I tried so many different websites to try and find all 8 pieces of the pistol... but I was really having a hard time finding a good article. Which is why I decided to just make my own.

Gun Piece One - The Barrel

South of the Main Cannibal Village, right at the edge of the cliff. I don't know why it took me so long to find it myself, my best advice is to just go the cliff. There is no point looking for it mid-forest... which I may have done for a while myself.

If you need dynamite, there are some in the main cannibal village in one of the huts. Needless to say... Beware of Cannibals.

Gun Piece Two - SidePlate

Behind the sacred tree at the very end of the cliff. Probably one of the easier pieces to find... although it can be a bit of a jog.

Gun Piece Three - The Ramrod

Inside one of the Cannibal Huts at Lakeside Village.

Gun Piece Four - The Cock

Next to the beach hut village in the sand of the beach. Also an easy one to find.

Gun Piece Five - The Trigger

Right next to Geese Lake. On the higher ground of Geese Lake.

Gun Piece Six - The Spring

It's on one of the Islands near the shipping containers. Beware of the Shark.

Gun Piece Seven - The Flint

Up North in the Snowy Mountain. You will probably want a warm deerskin jacket.

It's ever so slightly South East of Snow Lake. However, since this one took so long for me to find... here is another map of just it's location. The rock itself isn't covered in snow, which helps to find it.

Gun Piece Eight - The Hammer

At the top left corner of the map... however this is misleading because when you get to the area, it's actually a bit south to the literal top left corner of the map. It's not in a snowy area and you don't have to swim to it, it's on a cliff near the beach village.

So if you are having trouble finding it like I was, first go to the Beach Village then go Northeast until you hit the snowy area. If you pass into the snowy area... you have gone too far. Once you find the pond you have pretty much found it. At this point go slightly Southwest towards the cliff; once you look down from the cliff it's easy to spot.

Once you have all 8 pieces!

The gun itself is very easy to assemble. Just put it all together in your inventory. However, finding some more ammo might be the tricky part.

Some locations where you can find some more ammo are Cave 3, Cave 5 and Cave 9. There is also some ammo with the Modern Bow in Cave 7... but if you want to go get it there, you should make sure you bring lots of supplies because it is a difficult location to get to.

The old gun does do a decent amount of damage but since it is a flint lock weapon, it means that you have to reload every time you use it. This pause between shots make it a lot less useful than I was hoping it would be. With that said, it can still be very useful since you can hold a lot of ammo for it at one time.

Hello. Nice to meet you! How are you? Hmm... this feels like a really once-sided conversation... why don't you follow me on social media so I can get to know you, too?!
