Best Guns in Nightingale

Discover the best guns in Nightingale, including the Webley Revolver, Porter Pistol, Éclair ‘Paradox’ Shotgun, and Winchester Rifle. Learn their stats, crafting recipes, and optimal uses.

This guide covers the best firearms available in Nightingale, categorizing them into Revolvers, Shotguns, and Rifles. Each section details their strengths, weaknesses, stats, and crafting requirements.

• Revolvers: Best for close-range combat, featuring a dodge ability.
• Shotguns: Ideal for mid-to-close range, offering high damage per shot but with low ammo capacity.
• Rifles: Suited for mid-to-long-range engagements, providing the highest damage per shot.

Best Revolver in Nightingale

Revolvers are best used if you prefer to stay close to enemies. For this reason, they come with a dodge ability but lose range and damage for this convenience. After thorough testing, the Webley Revolver edges ahead of the Porter Pistol, but on bosses/enemies with larger weak points, the Porter will deal a bit more. Both are great weapons, and you can’t go wrong with either. Both of these weapons were crafted with Pursuit Ingots and Tier 5 Swamp Wood.

The Webley Revolver will deal the most damage per shot for a handgun.

Webley Revolver

Porter Pistol

Although the Porter Pistol has less overall damage as well as a lower critical damage modifier, it has a huge magazine, which means more shooting, and less reloading. Also, when you use the ‘V’ ability, the Porter will fire out more bullets, which is great against enemies with larger hitboxes. The Webley will outperform the Porter nine out of ten times, but the Porter Pistol is a remarkable weapon and well worth having, especially if you switch between the two.

Best Shotgun in Nightingale

Shotguns are best used in the mid-to-close range. Unlike Revolvers, these do not come with a dodge, but they have higher damage per shot to make up for it. This is often offset by low ammo. The Éclair ‘Paradox’ Shotgun is the best shotgun in the game offering unrivaled power. It has the highest damage per bullet than any other weapon in the game; unfortunately, it only has two bullets before you need to reload.
