Sweep, dig, and hope for something rare
You start in Europe with a metal detector and a shovel, sweeping fields from the First and Second World Wars and listening for the next signal. Digging can turn up gun parts, ordnance, and other leftovers, which you haul home in a backpack that rewards careful stacking. Auctions and markets offer another way in, for when your arms are tired but your wallet is not. Travel opens up relics from other conflicts and countries, from Soviet and American gear to Cold War and Yugoslav finds. That pull of one more scan is a highlight.
Rusty guns and a house full of shelves
A gun pulled from the woods arrives rusted and often missing pieces. You clean off the rust, tend the wooden parts, track down what is absent, and put it back together. Books help you identify what you found, which suits anyone who likes learning the names behind the metal. What you keep goes on display at home, where you can pick items up, rotate them, and place them freely. Sell the duplicates, keep the favorites, and shape a collection that looks like nobody else's. It is slow, low-pressure work with a dry sort of humor to hauling a bomb home to the living room.
Good to know before you start collecting?
How do you find new items?
Metal detecting in historic fields is the main route, with shovels that wear out and need replacing. Auctions, a militaria fair, and markets sell pieces you might never dig up, and travel unlocks new regions with their own relic pools.
What does restoring involve?
Rusted finds need cleaning with supplies like rust remover and wood oil, plus replacement parts found separately. A gun is only complete once every missing barrel, stock, or small fitting is tracked down and fitted.
Can you keep everything you find?
With over a thousand items in the game, nobody is expected to keep it all. Your backpack space is limited and awkward shapes can be hard to pack, so selling extras funds better gear, books, and travel.
Does the game tell you what to do?
Very little. Expect to learn by trial and error, from how packing works to how identification and selling fit together. That looseness suits patient collectors more than anyone wanting clear objectives.
