    The Gun Emporium is the place where you can build and acquire new weapons that can't be found anywhere else in the game. Create new guns by combining regular weapons with Forging Hardware (FH) that you'll acquire by completing Jobs (special missions that are completed in a match) or by spinning the Roulette wheel after completing a match. Welcome, and let's get started, soldiers!

    Once you're ready to create a new weapon or customize an old one, head over to the Emporium. On the right side you'll see three buttons that give you access to all the functions of the Emporium.

    • Forge

        In this part of the Emporium, you can use Forging Hardware (FH) to take a GP or NX-Standard weapon and turn it into something you can only get at the Emporium.

        To use the Forge:
      • Select the "Weapon" tab from the "Forging Inventory" window on the lower right of your screen.
      • Select the weapon you'd like to use in the Forge and move it to the Weapon slot in the Forging menu.

      • Only certain weapons can be used in the Forge. However any weapon displayed in the Forging inventory window is eligible to be forged.

      • Click on the "Auto-Complete" button. If you have enough of the right types of FH you'll see what you will be able to create in the Expected Result window.
      • Experiment with FH and amounts of FH to see what guns are available!
      • Click the "Forge" button to create your new weapon!
      • HINT: To start, try using an Anaconda Silver with 6 FH - Replica Pallets.

    • Custom

      The Customization section of the Emporium will allow you to add special customization components to some existing weapons which will alter some aspect of their stats.

      To Customize a weapon:
      • Select the "weapon" tab from the "Customization Inventory" window on the lower right of your screen.
      • Select the weapon you'd like to Customize and double-click it to add it to the Weapon slot in the Customization Menu.
      • Only certain weapons can be Customized. However any weapon displayed in the Customization Inventory window is eligible to be Customized.
      • Eligible weapons will have a number of "customization slots." These slots determine how many customizations can be placed on a weapon. Warning! Whether or not a customization succeeds or fails, the customization slot will be used up.
      • Select the "Customization Items" tab in the Customization Inventory window.
      • Select the customization component you would like to use on your selected weapon.
      • The "Customization Results" window will display which of the weapon's stats will change should the customization succeed.
      • Customization Items will raise some stats and lower others, so be careful about what you change about your weapon.
      • Click the "Customize" button to Customize your weapon!
      • Note the probability of success is displayed in the upper right next to your weapon. Failure results in the loss of the Customization Item and the Customization Slot. You will not lose the original weapon.

    • Jobs

      Jobs are special tasks that you can perform during Combat Arms play sessions to earn items like Forging Hardware.

      The display will indicate the name of the Job, the requirements for fulfilling it, and how close you are to completing the task.

      • To accept a Job, simply click on the "Job" button. The Job list on the upper right hand will show you a list of all Jobs currently available to you. Jobs that are completed will say Complete, and those that are accepted but not yet complete will say "In Progress".
      • You can observe the progress of your jobs by opening up the Character Information window and clicking on the Jobs tab.
      • Return to the Jobs menu of the Gun Emporium when you have completed the job's requirements. Select the completed job and click the "Finish" button to accept your reward.

    • Shoot one of the 12 spots on the outside of the wheel.
      • Note: If you don't select a spot within ten seconds, one will be selected randomly.
    • The Roulette Wheel will spin.
    • You'll win whatever item that ends up next to your selected spot.
    Weapon Hardware are advanced components that you'll use in the Emporium to modify GP and NX-Standard weapons. Use it or lose it? Not here. Weapon Hardware will remain available to you until you use it on a weapon.

    Gun components come in two types:
    • Forging Hardware: These components can be used in the Forge to transform a GP or NX-Standard weapon into a special weapon found nowhere else in Combat Arms.
    • Customization Items: These components can be used to customize existing weapons. these components have a chance of improving the weapon's base characteristics.
