching component onto your designated workstation.
- Final Showdown: Once the weapon is cocked, aim and eliminate opponents still scurrying for parts.
Step-by-Step Winning Strategy
1. The Pre-Spawn Route
Do not run blindly to the center. Watch the conveyor feed chutes on the left and right walls. Components spawn in predictable waves. Position yourself 2 paces ahead of the belt drop.
2. Prioritize Bulky Components
Large components (Barrels, Stocks) reduce your movement speed slightly while carrying. Deliver them first while the arena is clear, saving compact parts (Pins, Triggers) for the frantic final stretch.
3. v2.0 Couch Co-op Adjustments
In the v2.0 local co-op update, the required ingredient for gun assembly is rendered directly on individual player workbenches rather than at the bottom of the arena. Keep your eyes on your local station.
Common Fatal Mistakes
- Hoarding wrong parts: You cannot drop an incorrect part back onto the belt immediately; it incurs a 1.5-second stumble delay.
- Tunnel vision during assembly: Always monitor other stations. If an opponent has 2/3 parts locked in, intercept their route rather than continuing your own slow build.
