The Hunter Pistol is a Left Hand Weapon in Bloodborne.

Description[]

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.

Availability[]

Characteristics[]

This weapon fires Quicksilver Bullets and is used as tool for parrying and finishing off enemies with low health. Its rapid fire makes it more suitable for intercepting fast enemies than shotguns.

The Hunter Pistol is a versatile firearm commonly used by hunters. Although the Hunter Pistol doesn't quite have the firepower or stagger potential of the Hunter Blunderbuss (depends on range), it compensates for this problem by having a higher fire rate and longer range.

When compared with other pistol-sized firearms, it has the following characteristics:

  • Consumes only one bullet, like the Evelyn, yet unlike the Repeating Pistol (keep in mind that the Repeating Pistol also fires off two shots at once, whereas the Hunter Pistol only fires one).
  • Same range, firing speed, and Quicksilver bullet consumption as the Evelyn.
  • Better than the Evelyn at lower levels of Bloodtinge. After level 21 in that stat, the Evelyn becomes a straight upgrade in terms of damage.

Notes[]

Trivia[]

  • The Hunter Pistol, much like most weapons related to the Hunters, appear to be somewhat in disrepair, and to have wrappings of bandages, or other linen-like strips of cloth, around them.
  • In early footage, courtesy of IGN, ranged weapons (left hand) are shown as doing blood damage instead of physical damage like melee weapons. Like their melee counterparts they also have durability. In the IGN footage, the Hunter Pistol showed a blood damage of 75 and a durability of 180.
