The modding community has made the Forgotten Realms in Baldur's Gate 3 even more perilous. In addition to the threat of magic-wielding NPCs, players now have to watch out for gunfire. According to an IGN report, Palmaman33, a Neux Modder, has released several mods featuring modern firearms like the Glock 19, AKM, and others. These guns can be equipped by any member of the player's party and are highly destructive.
The Baldur's Gate 3 community finds it hilarious that Astarion is portrayed carrying a fully loaded weapon in the game. In the thumbnails for the file, it appears as though Astarion is offering a giant gun to the player. Players have taken to X/Twitter to express their amusement and disbelief at the idea of certain party members having guns. One user humorously asked, "Who gave this guy a f****ng gun I can't breathe." Meanwhile, other players have suggested that characters like Gortash might be more suited to wield a gun instead.

Editor's P/S
As a long-time fan of the Baldur's Gate series, I am thrilled to see the modding community taking the game to new heights. The introduction of firearms through mods adds an exciting and unexpected twist to the classic Dungeons & Dragons setting. Imagining Astarion, the charming vampire spawn, wielding a Glock 19 is both hilarious and intriguing. It's a testament to the game's versatility and the creativity of its modding community.
While the idea of guns in Baldur's Gate may seem like an anachronism, it's important to remember that mods are all about experimentation and having fun. The beauty of modding is that it allows players to customize their gaming experience and explore different possibilities. Whether it's adding firearms, new character classes, or even entirely new storylines, mods breathe new life into games and keep them fresh for dedicated fans. I can't wait to see what other surprises the modding community has in store for Baldur's Gate 3.
