LOTR Gun Guide: How to Find It!

LOTR Gun Guide: How to Find It!

The first time I saw someone dual-wielding guns in LORT, I laughed. Then they vaporized a boss in seconds, and I stopped laughing. Now, the gun is my go-to weapon regardless of my character build because frankly, it’s overpowered.

The catch? You won’t find it lying around initially. The gun only enters the loot pool after you complete a specific, somewhat obscure, achievement. Here’s how to get your hands on it and start terrorizing your enemies.

Grave Expectations: Acquiring the Gun in LORT

I remember seeing a streamer rage-quit because they couldn’t find a decent weapon. Funny thing is, the best one is hidden in plain sight. Almost every weapon in LORT is initially unavailable. To get the gun, you have to find it first, which, admittedly, is a bit of a chicken-and-egg situation since LORT’s map is… let’s just say “unconventional.”

The gun always spawns on the grave shown above – consider it a hidden Easter egg. After you grab it the first time, it’s added to your potential loot drops. It doesn’t matter whether you favor melee or ranged combat; anyone can wield it. But let’s be honest, it feels extra lethal in the hands of a character built for distance.

Is there a specific level where the gun spawns in LORT?

No, the gun’s location isn’t tied to a specific level. Think of the game as one giant escape room. The grave is always in the same spot (see image above), but finding that spot is the challenge. Once you’ve located the grave and picked up the weapon, it will be added to the random loot pool for all subsequent runs, regardless of the level.

From Grave to God-Tier: Obtaining the Gun Regularly

I’ve noticed some players get frustrated thinking the gun is a guaranteed drop after the initial find. Not quite. After you’ve gotten the gun once, it becomes part of the random loot table, similar to how items rotate in and out of the Fortnite item shop. It might appear in chests you open with gold or drop from enemies.

Generally, tougher enemies have a higher chance of dropping weapon items. So, prioritize taking down those mini-bosses if you’re hunting for it. Keep in mind that, ultimately, getting it is a gamble. Even with meticulous planning and execution, the fickle mistress of chance will determine whether the gun appears. Your run in LORT, then, is something like the universe: mostly chaos, partially controlled.

What stats should I prioritize to increase my chances of finding the gun?

There’s no stat in LORT that directly increases your chance of finding the gun. The weapon drop system feels more weighted toward enemy difficulty and the number of chests you open. So, instead of focusing on specific stats, optimize your build for clearing rooms quickly and defeating tougher enemies. Think of your character as an investment fund: diversify your skills, manage risk, and pray for high returns.

Can you increase your luck stat in LORT?

Ah, the million-dollar question. While LORT doesn’t have an explicit “Luck” stat, certain items or abilities might subtly influence your chances of finding rare loot. Some players swear by equipping specific trinkets before opening chests, but whether that’s placebo or not is hard to say. Experiment, see what works for you, and don’t be afraid to embrace a little superstition along the way.
