11Overview22The Bismuth Cannon is a ranged weapon in Crimson Desert. It is classified as a hand cannon. With a base Attack Power of 20, it is the most powerful standard hand cannon available, surpassing even the Alpha Barrel Cannon (19 ATK). The Bismuth Cannon trades all critical hit bonus for raw power: its Critical Hit Chance sits at Level 0, meaning every point of its damage comes from guaranteed base attack rather than luck-dependent crits.55The weapon's name references Bismutha rare mineral found in specific locations across Pywel. Bismuth Ore is a sought-after crafting material, and its use in the cannon's construction reflects the weapon's high-tier status. Players who have invested in mining and resource gathering will find the Bismuth Cannon a worthwhile payoff for their efforts.77Stats99AttributeValueWeapon TypeRanged (Hand Cannon)Attack Power20Defense0Attack SpeedLevel 0Movement SpeedLevel 0Critical Hit ChanceLevel 0Abyss Core Slots5RarityNon-Unique1111Stats1212The following stats are.1414AttributeValueWeapon TypeCannonCategoryRanged WeaponGradeRare+Base Attack16Price1068 Silver Coins1616Enhancement Levels1717LevelAttack+016+118+220+322+424+526+629+732+835+938+10431919How to Obtain2020The Bismuth Cannon can be crafted at a Blacksmith. The recipe requires reading the appropriate Ranged Weapons of the World crafting manual for hand cannons. As a higher-tier weapon, the crafting materials likely include Bismuth Ore alongside standard metals like Iron Ore.2222Bismuth Ore can be mined from deposits found primarily in The Witchwoods area of Hernandwhere four deposits sit close together, yielding up to 12 Bismuth Ore per run. An additional deposit is located northeast of Hernand Castle, across the river. To mine Bismuth, approach the deposit, generate electricity using the appropriate input, discharge it toward the deposit, and then strike the spot where the electric field made contact.2424Refinement and Upgrades2626The Bismuth Cannon can be refined at a Blacksmith to further increase its already-high Attack Power. With 5 Abyss Core slots, players have flexibility in customization. Since the weapon has no built-in Critical Hit Chance, players can either slot critical chance cores to add crit potential, or double down on raw damage and stagger with power-boosting cores. A fully refined Bismuth Cannon is one of the hardest-hitting ranged options in the game.2828Combat Tips3030The Bismuth Cannon's 20 Attack Power means each charged shot hits extremely hard, making it ideal for opening engagements against bosses and elite enemies. Because it lacks a critical bonus, the damage is consistent rather than spikey; every shot will hit for roughly the same amount, which makes it easier to plan around. This predictability is valuable when timing shots to break specific boss mechanics or interrupt charging attacks.3232For players who prefer a crit-oriented approach with their hand cannon, the Alpha Barrel Cannon offers slightly less base damage (19 ATK) but includes a Level 1 Critical Hit Chance bonus. The choice between the two comes down to whether you prefer consistent high damage or occasional critical spikes.3434Bismuth Ore Farming3636Since the Bismuth Cannon likely requires Bismuth Ore to craft, here are the best farming locations3838The Witchwoods (Hernand)Four Bismuth deposits clustered together.
