Description[ | ]

The Nailgun is the best construction tool with the highest repair value 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 upgrade buildings very quickly. 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 will stop working and will need 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.
