If you've ever done a pokemon nuzlocke, you know the basic rules. If a pokemon faints, it dies, and you can only catch the first pokemon you find in each route.

You've also (hopefully) beaten or at least have experience in ITR, and may want a way to spice up the game since it may start feeling a bit too easy, or routine. That's what THIS is for! It mixes the gameplay and mechanics of Into the Radius with the Nuzlocke challenge, and THIS is how to replicate this challenge in a new playthrough!

The Beginning:

  1. A save file must be set to Iron man. Normal, realistic, or custom, you NEED to use Iron man mode. Sleep healing HAS to be disabled.

  2. Additionally, you could use the Scavenger mod to restrict the shop, but it is recommended to do this challenge completely or mostly vanilla.

  3. Sell any guns you get at the beginning of a save, keep the knife, you may need it to survive getting your first gun. The knife is a back-up weapon and is not affected by the rules of the Gunlocke.

  4. Explore Perovmay until you find your first RANDOM DROP gun, you cannot use stashes. This is the only gun you may use until you find one in another area.

5: The goal is to beat the main story, there are no other side objectives you NEED to pursue.

The Rules:

  1. If you run out of usable guns, that save file must be wiped and you have to restart the challenge from the beginning.

  2. You may only use the first random drop gun you find in each area.

  3. You cannot buy guns from the shop, but you can buy anything else including attachments, upgrades, and ammo.

  4. (Optional) To make it more challenging, you may only allow yourself a limited amount of heals or field repairs out in the field.

  5. If you die with a gun, you may sell it, store it, or just drop it somewhere, but you CANNOT take it back out into the radius.

==

Last but not least, clauses such as duplicate clause or any you may decide on to make the challenge more enjoyable are fair game. Have fun!

#

Consumable weapons such as grenades are also not affected by the rules of the gunlocke unless you personally decide otherwise.

#

Personally, I'd recommend a caliber clause, as in, if you find a gun of the exact same ammo type/caliber, you're allowed to search for another weapon

i mean you can use them but you can't use the guns you get out of them unless it's the first gun you come across in said area

you can grab the ammo and supplies and shit but not the gun
