Crafting Your Arsenal
An improvised weapon is a testament to ingenuity and desperation. As you generate, consider:
- What is the weapon made from? Does its name hint at its construction (e.g., "Duct Taped Copper Shiv")?
- Is it for close combat, or does it have a ranged element?
- How does the name reflect the weaponâs function and deadliness?
- What kind of story does a weapon like "Salvaged Brick Mine" tell?
- Does it sound like a quick-fix or a carefully crafted tool of survival?
