What Gunsmith actually does
Gunsmith is a Tier 5 Academy class at 30,000 Cores. Like every class in the game, it hands you starter gear (Gunsmith Armor Set, Musket) and then scales through four levels - three personal upgrades and a team bonus at the end.
The Level 1 passive is the identity: Guns and Ammo can be crafted. Everything after that builds on the same idea rather than switching lanes.
Level by level
| Level | Unlock | What changes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 30,000 Cores | Guns and Ammo can be crafted |
| 2 | Class level requirement | Gunshots can pierce through multiple enemies |
| 3 | Class level requirement | Enemies defeated with a gun turn golden |
| 4 | Career total depth gate | Ammo grants 100% more bullets (team bonus) |
Level 4 is the team bonus - it applies to the whole 30-player server and gates on career total depth, not on anything you do in one run.
Is Gunsmith worth 30,000 Cores?
At Gunsmith’s price point the question is never whether the class works - it is whether it fixes a problem you actually have. Tier 5 unlocks cost more than everything below them combined, so buy one when your runs are failing for the specific reason this class solves.
Where it fits in a team
The team bonus is what makes Gunsmith show up in multiplayer lobbies: Ammo grants 100% more bullets. In a 30-player server that is a bonus nobody has to spend their own Cores on, which is why team-first classes get picked even by players who main something else.
Gun crafting pairs with the drill upgrade path when you are splitting Coins between damage and depth - see the drill upgrades guide.
