Arquebus – The Revolution Begins
Smoke, thunder, and steel. The Arquebus is a revolutionary musket-like firearm inspired by the earliest gunpowder weapons to appear during the late medieval age.
It may feel a little ahead of its time, and perhaps a bit overpowered, but every revolution needs its edge. This weapon fires metal balls capable of delivering devastating force, bringing the roar of black powder to a world ruled by bows and blades. You may encounter Arquebuses for sale from traveling caravans. With a bit of luck, you might even loot one from a fallen enemy, or, if you have access to a truly talented smith, have one crafted for yourself.
The quiet age of arrows is ending.
Viva la revolucion.

If the mod works well for you, will accept counter-strike skins if you’re feeling generous 😛
I am finally comfortable enough with this to release it, but primarily made this mod for my own use, so keep that in mind. I will entertain good ideas and will listen to the community from time to time, but won’t make changes I don’t want to see in my own game.
I replaced the Cassian Crossbow so idk how that’s gonna affect Cassians because I’m not there yet, I haven’t beaten the game. They might all have guns now xD
You can craft it at the toolmaker. It costs 2 steel ingot 1 hardwood plank 2 iron ingots, subject to change
You can also make a pouch which can hold 150 bullets at toolmaker
Also, you can make the bullets. It costs linen, charcoal and iron ingot.
At a blacksmith, you can make the rifled minie balls, which penetrate armor better and inflict more damage than regular iron balls
Caravan traders also sometimes carry the Arquebus, 25%. It’s like 8200 gold though.
I think I may have had some ranged enemies have a small chance of dropping them, too. Maybe in some chests, I forget.
Some enemies will not die in one hit, unless headshotted, although some can tank a bullet to the face. Will have to tune as I play. The bullet has real ballistics and is not hitscan.
Note: I do not troubleshoot peoples mod conflicts; it works in my game, and as such should work on a vanilla game. Is fully-compatible with existing saves.
I am aware of a bug where sometimes the gun seems to "jam" when reloading while running. Happens once in a while. Treat it as a feature. 😛 I added mobility during reload for this. Sometimes you need to stop and try to reload stationarily for a second or two then try reloading again. I don’t see an immediate complete fix for this and have spent a significant amount of time improving it.
