Windrose Plague Pistol Guide
If you are looking to greatly increase your survivability and damage output, the Plague Pistol is an exceptional choice! Operating as an Epic-tier ranged weapon, it provides incredible health sustain and is a perfect fit for high-Precision character builds.
Here is a friendly, step-by-step guide on how to find, utilize, and upgrade this powerful firearm.
How to Find the Plague Pistol
Unlike many other weapons in Windrose, the Plague Pistol cannot be crafted directly from a blueprint. Instead, you will need to find it out in the world:
- Location: Travel to the Cursed Swamps biome.
- Where to Look: Search thoroughly through the chests and containers inside local crypts and ancient ruins.
Weapon Stats & The Lifesteal Perk
The Plague Pistol scales aggressively with your Precision stat and features a fantastic baseline toolkit designed to keep you healthy in the middle of a fight:
- Base Attack: 100
- Pierce Damage: 400
- Lifesteal Passive: Restores a massive 40% of all damage dealt directly back to you as health. This makes it an incredibly safe portable healing tool during tough encounters.
Upgrade Requirements
To maximize the potential of your pistol, you can upgrade it at a Weaponsmith Workshop. The material costs are split into two major phases:
Early Levels (Levels 1–5)
- 10x Wood
- 3x Copper Ingots
- 5x Ingot Arborium
Advanced Levels (Level 6 and Beyond)
To push the weapon past level five, you will first need to upgrade your workshop with an Anvil and Master's Tools. Once those are placed, you will need:
- Hardwood
- Foothills Iron Ingots
Disassembly Yields
If you ever decide to change up your character build or want to recycle your resources, you can safely break the pistol down at a Disassembly Table. Scrapping it will refund your exact early-level investment:
- 10x Wood
- 3x Copper Ingots
- 5x Ingot Arborium.
