We have an obligation to be honest with our readers, especially with this piece. 

Crafted weapons have not necessarily been useful for many players, in fact, it can be difficult for a crafted weapon to come out with the stats that a player desires. 

Much of the time put into finding material, blueprints, and time to create a weapon that you couldn't otherwise find can be wasted once you craft said weapon. 

Still! Your favorite weapons can be crafted at the crafting station in the White House base and the Lower Manhattan base in Warlords of New York. 

Crafting is an extremely important aspect of the game, especially when you are reaching level caps. 

It is not as crucial to craft weapons and gear at the beginning of the game as it is at endgame and past Warlords of New York.

Along with crafting specific weapons, crafting mods as well as recalibrating crafted weapons becomes the ideal way to go throughout the game.

How To Craft

Crafting is a very interesting aspect of the game. 

Many players have expressed a sense of ease when it comes to crafting weapons than finding them as drops through their playthrough. 

There are few things new players need to take away in order to craft effectively, so if you're familiar with crafting, material, and blueprints this part may not be beneficial for you. 

The first thing a person truly needs before they begin to craft is materials, and materials can be found laid out as loot throughout the game. 

Specific factions drop loot as well:

• Hyenas  - drop polycarbonate generally and also electronics from high level enemies.
• True Sons - drop steel, and carbon fiber from higher level enemies.
• Outcasts - drop ceramics, and titanium from stronger members.

Elite enemies will drop more interesting and rarer material. 

The second thing one will need to begin crafting these incredible weapons is blueprints. 

Certain side missions will get you the blueprints you need and there are specific places that one can find some of the listed weapons. 

You can buy them from vendors, scavenging the world, or specific areas, and missions can grant you the blueprints you're looking for.
