Pistol

The first firearm tier becomes purchasable after reaching Forest Island.

• Available at: Forest Island
• Observed price: $50

Single-shot firearm with a 25-damage starting value in the extracted weapon component.

• Base damage: 25 per shot
• Magazine: 10 rounds
• Extended magazine: 17 rounds
• Extended magazine cost: $90
• A practical first attachment platform because its ammunition is easier to budget than late-game weapons.

The weapon component stores thirteen damage states. The first cost is zero because it represents the base state; each following amount is the cost attached to that upgraded state.

• Damage: 25 → 28 → 30 → 33 → 35 → 40 → 45 → 50 → 55 → 60 → 100 → 130 → 160
• State costs: $0 → $15 → $25 → $35 → $150 → $250 → $300 → $1,500 → $1,920 → $2,560 → $4,700 → $6,300 → $9,100

Attachment compatibility and stock change by weapon and island. These are the effects shown by the in-game attachment descriptions.

• Compensator — moderately reduces recoil.
• Suppressor — significantly reduces recoil.
• Extended Mag — increases the number of rounds in the magazine.
• Laser Sight — shows where the weapon is pointing and makes hipfire easier.
• Red Dot Sight — makes targets easier to hit while aiming.
• Sniper Scope — makes distant targets easier to hit while aiming.
• Iron Sight — removes the currently attached sight.

Use the pistol when control matters more than burst damage. It is well suited to ordinary catches and learning how targets move around the boat.

• Fire deliberately instead of emptying a magazine.
• Create a clear background for trick shots.
• Move to a heavier option for large bosses if fights drag on.

Use one eligible firearm with a non-default optic, at least one damage upgrade, a muzzle attachment, laser sight and extended magazine. All five conditions must be active for Fully equipped.
