Gun shop operation

This mod allows you to buy and run a gun shop!

Gunsmith Business

🎯 Module introduction

The Gunsmith Business mod lets you buy and run your own gun shop in the world of Red Dead Redemption 2! Experience all the joys of owning your own shop: run supply deliveries, fend off bandit attacks, keep an eye on your shop's reputation, set prices and wages, or just let it go and come back regularly to collect your profits!

🏪 Start business

After installing the mod, you can purchase gun shops in the following locations: Valentine, Annesburg, Saint Denis, Rhodes, and Tumbleweed. After saving enough money, go to the location of your choice and buy a store (note: you can only own one store at a time).

When you enter the purchased firearms store, the business interface will be displayed in the upper right corner:

• Top number: your regular funds at that location
• Middle number: store budget (generated by the store and used to cover daily expenses)
• Progress bar: current inventory status (red means the inventory is empty)

📦 Supply system

To order supplies, enter the "Supplies->Order Supplies" menu to select a supplier:

A random supply wagon icon will appear on the map, go to that location and drive the wagon back to your gun shop. Note: Depending on the store's reputation, you may encounter enemy attacks on the road!

💼 Store Management

After successfully delivering supplies, your inventory is replenished, and you're ready to open your store! Just click the "Open Store" button and hold down the prompt (you cannot open a store when the inventory is zero).

In the Admin tab, you can adjust product prices and employee wages (note: these settings affect store reputation and sales rate!). Starting from version 0.3.1, the sales rate also depends on the store location. Stores in urban areas (such as Saint Denis) will sell faster than stores in remote areas (such as Tumbleweed).

⚙️ Upgrades and Inventory Limitations

Inventory limits have been introduced since version 0.2.5, and inventory capacity can be expanded through the corresponding options in the upgrade menu. There are multiple tiers of storage upgrades to provide you with long-term goals.

Version 0.3.1 adds more upgrade options:

• **Accommodation Upgrade**: Unlock a hotel room connected to the gun shop (Tumbleweed and Annesburg only)
• **EXTENDED OPEN**: Make gun shops accessible during non-working hours (midnight to 6am)
• **Carriage upgrade**: Provide players with a private carriage, which will be used for export missions later.

📊 Detailed explanation of the interface

**Reputation System**: Similar to the honor system, providing a variety of products, reasonable pricing, and treating employees well will increase reputation, and vice versa will decrease it.

**Information Panel**: Displays all manageable information, including daily expenses, salary settings, price settings, etc.

**Inventory Area**: In addition to the current inventory, other content is still under development.

📈 Influencing factors

The following variables affect inventory sales and replenishment:

• Current reputation level
• Employee salary levels
• Product pricing strategy
• Diversity of product categories

⚙️ Configuration file

Starting from version 0.2.5, the module includes a complete INI configuration file, allowing you to fully customize parameters such as weapon price, multiplier, etc.
