You thought Rimworld combat was RNG-Heavy? Well, I bet you haven't played with Makeshift.
The reduced accuracy + random shot count make it the most RNG-Heavy thing you'll ever see!
That said, I actually like the idea of weak early-game guns, so I didn’t change too much. I tightened up the random bullet count to make them less frustrating. I also buffed/nerfed the guns that needed it, and lowered the crafting Crafting skill requirement by 1 across the board.
To add some extra flavor, I reduced the bullet speed of all makeshift weapons by 30%. It just makes sense thematically and doesn’t drastically impact their combat strength.
Oh, and I threw in a brand-new makeshift weapon: a revolver.
