Skyships Weapons: Gun Classes, Unlocks and Blueprint Sources

Search by weapon name or alias, or filter by mount class and rarity to narrow the 14 entries.

Common Case blueprint pools describe possible rewards, not guaranteed drops. A case's rarity odds do not give the drop chance of an individual weapon. See case rewards and opening for the case options and their probabilities.

A blueprint is used to build a weapon. A research unlock opens a weapon option; it is separate from fitting a finished gun. Pack weapons also need a compatible mount before they can be used aboard your ship.

Use the ship research guide for Wasp's tech tree, the free like reward guide to claim Hydra, or the pack comparison to compare Starter Pack with other purchases.

Light and Medium identify mount compatibility. M12, M14, AK-101, Bofors, MK 4 14.5mm Quad and Hydra Rockets are Light weapons. FK-88 88mm Flak is Medium, so it needs a compatible Medium mount.

While docked, open Shipyard and click the weapon position you want to change. Read the class at the top of Choose a Gun, such as LIGHT GUNS, and choose from that position's weapon options.

The position labels identify the part of the ship:

• PORT: left side.
• STBD: right side.
• FORE: front.
• AFT: rear.

Gun numbers belong to the current ship setup. AK-101 can occupy different positions, so an installation in Gun 5 does not make Gun 5 its required slot.

• Start with M14: training supplies its blueprint, and building it requires 12 Iron. It is a straightforward first construction target.
• Claim Hydra for a free rocket option: its permanent like-reward unlock makes it worth obtaining before spending on another weapon route.
• Research AK-101 through Wasp: Hardened Breech Blocks gives you another Light weapon option alongside its other unlocks.
• Consider Bofors if you want the Starter Pack's weapons: it offers a paid route to another Light gun, while the included FK-88 requires a Medium mount.

For early PvE, consider whether your weapons can reach the target as well as their displayed damage. A higher DPS number does not help while a target is out of range. See the early PvE weapon tier list for the recommendations and tradeoffs between these four choices.

To turn the M14 blueprint into a gun, open Market → Blueprints → My Blueprints → Build at a port with the required Iron. Building does not equip it: select a compatible position in Shipyard and click Equip. Gun Fitted confirms the installation, and Equipped identifies the weapon currently assigned to that mount. Follow the build and equip guide for the full workflow.
