Gunfire Reborn is a co-op roguelite FPS with RPG elements where you play as one of several animal-themed heroes fighting through procedurally generated levels. The game's hook is its elemental combo system — fire, lightning, corrosion, and other elements interact to create devastating chain reactions. Each run offers random weapon drops with randomized inscriptions (modifiers) and scroll buffs that stack to create overpowered builds. With 8 playable heroes, 100+ weapons, and up to 4-player co-op, Gunfire Reborn delivers short, punchy roguelite sessions with satisfying build diversity.
Resource management and crafting determine how quickly your power scales. This guide covers what to prioritize, where to farm, and how to avoid wasting resources on the wrong upgrades.
Crafting Priority List
The order you should invest resources:
| Priority | Target | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Primary equipment | Biggest damage increase per resource spent |
| 2 | Core build gear | Enables your build's key synergies |
| 3 | Defensive upgrades | Survivability for boss fights |
| 4 | Secondary equipment | Situational options for specific content |
| 5 | Consumables | Temporary boosts for hard content |

Crafting Mistakes to Avoid
- Spreading upgrades across multiple equipment — Focus one weapon to max before diversifying.
- Hoarding materials — Use them. The game provides enough if you farm efficiently.
- Upgrading the wrong gear — Check our builds guide before investing.
- Ignoring Duo Fjord farming — This area has the best resource-to-time ratio in mid-game.
- Crafting consumables too early — Save specialty materials for late-game recipes.
Resource Efficiency Tips
- Elemental combos (Fire + Corrosion = Decay explosion, Lightning + Corrosion = Miasma cloud) multiply your damage by 3-5x. Always carry two weapons with different elements and alternate between them.
- Farm Duo Fjord during mid-game for the best return on time
- Check the walkthrough to know when each resource becomes available
