Where to find guns in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 – Hand cannons and ammo guide
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is set in 15th-century Bohemia. It’s a time when gunpowder was an exotic material and firearms were but experimental weaponry mentioned in tall tales from faraway lands. Still, the awe-inspiring power of the gun, as seen in this game, is but a prelude to some of the darkest periods in our modern history.
The Finger of God quest
To get your first gun in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, you need to progress further into the campaign until you get a quest called Finger of God. After Godwin saves Henry and Hans at Nebekov Fortress, they have a chat to plan their next moves. As Henry, you need to follow Godwin so you can bury the dead. Once this is done, another soldier demonstrates a curious-looking contraption known as a Pistole–i.e. hand cannon. Henry can train with this weapon at the yard before the quest concludes.
Should you even use a gun?
This really depends on your playstyle and the situation at hand. Firearms are extremely inaccurate, more so than bows and crossbows. The reloading animation also takes an excruciating amount of time. However, a single well-placed shot to the torso of a knight wearing full plate armor is enough to put him down.
The idea is to have your gun reloaded and ready before combat. Then, when you do engage a foe in battle, look for the one with the sturdiest armor–i.e. basically the tank of the party. Aim and shoot to take them out permanently, and don’t bother to reload your firearm. Just switch to your melee weapon to take care of the other hostiles.
Where to find additional guns?
You can get more guns in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 by purchasing them from an NPC named Prokop Eldris. This fella can be found in the southeastern part of Kuttenberg, fairly close to one of the fast travel point.
Eldris’ wares include Hook Guns and Marksman’s Hook Guns, as well as Gunsmith kits and crafting supplies. He can also repair your firearms for a fee.
