Full Guide

What Foto 24 is

Foto 24 is a photo shop in Portofiro with a hidden extra room. The room contains scrap metal components and potentially other materials needed for crafting the improvised firearm.

Where to find it

Located in a commercial district, accessible after completing the Bootleg Bazaar lead. Look for the photo shop sign and check behind the counter for the extra room entrance.

What to collect

Community-reported materials include: scrap metal components, basic tools, and potentially electronic parts. Exact contents may vary by patch and route. Check thoroughly — some items are easy to miss.

The improvised gun route

1) Obtain The Wang Guide to Improvised Firearms Vol. 2. 2) Collect materials from Foto 24. 3) Pass a high Technoflex check. 4) Assemble the weapon. This route saves 100 Sol but requires more exploration.

Build requirements

High Technoflex (Intellect) is required. If your build lacks this skill, consider temporary boosts through items, Conditioning, or route order. Save before the craft attempt.

Common Mistakes

Entering Foto 24 without checking behind the counter.
Missing the extra room entrance.
Attempting the craft route with low Technoflex.
Not saving before the craft attempt.

FAQ

Is Foto 24 required for main story?

No, only for the improvised gun route and potentially other side content.

Can I miss the materials?

Community-reported: materials should be available whenever you visit, but some may be hidden behind checks.

What if my Technoflex is too low?

Use items, Conditioning, or route order to boost the skill temporarily. Or use the buy route instead (100 Sol from Goat Eyes).
