The Minuteman is the Tommy Gun-style submachine gun in The Sinking City 2, and it sits in a fixed spot rather than dropping from an enemy. You collect it from the flooded lower level of Devil’s Reef, and grabbing it does two things at once. You add the weapon to your arsenal, and you unlock a new crafting recipe.
Quick answer: Go to Devil’s Reef, drop to the basement level (-1F), wade through the flooded corridor to the Generator Room, and pick up The Minuteman from the metal table beside the red generator.
Where The Minuteman is located in Devil’s Reef
The weapon is tied to the Devil’s Reef area and specifically to its basement. On the map this is the -1F floor, and the exact room is the Generator Room. To reach it you pass through a dark, water-filled corridor and open a gated door, which puts you directly in the room that holds the pickup.

How to reach the Generator Room
The Mustard Gas recipe unlock
Collecting The Minuteman automatically unlocks the crafting recipe for Mustard Gas. You do not need to do anything extra beyond picking up the weapon. The moment it enters your inventory, the new recipe becomes available to craft.
The gun also carries an Empty Modification Slot, so you can attach an upgrade to it later. Its in-game description ties it to Franklin ‘Fussy’ Doyle, a figure fixated on proving himself, summed up by the line, “No amount of bullets is ever enough!”
How to confirm you got it
You know the pickup worked when The Minuteman appears in your weapon list and the “New Recipe” prompt for Mustard Gas shows up. From there, you can equip the submachine gun and fire it to verify it is ready for use. If the recipe does not appear, make sure you actually collected the weapon from the table rather than only walking past it.
