So are we just gonna ignore HOW GP got his new arm?

"Despite receiving horrific injuries in the explosion, Gangplank survived. Sporting a multitude of fresh scars, and with a newly crafted metal arm to replace his amputated limb, he is now determined to rebuild his strength, reclaim what he sees as rightfully his, and ruthlessly punish all of those who turned against him."

Question... And this an important one... How did he get this? Did he always have a metal arm lying around? Did he have the doctor who cut off his old arm sew on the metal one? Did he take a damn dingy to Zaun and hold Viktor at gunpoint to make him it? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!

With the amount of violence in Bilgewater, they probably sell prosthetic limbs at convenience stores.

"Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology."

Well obviously if you're going to try and buy a Christmas present for the pirate who has already stolen everything you have to get creative.....

I'm sure you can get a lot things on the Bligewater black market

He probably stole the thing with brute force. I'd imagine his new item 3742 was obtained the same way.

Didnt the last part of burning tides was about how GP got patched up by a doctor? "He pulled something from the case, and threw it to the doctor’s feet. There, glinting under the lantern was the clean steel of a bonesaw." - burning tides epilogue.

Yea he didnt say he got his arm, just cut it off, but i dont think it's hard to believe he just got it from some illegal doctor work or something

Yea it's a little odd. I thought it'd be something that was looted and not crafted. Who knows what other black market goodies are laying around. Maybe modified to tolerate Gangplank's physical strength..

Maybe his artistic hobby of scrimshaw on 'live canvasses' brought about desperately summing up anatomy knowledge in assembling a mechanical limb ... but probably not without some assistance (the doctor). He seemed confident in losing his arm anyway.

I think its a subtle reference to Hextech Sion legacy skin. Where does Hextech come from? Zaun. A first generation Zaunite tech looted years ago, maybe?

He probably always wanted it attached, but is just now getting the perfect opportunity to >.>
