Hunter Pistol ❘ 獣狩りの短銃	Left Hand Weapon

In-Game Description Pistol made at the workshop, for hunters stalking beasts. Hunter firearms are specially crafted to employ Quicksilver Bullets fused with the wielder's own blood, boosting damage against beasts. The pistol is a quicker draw than the blunderbuss, allowing for speedier responses to attacks. Note 1: The same in-game description in US & UK versions. ✓ Note 2: Original Japanese text on Original Japanese Item Index page. ✓ Overview A classic hand-crafted weapon employed by many hunters, the beast Hunter Pistol fires much more quickly than the blunderbuss, making it well-suited for counter-attacks and last-second blasts to stagger enemies, leaving them open to devastating Visceral Attacks. The Hunter Pistol is better than blunderbuss-type weapons at interrupting enemy attacks. It also deals better damage from range. Compared to the chief pistol alternative, the Evelyn, the Hunter Pistol has higher base damage but lower scaling. If your character has less than 20 bloodtinge, the Hunter Pistol is stronger than the Evelyn. At 21 points, they are equal in power. If your bloodtinge is 22 or higher, Evelyn is a better choice. Availability Treasure in (Main Story): Starting gift from messengers in Hunter's Dream Sold by: Bath Messengers [Hunter's Dream] Saw Hunter Badge: This badge is found in Aqueducts beside the Maneater Boar in Central Yharnam. In addition to unlocking the basic hunter weapons, this badge will make Throwing Knives and Beast Blood Cocktails available for sale, providing you with a backup source of ranged attacks and an extremely helpful means of distracting beast-type enemies.
