DREADMOOR Weapons, Tools & Survival Gear

Prepare equipment by purpose

The official description connects resource gathering with several different needs. Fishing supplies, combat tools and medicine should not be collapsed into a single weapon score. Begin with what you want to understand about the next journey, then follow the corresponding category.

Harpoons are a category, not an equipment ranking

Reinforced harpoons are named by the developers. That does not establish specific models, damage, ammunition costs or which encounters require one. Real-time confrontations occur on water and land, but the presence of a harpoon category alone cannot prove a particular creature weakness or best weapon.

Tools named in the demo announcement

The July announcement names a Grappling Hook Gun for retrieving drifting cargo and a Harpoon Launcher among the equipment carried into the flooded wilderness. It also describes crafting lures and tackle at a workbench. These names improve on broad equipment categories, but do not establish recipes, ammunition costs, combat damage or effectiveness against a particular creature. See exploration settings and boat maintenance for their voyage context.

Medicine and the limits of preparation

Medicine belongs to the announced crafting range. The store description does not provide named medicines, recovery amounts, status effects or use restrictions. These details must remain distinct from the confirmed category. A preparation article should not prescribe quantities until it has evidence for both the effect and the intended trip.

Follow materials back to exploration

Scrap and blueprints matter because exploration supplies the broader crafting loop. New recipes and improved equipment are part of the official description, but ingredient lists and unlock conditions are not documented here. Keep an equipment record tied to its source and build before turning it into a shopping list.

Bait, lures and tackle

The official store includes specialized bait among craftable supplies. The demo announcement also describes crafting lures and tackle at a workbench. These are fishing supplies, distinct from medicines and combat tools. The fishing guide explains bait conditions; ingredient quantities, species matches and crafting costs still need their own evidence.

What does each named tool do?

The Grappling Hook Gun is specifically connected to retrieving drifting cargo in the demo announcement. The Harpoon Launcher is named among the equipment carried into the wilderness. Keep those descriptions distinct: the presence of both tools does not establish interchangeable uses, damage values or a best loadout. The gameplay overview places retrieval, crafting and combat within the same expedition without inventing a weapon ranking.

Workbench supplies and progression

The demo announcement describes crafting lures and tackle at a workbench and unlocking upgrades through a Fishing Skill Tree. That gives equipment a progression context, but does not provide a complete recipe book or skill layout. Follow scrap and blueprints for the resource side, and fishing conditions for the questions equipment choices are meant to address.
