Best Upgrades for the Hunting Pistol
| Upgrade | Upgrade Priority |
|---|---|
| Stability | ★★★★ |
| 4x Scope | ★★☆☆ |
| Damage | ★★★☆ |
Upgrading the Stability of your Hunting Pistol is a must to improve the accuracy of this weapon. This will help you guarantee a kill with every shot you take, even at mid-range fights.
The second upgrade you would want to prioritize on the Hunting Pistol would be the Damage, as this can help you secure kills even if you miss landing your shots at the enemy weak points.
Lastly, investing in the 4x Scope will not be able to help much, since your other weapons work better in long-range fights, so this is the last upgrade you should get.
How to Use the Hunting Pistol
Similar to the Revolver, the Hunting Pistol has a slow fire rate, and creates an extremely loud sound when used. However, its powerful damage makes up for these drawbacks. The Hunting Pistol packs a strong punch with every shot, especially in mid to close-range fights.
The Hunting Pistol is best used when taking out solo targets because of its exceptional damage. Because of this, it can take out most enemies with one shot, even without aiming at their weak points.
How to Get the Hunting Pistol
