Arquebuses are some of the most destructive long-range weapons in Avowed, causing immense damage and stunning effects on foes. While they perform excellently in combat, their slow fire rate and explosive shots are also drawbacks, maybe revealing your location to surrounding enemies. This guide provides in-depth information about each unique arquebus in the game and how to obtain them.
How to Get All Unique Arquebuses
Arquebuses in Avowed are high-damage, long-range weapons that stun enemies and are very effective in combat. They have trade-offs, though, like a slow rate of fire and loud shots that will alert enemies nearby. Certain special arquebuses have special abilities and enchantments that make them even more deadly and useful for various playstyles.
One Last Trick
- Damage: 205
- Stun: 196
- Stamina: 25
- Crit.: 3%
- Enchantment: Ricochet (Bullets bounce to hit an additional enemy within range), Gunnery (+20% Reload Speed)
One Last Trick is a special arquebus hidden in a locked safe inside the Grand Council Chamber of Paradis. It was once owned by an outlawed noble who relied on it as a clandestine ace while dueling at high stakes. Renowned for winning battles with a single dashing blow, this gun is perfect for players who love precision and efficiency in combat.
This arquebus has three major benefits. Instant Reload guarantees that a killing shot immediately reloads the weapon, making it possible to use in continuous bursts. High Damage Output also makes it far more potent than normal arquebuses. Silent Shot lastly minimizes its noise of firing, and it is a perfect weapon for stealthy players and assassins who can quietly dispose of enemies without alerting others.
Izmalt’s Meteoric Apparatus
- Damage: 226
- Stun: 196
- Stamina: 25
- Crit.: 3%
- Enchantment: Meteoric Burst (Killing an enemy deals low Fire Accumulation to nearby enemies), Concussive (Short-range Power Attacks deal high Stun and knock enemies back)
Izmalt’s Meteoric Apparatus is an arquebus available for purchase from Kampeki in the Fish in a Barrel shop in Thirdborn, Shatterscarp. The ambitious wizard Izmalt forged it by trying to combine arcane magic with firearms. A catastrophic misfire while dueling with the archmage Citzal left a shard of his soul stuck within the gun, imbuing it with blazing magic. This weapon has special abilities that suit aggressive playstyles.
Moonstrike
- Damage: 308
- Stun: 280
- Stamina: 25
- Crit.: 3%
- Enchantment: Ondra’s Scorn (Power Attacks deal moderate Frost Accumulation to nearby enemies), Freezing Lash (Hits deal +10% bonus Frost Damage)
Moonstrike is an expertly forged arquebus forged out of starmetal, a material that is notoriously hard to forge into an effective firearm. Awarded by Forgemaster Dela in the Main Hall of Solace Keep after donating a Fragment of Starmetal, this gun vibrates with stardust energy.
It has colossal power, outputting 308 base damage, one of the highest in the game, and applies a colossal 280-stun damage. Coupled with its deadliness, Moonstrike’s bullets have a cold effect, slowing down enemies upon impact. This makes it the ideal weapon for players who want a high-damage, long-range gun with a cold touch.
