Handgun

Weapon · WeaponHandgun0

Sidearm carrying more rounds and a faster trigger than the Makeshift Handgun, so it puts out damage quicker.

Handgun is an early handgun: 22nd of 24 by attack, so treat it as a stepping stone, at 250 against the 1,500 of Old Revolver.

Nothing is crafted from it — it is an end product, so anything you make is meant to be used rather than banked as a component.

It does not stack, so every spare copy costs an inventory slot. At 19,800 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.

Handgun Crafting Recipe

Ingot×50

Work: 50000

Crafting it takes 65 materials across 2 types, and the bottleneck is almost always the 50× requirement — line that up first and the rest follows.

Where to Find Handgun

Handgun is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.

Every Tier of Handgun

The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: attack runs 250 to 625, a 2.5x swing. Which one you end up with is decided by the rarity of the schematic you built from, not by the recipe — so a legendary copy of this is worth more than the next item up built from a common one.

Ammunition Handgun Uses

Handgun fires Handgun Ammo, and nothing else — running dry mid-fight is the usual way this weapon lets you down, so keep the recipe unlocked before you rely on it.

Alternatives and Upgrades

Boost Gun matches it exactly at 250 attack — those two differ in what they resist and what they weigh, not in raw attack, so picking between them is a swap rather than an upgrade. The next real step is Makeshift Handgun at 320; below it is Marksman Revolver at 250.
