In The Last Caretaker, unlocking weapons works like unlocking recipes. You need to first get the skill that lets you craft each gun. The Electric Pistol is one of the first guns you can unlock once you reach Level 3. It only costs one skill point, which makes it easy to acquire early on. In this guide, I will cover how to unlock the Electric Pistol in The Last Caretaker.
How to Unlock Electric Pistol in The Last Caretaker
Access the Skills menu from the game’s main screen and head over to the weapons tab. Find the Electric Pistol in the list, which unlocks at Level 3. Spend one skill point to unlock it.
Next, go to a crafting station or Fabricator in a safe area. Gather the materials:
- 1x Battery Cell
- 1x Alloy Frame
- 1x Connector Ports
- 1x Conduit Wiring
Put these items into the Fabricator and press “Craft.” After crafting, the Electric Pistol will appear in your inventory, ready to use.
How to Charge and Use Electric Pistol

To charge the Electric Pistol, connect a cable from the gun to any power source. You can use your own character if you have a power backpack equipped. This connection keeps the pistol powered up during fights.
The Electric Pistol attacks in a wide arc at close range, making it perfect for dealing with groups of small robots and other weaker enemies.
It works well as an early-game crowd control weapon until you unlock more advanced sidearms or main guns. Always keep an eye on your power supply to ensure your pistol stays charged.
