Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the best early weapon in Project: Mist?
Shotgun — found in the Greenhouse facility first floor armory. High close-range damage, reveals invisible enemies, and one-shots small creatures. Craft shells at 1 gunpowder + 1 scrap metal = 4 shells. Most ammo-efficient weapon in Early Access.
Q: How do I upgrade the Gravity Gun?
Spend Blood Orbs in the perks menu. Tier 1: stronger pull. Tier 2: throw objects as projectiles (3x pistol damage). Tier 3: briefly grab enemies. Prioritize Blood Orbs for Tier 2 — it's the biggest power spike in the game.
Q: How do I craft ammo and medkits?
Ammo at workbench: gunpowder + scrap metal. Rifle: 1+1=8 rounds. Shotgun: 1+1=4 shells. Medkit: 1 cloth + 1 alcohol + 1 herb. You cannot buy ammo — crafting is the only reliable source. Scrap duplicate weapons for metal.
Q: What's the best train base build order?
Storage Depot → Workbench Tier 2 → Armory → Defensive Turrets. Storage first because it gates everything else. More storage = longer expeditions. Turrets auto-defend the train while you craft.
