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.

Notes

  • Available for purchase after obtaining Saw Hunter Badge.
  • In-game description is slightly different for Hunter Pistol +0 than for the rest reinforcements. This is due to the fact that weapons in Bloodborne have separate text data for each reinforcement level.[image]
  • You can find concept art of the Hunter Pistol in Bloodborne Official Artworks, on page 230.
