How to Craft Weapons in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare

Unlike survival games like DayZ, H1Z1, or even Rust, crafting in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare will be a bit more streamlined and easy to use. Players can craft new Prototype versions of the base weapons they unlock using ‘Salvage’, a new in-game currency that can be earned through various means. Once players unlock the base version of a weapon, they can put their Salvage towards unlock better versions of it. Currently players will be able to craft four different levels of Prototypes, COMMON, RARE, LEGENDARY< and EPIC. Each tier will include its own combination of special perks, with the EPIC weapons containing the most sought after perks. This will allow players new ways to customize their loadouts to their playstyle, giving them even more ways to dominate the battlefield.

How to Get Salvage

If you want to be able to craft plenty of items, you’re going to need to have plenty of Salvage saved up. Salvage can be earned several different ways, all of which require you to simply play the game. To break things down ever further, though. Salvage can be earned through ranking up in the specific Mission Team you are enlisted in, through Supply Drops, and by “burning” (or breaking down) any duplicate items that you receive from Supply Drops. You’ll also have chances to be rewarded with Salvage for daily login bonuses, so be sure to sign in everyday and play a few matches to increase your Salvage gains.

This new crafting system will open up tons of different ways for Call of Duty players to customize their weapons to their playstyle, and really allow them to take command of the battlefield. With Salvage, a new in-game currency, players can build Protoype versions of each base weapon, allowing them to unlock new perk combinations that will make them even more deadlier. If you followed the information we’ve outlined in this guide, you should now know how to craft weapons and how to get Salvage in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare.
