5e Modern Weapons

This list of homebrew content includes modern weapons made on D&D Wiki for 5e. "Modern weapons" wouldn't be possible before the early 1900s of the real world, up to weaponry that would be possible in modern reality. This section could include automatic weapons, nuclear devices, electricity, and computerized weaponry, among other possibilities. Simple firearms like muskets might be considered renaissance weapons instead, while weapons incorporating more advanced technology would be instead categorized as futuristic.

This list excludes magic weapons and any pages with maintenance templates.

The weapons herein are so far beyond the technology of a typical D&D campaign that costs are not shown. These weapons should usually be treated as rare and priceless as magic items, but in specific campaigns these items may be considered "mundane" and have relevant costs listed. Common weapons are equal to or weaker than the automatic pistol
