Arms dealer trading and rapid sidearm shooting
Purchased from the Arms Dealer for five gold coins once he has moved into town, the Flintlock Pistol is an accessible semi-automatic firearm. Firing at a Very fast rate, it discharges Musket Ball rounds that deal 13 base ranged damage alongside an elevated 10% critical strike chance. Its brisk cycling provides steady firepower for players who have not yet raided corruption or crimson chasms.
Sidearm comparison and early ranged loadouts
Although it possesses lower base damage per bullet than The Undertaker and the hard-hitting Musket, the Flintlock Pistol fires rapidly with a brisk 16 use time. It bridges the gap before players can afford the expensive Minishark or explore deeper underground biomes. Reforging to the Unreal modifier provides the best enhancements to damage, bullet speed, critical strike chance, and knockback.
Trivia
- The Flintlock Pistol can be acquired without breaking any Shadow Orbs or Crimson Hearts in the world.
- Its rapid rate of fire makes it useful for testing different specialty ammunition types.
