    Yeah, I know that. I'm just wondering if specific gun schematics can be found at specific places. All the gun shoppe in Tarant ever seems to sell is the bullets schematic!

    Well, the gun shop changes its bill of goods now and then. You could advance time to the next day, shop, advance time, et cetera.
    I can't recall any specific places besides that to get decent guns though.

    Get Expert training in Shrouded Hills from Doc Roberts.
    I don't think DEX has much to do with firing a gun. It's all about Skill and Perception.

    I think the Rifled Cannon or the High Bore Vendogrothian Rifle is the best weapons, I could be wrong tho

    yep thats the one. warbringer. its made with the vendorgroth rifle and the ancient gun chassie. its a hand gun too so you dont need to be strong and can use a sheild. its got a good speed aswell. you can make about 3 of them i believe.

    Gentlemen, I swear by the Tesla Gun. When you absolutely, positively have to kill every maggot-farmer in the room, look no further than this sizzling baby.

    It's damage - to my recollection - is 30-80 and, by the end of the game, I was getting off 3-4 good shots per round. Heeeee, they die like flies! The schematic can be bought at the larger city gun and tech shops - I believe I was offered it twice at Caladon and once in Tarant and its various components - including the Tesla Rod - all require their own junior level schematics but, again, you can find these at your local stores quite early on in the game.

    The Tesla eats batteries but the Tech shop in tarant sells them in quantaties of around 120-240 every day - and I still had around 800 left in my inventory as Kerghan and I returned from the Void to dispense unratable justice to all lifeforms larger than an amoeba.

    Anyways, with this sweetheart cradled under my arm I waltzed through the game at the Difficult level with Vollinger as my companion. And when I found that he was a Mollochean Hand assassin, well, he too found himself eating 40,000 joules of blue-hot static discharge - even though he was whining that he'd reformed.

    Ha! I spit on your Darloch's Warbinger! Pfui! Ha!

    But what's all this I hear about a Pyrotechnic Rifle....?

    Pyrotechnic rifle? You mean a flame thrower?
