How to Get the Hunting Pistol

Found inside a Safe in the chapter, On Foot

Get the Hunting Pistol from the Warehouse Safe located to the right after leaving the warehouse where the ship is hanging in the chapter, On Foot.

How to Use the Hunting Pistol

Defeat enemies from a distance

The high-damage, long-range Hunting Pistol only has one round and cannot be fired in rapid succession. You'll be able to deal with enemies from afar but don't forget to still take cover since you'll have to reload often. Additionally, be mindful that the Hunting Pistol cannot be equipped with a silencer, so firing it will alert enemies to your presence.

Recommended against strong enemies

The Hunting Pistol's high damage makes it effective against strong enemies. Use it against durable foes like the Ground Zero boss. Its long range allows you to deal significant damage without getting close to the enemy.

Recommended Upgrades

Stability Upgrade

Since the Hunting Pistol requires reloading after each shot and ammunition is scarce, it is crucial to accurately hit your targets. Upgrading stability reduces hand tremors, making it easier to aim at enemies.

Damage Upgrade

The Hunting Pistol has extremely high power, making it effective against bosses and other strong enemies. Upgrade damage to make it even more effective for defeating tough foes. The Hunting Pistol will now also be able to defeat low-health enemies, such as humans or Runners, with a single body shot.
