Avowed's Top 7 Unique Guns in 2026: From Ricochet Rifles to Vengeful Pistols
Avowed's best pistols and arquebuses in 2026 offer legendary power, from The Disappointer's surprising upgrades to Caeroc's Pride's devastating shock damage, essential for dominating any build.
Yo, fellow Watchers! 🎮 So you've stepped into the Living Lands of Avowed and you're tired of those common, run-of-the-mill firearms that barely scratch a Sporeling's hide? Let's get real—the real power fantasy lies in hunting down those legendary, unique guns. In 2026, with the game fully explored by the community, we know exactly which pieces are worth your blood, sweat, and skeyt. These aren't just weapons; they're personalities with a trigger. Some will have you cackling with glee as enemies fly across the screen, while others demand a bit of a grind or a hefty wallet. But trust me, each one is a game-changer for any marksman or gunslinger build looking to dominate the Shatterscarp or the eerie quiet of Galawain's Tusks. Buckle up, because we're about to dive deep into the seven unique pistols and arquebuses that define the meta. Forget the vendor trash—this is the good stuff.

The Disappointer: Don't Let the Name Fool You 🤡
First up, we have The Disappointer. Yeah, the name's a bit on the nose, innit? You can snag this pistol early from a... let's call him an 'entrepreneur' named Kerdhead "Cutty" Colen in Hightown's Philosopher's Alley. His shop, "Extremely Legal Goods," is about as subtle as a Sporeling in a china shop—it's the black market, folks. Pro-tip: you can even squeeze a tiny bribe out of him if you chat him up! This fine-quality piece will cost you 3,600 skeyt.
Now, why the gloomy name? Its starting enchantment is literally called "Terrible," slapping a -10% damage penalty on it. Oof. But here's the plot twist—this gun is playing the long con. You can upgrade that sad enchantment into something glorious. Choose Tender Love and Care to flip that penalty into a +10% damage boost, or go for Shared Misery to make your Power Attacks inflict a -10% damage debuff on all nearby enemies for 15 seconds. Its passive, Bleeding Lash, also adds a nice +10% bonus Bleed damage on hits. So, from zero to hero, this pistol teaches you not to judge a book by its cover—or a gun by its initial stats.
Caeroc's Pride: The Shock-and-Awe Specialist ⚡
Next, we head to Ondra's Reach for Caeroc's Pride. This bad boy isn't for sale; you gotta earn it by taking down Tempestuous Luandi, one of Dawnshore's bounty targets. She's no pushover, so make sure your gear is up to snuff before you tango. The reward? A pistol that absolutely shreds with Shock damage. Its passive, Distant Thunder, makes your power attacks build up Shock accumulation like nobody's business on a single target.
The fun doesn't stop there. You can upgrade it for crowd control with Thunder's Fall, turning those power attacks into an AoE shock party for all nearby enemies. Or, if you're feeling lucky, go for Wrath of the Storm. This gives you a 25% chance to cast Crackling Bolt—a level 5 Wizard spell that zaps between enemies and the environment, dealing massive Shock and Stun. It's like having a pocket storm. Perfect for any build leaning into elemental chaos.
One Last Trick: The Ricochet Kingpin 🔄
Welcome to Emerald Stair, where you'll get your hands on the first unique arquebus: One Last Trick. To earn this beauty, you need to help out the Rangers via the "Steel Resolve" quest. It involves some legwork and a moral choice involving Ranger Dorso (let's just say most players' trigger fingers get itchy). Your reward is a rifle with a slick +20% reload speed and its party trick: ricochet bullets.
The base Ricochet enchantment lets your shots bounce and hit one extra enemy. Upgrade it to Trick Shot, and you're hitting two additional targets. This makes it a sniper's dream for clearing groups from a distance. There's an alternative path with Incendiary Charge, which adds some Fire accumulation and a single bounce, but let's be honest—the ricochet is what makes this gun one-of-a-kind. It's pure, chaotic fun.

Fair Play: The Ultimate "Hold My Beer" Pistol 😤
Once you reach the Shatterscarp region and the settlement of Thirdborn, seek out the merchant Kampeki (just to the right of the main entrance). For the right price, he'll sell you Fair Play. This pistol has a very specific, very dramatic niche: it thrives on vengeance. Its Vengeful Shot passive automatically taunts any enemy that dares to incapacitate one of your companions. On top of that, you get a whopping +100% critical hit chance against that bully. Talk about holding a grudge!
It's also a solid survival tool. Killing an enemy with it restores 5% max health and 25% max stamina. The Turnabout upgrade doubles those numbers. But the real showstopper is the alternative enchantment, Equal Footing. This yoinks enemies right into melee range. Pair this with a massive two-handed weapon, and you've got a beautiful combo: pull 'em in and smash 'em. It's brutally efficient.
Izmalt's Meteoric Apparatus: The Personal Space Violator 💥
Also available from our friend Kampeki in Thirdborn (if you're flush with cash) is Izmalt's Meteoric Apparatus. Think of this unique arquebus as the game's honorary shotgun. It's built for close-quarters mayhem. Its Concussive Grudge passive means short-range power attacks deal high Stun and send enemies flying backward. There's nothing quite as satisfying as blasting a Kith raider point-blank and watching them tumble head over heels.
The Meteoric Burst enchantment adds low Fire accumulation to nearby foes. You can pump that up to moderate with Meteoric Devastation. However, the crown jewel is Lingering Inferno. Kill an enemy, and it leaves behind a burning zone that deals high Fire accumulation to anyone foolish enough to walk through it. For late-game areas packed with fire-weak enemies, this is your best friend. It turns corridors into cookouts.
Magic Mistol: Because Aiming is Overrated 😎
Venture into the far west of Galawain's Tusks, to the Slumbering Fields and the Ekidan Workshop. After some exploration, you'll find the Magic Mistol pistol tucked away in a chest. This weapon is... special. As a tribute to its namesake, its bullets are homing. That's right, the Foe-Seeker ability means your shots will curve to hit targets. You can practically fire from the hip and still land hits. It's the ultimate tool for when your aim is having an off day.
Its enchantments are top-tier. Infused Shot makes power attacks deal very high Stun, and since they always hit, you'll be setting up combos left and right. Upgrade to Unstable Shot for an AoE Stun effect on surrounding enemies. Or, if you want to become a speed demon, Pistoleer's Grace gives you a +50% Reload Speed for 10 seconds after a kill. The Magic Mistol isn't just a weapon; it's a vibe. It turns any Gunslinger build into an unstoppable force of nature.

Heavenstrike: The Pinnacle of Power ❄️
Finally, we have the granddaddy of them all: Heavenstrike. This isn't found or bought—it's forged. First, you need to craft Moonstrike at Solace Keep with Forgemaster Dela, using one of the four Starmetal Fragments hidden across the Living Lands. Then, invest another fragment to upgrade it to Heavenstrike. The stats jump significantly, dealing more damage and Stun. This arquebus is, without a doubt, the most powerful in the game as of 2026.
Its passive, Freezing Lash, adds bonus Frost damage on hits, slowing enemies to a crawl. The basic enchantment, Ondra's Scorn, makes power attacks apply moderate Frost accumulation to nearby foes. You can enhance this to high accumulation with Ondra's Anger. If you prefer a defensive edge, Lunar Champion gives you +5% Damage Reduction for 10 seconds after each kill. Versatile, devastating, and the culmination of a serious collection quest—Heavenstrike is the gun you build your entire late-game strategy around. It's worth every second spent hunting for those shiny Starmetal pieces.
Wrapping It Up 🎯
So there you have it, the seven unique guns that make Avowed's combat sing in 2026. From the deceptive starter Disappointer to the legendary Heavenstrike, each weapon offers a unique playstyle and requires different methods to obtain. Whether you're a sniper who loves geometry with One Last Trick, a vengeful protector with Fair Play, or an aim-free champion with Magic Mistol, there's a legendary firearm here with your name on it. The hunt is half the fun, so get out there, explore every corner, save your skeyt, and make those Power Attacks count. The Living Lands won't know what hit 'em! 🚀
