Gunsmith was an event during summer 2023. It allowed players to make a completely custom gun, meaning they could swap the base weapon and all 4 talents individually at any time.
Players started with a random specialized weapon with a random T1 talent, and could upgrade the rarity of the gun by doing rightful damage with it. They could also reroll the base weapon and the talents using Gunsmith Points, that were earned by "reconstructing" ascended+ items, which was an alternative to deconstructing that gave GSP (Gunsmith Points) instead of IC (Inventory Credits). Gunsmith Points could also be earned via dailies and other methods.
Gunsmith v1 began on July 7th, 2023.
All players were given a trade-locked Specialized weapon with 2 random talents, and the DMG/MAG/ACC stats at minimum for that rarity.
Gunsmith v2 began on July 28th, 2024.
Just like v1, all players were given a trade-locked Specialized weapon.
The prefix order is as follows:
1. Atomic (Specialized)
2. Collapsing (Superior) - 10k damage
3. Protostar (High-End) - 20k damage
4. Nova (Ascended) - 40k damage
5. Quasar (Cosmic) - 80k damage
6. Singularity (Planetary) - 100k damage
7. Heat Death (Intergalactic) - 200k damage
This year's gunsmith also introduced a "talent tree" system.
Special non-global talents are able to be unlocked using raw Gunsmith points.
The trees are as follows (credit to Solomon/Spyer):
