The Blunderbuss is one of the Demolitionist's tier 4 weapons. It is a handheld cannon that utilizes a flintlock mechanism to fire explosive Cannonballs with the primary fire or Shrapnel with the alt-fire. As a part of multi-perk weapon system Blunderbuss also belong to the arsenal of Support.

If player will hold fire button after firing, the Cannonball will not explode right after hitting surface or a ZED but instead will roll and eventually stop, staying on the ground until player release the button causing explosion. Otherwise it acts similar to other grenade launchers such as M79 having its projectiles explode on impact.

Its alternative mode will act like a shotgun, spawning multiple Shrapnel pellets capable of piercing through weak ZEDs. Each pellet will bounce off of the surface two times.

Blunderbuss is a DLC weapon. In offline solo play this weapon is only available for players purchased it from the in-game store or owners of Armory Season Pass, however should the player owning this weapon join the public server it is become available to everyone as a shared content.

Notes

  • In PC version of the game, for testing purposes players may acquire this weapon by typing following cheat commands in console while in solo play:
    • EnableCheats
    • GiveWeapon KFGameContent.KFWeap_Pistol_Blunderbuss
  • Holding fire button will cause Cannonball to roll after hitting surface or a ZED, eventually stop and stay on the ground until button released. Once so the Cannonball will explode. Switching weapons while holding fire button will also detonate its static projectiles.
  • Cannonball explosion does 50% of its (unmodified by perk bonuses) damage to player, damage is further decreased by difficulty modifier and proximity percentage.
  • Shrapnel does not get damage bonus from Demolitionist's High Impact Rounds skill (Cannonball impact, does get it, however). Shrapnel (and Cannonballs too) gets damage bonus rom Armor Piercing Rounds skill when hitting ZED's critical spots. Both getting damage bonus from passive and Bombardier skill.
  • Cannonballs have formal radius of 0 and will only collide with ZED's hitzones but not with their collision cylinders like most Ballistic-Explosive projectiles do.
  • Damage type group: Ballistic_Shell, Explosive, Piercing.
