Bringing a firearm to a sword fight is always a pleasure, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 offers a unique opportunity to do just that. The game's historical era allows the use of early firearms, which, though clunky and slow, deal devastating damage. However, acquiring them is not so simple. If you're looking for a way to get weapons in KCD 2, this guide will help you.
How to Unlock Firearms in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
The path to obtaining the first firearm begins with completing the quest "Perst Bozhyy" (Finger of God), which is part of the main storyline in the Trosky region. Until you complete this mission, firearms will be inaccessible, so it's important to advance through the storyline in this region.
In this mission, Godwin will lead you to a cemetery where you need to bury three bodies. If you don't have a shovel, one will be nearby. After completing the burials, Godwin introduces you to Hertl, a soldier who will teach you how to shoot. If you successfully complete the training, you will receive your first pistol — Handgonne. Then you will have to continue the storyline in Trosky to the end and move to the Kuttenberg region, where the game will continue, and you can purchase firearms yourself.
Where to Buy Guns in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
After unlocking the weapons, you can buy more advanced models from gunsmith Prokop Eldris, located in the Kuttenberg region. His shop is situated near the river, and the merchant offers a wide range of firearms and related accessories.
Entering the gunsmith's shop, open the purchase tab and browse the available weapons. Each pistol has its characteristics: differing in weight, power, and ease of use. Some models are heavier but deal more damage, while others are lighter and more convenient to carry. Choose the weapon that suits you and add it to the cart by pressing the interaction key.
How to Use Firearms in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Firearms are among the most powerful in the game, but their mechanics differ from swords, bows, or crossbows. To fire, equip the weapon through the inventory, press the right mouse button (RMB) to load it, and hold to aim. Move the camera to choose the target and press the left mouse button (LMB) to shoot.
Due to the low accuracy of these ancient pistols, they require careful aiming. They also have a very long reload time, making them unsuitable for fast-paced combat. It is best to use them as the first shot in battle, then switch to another melee weapon.
Frequent use of firearms leads to their wear, so it is necessary to repair them at a gunsmith or use a repair kit from time to time.
The Gunsmith in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
The gunsmith plays an important role in the game as he not only sells firearms but also offers repair, modification, and materials for crafting ammunition. The main gunsmith, Prokop Eldris, is located in Kuttenberg, near the Kaslav gates.
He sells three main types of firearms:
- Pistole – a basic pistol with medium damage and decent accuracy.
- Handgonne (hand cannon) – a heavy weapon with great shooting power but very slow reload.
- Hook Gun – a more advanced weapon combining power and ease of use.
In addition to weapons, you can buy ammunition like Lead Balls and Scattershot from the gunsmith. If you wish to make your own ammunition, you can purchase recipes for creating gunpowder from this merchant or other vendors.
How to Craft Ammunition in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
To craft ammunition, you will need an alchemical table and the necessary materials. Recipes for Lead Shot Gunpowder and Scattershot Gunpowder can be purchased at the Kuttenberg pharmacy or found while completing the quest "Via Argentum."
Recipe for Lead Shot Gunpowder:
- Use water as a base.
- Grind saltpeter and sulfur, add to the cauldron.
- Boil the mixture twice.
- Grind charcoal and add to the cauldron.
- Boil two more times.
- Pour into a mortar and grind with a pestle.
The Scattershot Gunpowder recipe is similar, but instead of regular charcoal, you use Infused Charcoal, and boil one extra time.
How to Trade with the Gunsmith of Firearms?
Firearms and ammunition are very expensive, but you can try to lower the price through trade. By selecting the "trade" option, you can offer a lower price or request a better sum when selling goods.
However, the success of trading depends on your reputation among sellers and residents of the region. If it's low, merchants may refuse to trade or even increase prices. To improve your reputation, complete tasks, trade honestly, and avoid committing crimes in the region.
Is It Worth Using Firearms?
Despite the high shooting power, firearms have significant drawbacks. The main issue is the slow reload, making them risky in close combat. Unlike bows and crossbows, they are also very inaccurate, requiring patience and the right position.
It's best to use firearms as the first shot in a battle, then switch to a sword or other melee weapon. An accurate shot can kill or seriously wound even a heavily armored enemy, giving you an advantage in the battle.
