Firearms are wielded with the left hand, and employed in beast hunting.


Basic Information

  • As with primary weapons, you can equip two left-hand weapons at once, and you can swap between them by pressing LEFT. Usually, you'll use a gun in your left hand, but sometimes you may want a torch or shield. Left-hand weapons are also referred to as "off-hand weapons," "sidearms," and, in the case of guns, "firearms." Generally speaking, guns are a reliable form of ranged attack. Most of them scale with your bloodtinge stat. That said, different guns are effective at different ranges and tasks, and some even scale with arcane rather than bloodtinge.
  • A passive effect like hp recovery in your gun is active even if you are currently equipped two handed mode of any of your weapon.
  • In Bloodborne, the enemy bullets [image] have normally sized hitboxes but the player's bullets [image] have large hitboxes in comparison.
  • Beware: equipping your firearm with any elemental blood gem [arcane, bolt & fire] will prevent you from buffing your right hand weapon despite it being "buffable" [physical damage]
