Description[]
The Nailgun is the best construction tool with the highest repair value (1000 points) for brick, metal, concrete, and steel blocks, as well as traps and devices. It shoots Nails (10 in a single magazine) and reloads automatically with the correct Ammunition, or manually using the reload key (default key R). Nails can be found or produced in a Forge.

The recipe above contains the Resources/Magazines needed for each Quality level of the Nailgun.
A higher Quality item may provide better stats at the cost of increased material and unlock requirements.
* Crafting quality 6 items also requires 1 Legendary Part, which has been excluded from this table for brevity.
Uses[]
The Nailgun can be a tool or a weapon. Its main function is to quickly upgrade buildings. When used as a tool to upgrade buildings, the Nailgun does not consume Nails. However, Nails are required to use it as a weapon. Despite being usable against entities, its low entity damage means it should only be used as a last resort or for challenges, since its damage is far weaker than many ranged weapons. The Nailgun is most effective against stone blocks/builds, meaning that it can be best used against cobblestone or concrete, although this is extremely ineffective.
Repair[]
The condition of a Nailgun deteriorates with each use of the primary action (attack) until eventually it stops working and needs to be repaired. This can be done using a Repair Kit.
Notes[]
- You can't use the secondary action (default: right-click) to aim with the Nailgun like with any other ranged weapon, since this button is used for the upgrade/repair function.
