Player problem

Players need weapons guidance that fits their save state, patch scope and build route instead of generic text.

The Weapons page connects the topic to route state, sources, risks and a next action so it can support real play.

When weapons matters

This page is for the moment when weapons changes a build, route, mod state or save decision.

Check whether weapons is a build, route, mod or utility problem.
Use the linked source rows before applying exact facts.
Keep base game, Phantom Liberty and modded saves separate.

How to use weapons safely

The page should answer the next action first, then send the player deeper only when needed.

Protect saves before irreversible choices.
Use original mod or official support sources for technical topics.
Avoid spoiler-heavy sources until the route actually needs them.

What to ignore for now

Not every weapons detail is useful on a live save.

Ignore collector-only details unless completion is the goal.
Do not change mods while debugging story route problems.
Do not chase exact values without source dates.

Weapons action map

Current need	Use this source layer	Next action

Action checklist

Do this in order

Open the Weapons source chips.
Confirm base game, Phantom Liberty or modded scope.
Make a manual save if route state can change.
Pick one next action and retest.
