[Top 5] Assassin's Creed Black Flag Best Pistols (And How To Get Them)

Shooting from distance becomes a hobby!


The tension increases as you see your enemy in the distance. He turns his head as he hears a creek. However, sees nothing. With your eye focused, you gaze on the gazelle, like a lion hunting its prey - you try to anticipate every movement you or your enemy will make - understanding wind velocity and the weapon you are holding in calibration for the recoil, you steady your arm. Take a deep breath. Get him in focus and pinch the trigger.

The gun makes a loud, Bang! 

The Assassin's Creed series has been built on creative damage equations that can not only entertain you - are you not entertained? - but also build up bone-numbing anticipation the more the story unfolds. Welcome to the best pistols in the Assassin's Creed Blag Flag arsenal. We will be discussing today how to get them and the secrets they possess to allow you to progress in the land of AC...

 

5. Standard Wheellock Pistols - Long-Range Weapon

''The most about these weapons is their ability to reach unbelievable ranges.''

Stats: 

  • Damage: 1
  • Stun: 1
  • Range: 5

With so many unbelievable weapons available to the players in the Assassin's Creed world, it has really been a struggle to choose the best but I have come up with my top five picks and it had to start with the Wheellock pistols. They are your everyday tools. Quick and easy to achieve. 

You can purchase them from the shop, The durability and steadfastness is really something to admire.

The part that sticks out the most about these weapons is their ability to reach unbelievable ranges.

However, the fact that their range is so long doesn’t mean that their damage can be that reliable. 

It normally takes two or three shots to get the necessary effect you require. So if you want to be a sniper then by all means do your thing. If you require your foe to be killed in one shot you might want to depend on something else. They are really cheap so being able to acquire them should be a cinch.

4. Pirate Blunderbusses - Multiple Enemy Killer


''My first shot took out three troops, the second, five! ''

Stats: 

  • Damage: 3
  • Stun: 3
  • Range: 1

Cruising from city to city in my ship I found myself in Kingston. I ran around a bit before getting in trouble with the law. All I did was rob a few people. Well, I refused to go down without a fight! Before I knew it I was being swarmed by troops. 

Do you know what I did?

I pulled out my trusty Pirate Blunderbusses - I had so much fun - they didn’t know what hit them. My first shot took out three troops, the second, five! This weapon is great when you need to eliminate multiple opponents in one go.

You can purchase these from the shop as well - they are very cheap so don’t waste any time!

3. Spanish Officer Pistols - Balanced Attack

''The gun gives you balanced attacks...''

Stats: 

  • Damage: 3
  • Stun: 3
  • Range: 3

This gun made me feel like a cowboy walking through the wilderness hunting for my enemy - a desperado with his trusted tool in his holster - this pistol is the best of both worlds. 

The gun gives you balanced attacks and allows whoever you are shooting to feel the wrath of a titan.

Although this gun doesn’t have any special features, it is definitely a tool you will require mid-game as the opponents get tougher. It is a simple but efficient upgrade from the Standard Wheellock Pistols.

This gun is expensive I won’t lie. You can however get it from the shop at any time to assist you with those contracts.

2. Cannon Barrel Pistols - Stunner

''I found one - shot him with this gun and he was stunned. ''

Stats: 

  • Damage: 3
  • Stun: 5
  • Range: 3

You know those old retro games, where you ended up hitting your opponent too much making him dizzy so you could hit him with a special while he was stunned. I kind of treated this weapon like that! I ran around Havana looking for some Templars I could attack because I wanted the templar keys. 

I found one - shot him with this gun and he was stunned. He didn’t know what was going on around him. Now before you laugh, I didn’t want to be a coward and kill him from a distance. So, I took out my Pistol Guns Swords and shot him at close range before slicing him up first, Captain. What do you think about that?

Pretty ballsy hey? 

I bought them from the shop and I must say what a lucrative investment. On a side note though, they are the most expensive guns in the game so just make sure you have enough moola in your pocket!

 

1. Golden Flintlock Pistols - Damage Increaser

''Defined. it can only be described as white and gold with a big bang!''

Stats: 

  • Damage: 5
  • Stun: 5
  • Range: 3

This is probably the best gun in the whole game! Defined. it can only be described as white and gold with a big bang!

You really have to go through a lot for these guns, but once you get them you will understand what the wait was all about. Good things take time…. 

When that saying was invented - they had these guns in mind.

You will be required to complete all your naval-based missions before you can actually get these weapons - they are famous for their precision - are extremely rare, so getting them is only for those of legendary status.

It has the ability to kill officers with one shot, isn’t that a lucrative deal in exchange for their souls? A quick death at the hands of a legendary Assassin! Sir Edward ‘’The Great’’ is what your avatar will be knighted as!
