No Guns??

[OhHellYeah]

I search "Are there guns in Baldurs gate 3". It says YES.
But there's no guns or gun type class in game?
Nerd friends say OH ITS PURE DND GAME in the 5th edition.
I look up Baldurs Gate 3 DND version it says 5th edition.
I look up DND 5th edition weapons; There are guns and an entire gun class.

So this almighty DND final boss game of the year is fraudulent?
Where are the guns?

I'm honest - I had to look it up, but indeed there could be guns[dnd5e.wikidot.com] o,O

I want those, too!

Maybe in a different campaign? =)

The game doesn't need guns lol. It has a huge amount of spells.

[Deylendor]

There didn't make guns for the game. What do you want now? Guns?
There aren't any. Now what?

[Lackluster]

Yeah, you got misinformed by some AI generated article when you googled if it had guns. It doesn't. D&D does have campaign settings which include guns, but by and in large the Forgotten Realms doesn't really have guns, and that's where this game is set. Sorry you were misinformed.

Light crossbow, heavy crossbow, shortbow, longbow are your primary shooters. Depending on how technologically advanced the setting is in the D&D 5e world, there is the scope for guns to be utilised but to my knowledge playing only act 1 so far and early access, there are no guns due to the setting and technology.

As of the year 1492 DR, when BG3 takes place, firearms in Faerûn are very common. It's been at least 100 years since their introduction to wider Faerûn by Lantaneese priests. Guns should be in Baldur's Gate Three.

They're around but they're not common, especially this far from Lantan. Early firarms just aren't as attractive as they were in real life, since spells and magical weapons make them a lot less of a game changer.

Best you're gonna get is bombs.

The only guns you'll ever find in the context of playing the game come from Artificer mods that add them in via a backdoor.

As for "BG3 is basically D&D 5e" . . . it uses the core rule system for D&D 5e, but even in the core rules, guns don't exist by default and are considered an optional rule. Artificers aren't core rules. Beyond that, BG3 also takes a ton of rules liberties that deviate from the 5th edition ruleset by a wide margin (dual wielding hand crossbows).

BG3 is BG3. It is inspired by 5th edition D&D, but it is not 5th edition D&D, it is BG3.

Hope this helps.

Guns would be ok for someone, until they come across someone with a heat metal spell.

Just imagine how well your basic flintlock would work, with it being red hot. Powder going off premature, shot gets wasted.

Modern firearms would be even worse thou. Heat metal make your entire gun red hot, and all the rounds in the magazine would go off prematurely while not in the chamber. That would be a disaster as it explodes in your hand.

Karlach has the guns

Don't know about the Forgotten Realms but in Greyhawk we all had laser guns looted from that spaceship in the Barrier Peaks. Fun times.

Go get a mod. The following Nexus mods add firearms to the game:
Artificer Class
Pirate (Rogue subclass)
And ... there is an entirely separate Firearms mod, that can add them to the game.

All three of these add early 17thc muskets and pistols to the game. The Artillerist Artificer can use them, and also make its own Arcane Cannon. (Essentially, a blaster/force rifle).

I think somebody else has put in modern weapons, like you can add Glock pistols. That makes me nauseous, so I avoid those. Still, I am so tempted to try it just once, so Wyll can just bust into a tavern and scream, "YO! I'm a 'Lock with a Glock!"
