Revision 8

Overview

The Jemel Pistol is a firearm in Crimson Desert and the most powerful pistol available. With a base Attack Power of 18, it surpasses every other firearm in the game in terms of raw single-shot damage. It also carries an Attack Speed bonus at Level 1, allowing for faster follow-up shots between engagements.

Like other firearms, the Jemel Pistol can only be wielded by Damiane. It represents the top end of pistol firepower and is generally considered the best overall firearm choice for players who want every shot to hit as hard as possible. The tradeoff is its high price: 7.46 Silver Coins from the Hernandian Equipment Shop, making it one of the most expensive weapons available from merchants.

Stats

How to Obtain

The Jemel Pistol can be purchased from the Hernandian Equipment Shop in Hernand for 7.46 Silver Coins. This makes it one of the more expensive weapons available from merchants, reflecting its superior stats. Prices may vary depending on faction reputation.

Because the Jemel Pistol is only available through purchase (no crafting recipe has been documented), players need to save up a decent amount of silver before they can acquire it. Selling loot, completing bounties, and farming silver coins through trade are all viable ways to fund the purchase.

Refinement and Upgrades

The Jemel Pistol supports 10 refinement levels and 5 Abyss Core slots. Since it already starts with the highest base Attack Power of any firearm, refinement pushes it even further ahead of alternatives. Players who invest in refining the Jemel Pistol will have the hardest-hitting ranged option available to Damiane by a comfortable margin.

For Abyss Core loadouts, consider cores that boost overall damage, critical hit chance, or critical hit damage. The Jemel Pistol does not come with a built-in crit bonus like the Bekker Musket, so slotting in crit-related cores helps cover that gap while capitalizing on the high base Attack Power.

Firearm Comparison

The Jemel Pistol leads the pack in raw damage by a significant margin. The Spencer Pistol comes closest at 16 Attack Power and shares the same Attack Speed Lv.1 bonus, but the Jemel's two extra points of Attack Power give it a clear edge for players who prioritize damage per shot.

Combat Tips

Damiane's pistol skills, including Charged Shot, Evasive Shot, Quick Reload, and Focused Shot, all scale with the weapon's Attack Power. Using these skills with the Jemel Pistol produces the highest damage output of any firearm setup in the game.

Evasive Shot is particularly effective with the Jemel Pistol because the Attack Speed bonus shortens the window between dodging and firing, letting Damiane stay mobile while putting out consistent damage. This makes the pistol ideal for hit-and-run tactics against aggressive enemies that require constant repositioning.

The Jemel Pistol is the best choice for players who want Damiane's ranged attacks to hit as hard as possible. The only real downside is the cost: 7.46 Silver Coins is a significant investment, especially early in the game. Players on a budget can stick with the Spencer Pistol (free, starting equipment) until they can comfortably afford the upgrade.
