Gun parts access in Ghost of Yotei
Gun parts only become available after you unlock parts of the map beyond the Yotei Grasslands, specifically after the main storyline opens up the Tokachi Range and Oshima Coast areas. Before this, gun parts are unavailable.
In these unlocked regions, gun parts drop mostly from enemy gunners and can be looted in the environment. The Tokachi Range is the hotspot for finding gun parts early.
Location of gun parts in Ghost of Yotei
You can find gun parts in Ghost of Yotei following these methods:
1. Defeating gun-wielding enemies in Tokachi Range
Enemy gunners in the Tokachi Range regularly drop gun parts when eliminated. This region is the first major hotspot for farming gun parts, featuring more firearms-equipped foes than earlier areas.
2. Battling gun users in Oshima Coast
Once in the Oshima Coast region, you’ll face more advanced ranged enemies. These adversaries also drop gun parts, often in greater numbers. Difficulty may be higher, but loot is plentiful.
3. Looting chests throughout Tokachi Range and Oshima Coast
Aside from enemy drops, gun parts are sometimes found inside rare chests scattered around Tokachi Range. Explore encampments and watch for hidden loot to maximize your haul.
Look out for locked or guarded loot containers in the Oshima Coast area. These can reward gun parts, making it worthwhile to clear enemy strongholds and investigate every corner.
5. Local merchant exchanges (endgame)
Some endgame merchants, especially traveling blacksmiths in advanced areas, will exchange rare metals and coin for gun parts. Check merchant inventories if you’re flush with currency and lacking gun parts.
Key quests to get guns and gun parts
- The Saito Brothers quest (Tokachi Range)
This revenge quest unlocks the Tanegashima matchlock rifle. During and after this quest, you will encounter gun-wielding enemies who drop gun parts frequently. - Guns and Consequences quest (Oshima Coast)
This quest introduces the Tanzutsu matchlock pistol. Progressing through it will also put you in contact with enemies who drop gun parts.
These quests mark the points in the game where gun parts become relevant for ammo, weapon acquisition, and upgrades.
Using guns in Ghost of Yotei
The fastest way to stock up on gun parts is by battling gun-wielding foes and scouring both Tokachi Range and Oshima Coast. These drops, together with chest loot and endgame merchant exchanges, let resourceful players quickly enhance their firearms and progress through tougher content. Stay alert, clear every camp, and trade wisely for a fully upgraded arsenal.
Gun parts are primarily used for upgrading your guns, the Tanegashima and Tanzutsu, at the forge. Upgrades improve damage and functionality and require a combination of metals, rare metals, and gun parts.
