laser pistol

The pistol is engraved with watervine hemp and encircled in saltstone. On the grip is an image of a nomad and knight in saltstone. The knight is striking down the nomad.

Weapon Class: Pistol
Accuracy: High

Perfect

The laser pistol is a mid-tier pistol that has reasonably good penetration and damage potential. It is notable for being the lowest-tier pistol that is energy-powered and is the most accurate combat pistol.

Obtaining

The laser pistol can be:

• Found as guaranteed loot on the corpse on level 5 of the Asphalt Mines.
• Found as random loot in mid-tier or high-tier zones or occasionally equipped by random creatures.
  • mysterious gunslingers have a 25% chance of spawning with a laser pistol.
• Crafted with the Tinker II skill, after obtaining the required schematic.
• Disarmed from low-light laser turrets.
• Found held by Jacobo and Mafeo, but they will not part with it willingly.
• Obtained from important fish, a Patreon supporter pet, who will always have one.

Overloaded Variants

Versions of the laser pistol with the overloaded mod have a special place in item drop tables. As a result, overloaded laser pistols can be obtained as random loot in high-tier areas more frequently than you would find a laser pistol with other mods. An overloaded laser pistol can also be obtained as a faction heirloom during The First Council of Omonporch if the player's chosen faction has an heirloom type of pistols. Refer to the faction heirlooms page for details about the chance of obtaining it.

Additionally, the following NPCs and creatures are guaranteed to have one or more overloaded laser pistols in their inventory:

• graverobbers are guaranteed to carry one.
• Phinae Hoshaiah, High Priest of the Rock is guaranteed to have two.
• Q Girl is guaranteed to have two, but will not part with them willingly.

Trivia

• For much of the game's history, overloaded laser pistols were their own unique item distinct from laser pistols. They had →10 and dealt 1d10+23-12 (Avg: 7.5) damage. This changed in 2.0.201.110 (July 9, 2021) when overloaded was converted into a weapon modifier that can be applied to other weapons as well. This may explain why the overloaded variant of the laser pistol is still guaranteed to be held by many creatures and is still included in item drop tables.
• The laser pistol's description imitates the style of item description in Dwarf Fortress.
