There are plenty of monsters to take down in The Callisto Protocol, and only so many weapons to take them down with. Introducing the Skunk Gun, a powerful weapon with an odd name that can help even the odds early on, so long as the player knows where to look.

Where to Find The Skunk Gun Schematics

Weapon schematics are tucked away in all sorts of corners across the linear landscape of Callisto Protocol. To obtain the Skunk Gun schematics, the first step is to make it to the third mission in the game, Aftermath.

The level will eventually bring the player to a set piece that involves an elaborate elevator sequence leaving our protagonist, Jacob, in a machinery-filled basement covered with the usual production design players have grown accustomed to in this prison of horrors (blood, gore, general carnage, etc.). There are quite a few enemies lurking around, including a long-neck biting type that is likely to pop out for more than a few jump scares.

Directly on the right is a locked door powered by a fuse box with the fuse unfortunately missing. Instead of worrying about that, move around the space on the left and pass the D4 signs until coming head to head with a 4-on-1 battle.

After defeating them, the Gate Fuse should be readily obtainable. But rather than taking it to the gate that will proceed Jacob into the next area, backtrack to the elevator area. The aforementioned missing fuse can now be inserted to access that locked room. Enter the Basement Storage room and crawl through the space on the immediate left. The schematics are in the next workshop room, sitting on a desk on the left side.

What To Do With The Schematics

Now that the schematics are in the inventory, the Skunkworks Shotgun “Skunk Gun” can be built at a reforge station for 800 Callisto credits. It has an incredibly high damage stat making it one of the most powerful guns to obtain early on. Once built, the upgrading system for the Skunk Gun can now be accessed, making it even more powerful for players who are able to find a few more credits.

Of course, there are plenty of other weapons left to search for. There are also quite a few impressive ways to upgrade these weapons to make them truly pack a punch. But for now, the Skunk Gun will certainly help to make time in Callisto Protocol a bit more pleasant.

The Callisto Protocol is available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
