Animation of the Handgun.

The Handgun is a gun found in Locked Gold Chests in the Dungeon. It shoots rather quickly, although it does not autofire. It is superior in both damage and speed to the Flintlock Pistol.

The Dungeon will generally contain 1-2 Handguns. On the Desktop version Desktop version, Console version Console version, and Mobile version Mobile version, extras can renewably be obtained from opening Golden Lock Boxes found in Dungeon Crates.

Its best modifier is Unreal.

Notes

  • The internal code for generating dungeon chests fills chests with different items in order of their distance to the Dungeon's entrance, with the Handgun being the last item on the list before it starts over. As such, if a dungeon has more than 9 or 10 chests, one will always have the Handgun.

Tips

  • It is recommended to upgrade to Phoenix Blaster as soon as possible, as it gives !!Error: Invalid EICONS input! 4 / 7 additional damage, and increases its velocity by 3.
  • Since Hellstone can be obtained pre-boss (if the Reaver Shark is obtained early on), one can easily upgrade to the Phoenix Blaster.
