33 Bone Shot converts bone loot into multi-pellet close-range ammunition. Each shell fires 6 pellets at 30% base damage each, which total 180% damage when every pellet connects. Bone Shot is the specialist choice for Blunderbuss loadouts in cramped combat, trading effective range for raw close-quarters output.

1010 Bones drop from most wildlife and undead, including the Boar, Wolf, Crocodile, Plague Thrall, Drowner, and Swollen Drowned. Exploration loot chests also yield them, so a powderman who fights through the Cursed Swamps rarely runs short of raw material.

1818 Bone Shot is specifically a Blunderbuss ammunition type. Using it in pistols or muskets is not supported.It fires a spread of pellets dealing Slash damage, unlike the standard Pierce bullets a blunderbuss otherwise chambers.Damage decays noticeably with distance; it is a close-range specialist, not a general-purpose round.Because all six pellets must connect for the full 180%, the round rewards firing into a tightly packed group rather than at a single distant target.
