Revision 1

Overview

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

Crafting

Where to Get Bones

Bones drop from most wildlife and undead: Boar, Wolf, Crocodile, Plague Thrall, Drowner, and Swollen Drowned. Exploration loot chests also yield them.

Best Used For

• Boarding actions: full pellet spreads in tight deck spaces

• Cave and dungeon fights where enemies close the gap

• Breaking heavy pirate poise at point-blank range

See Also

• Blunderbusses

• Reliable Blunderbuss

• Stone Bullets

• Iron Bullets

• Enchanted Bullet

Numerical Qualifier

The 6-pellet / 30 percent-per-pellet / 180 percent total-on-all-connect figure traces primarily to MetaForge's ammo crafting guide. A second independent confirmation of these exact numbers was not located; treat them as widely-cited community specs rather than patch-note-verified stats. What multiple sources agree on:

• 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 standard Pierce bullets.

• Damage decays noticeably with distance; it is a close-range specialist, not a general-purpose round.

• Community reports also describe a cone-width and stagger-boost effect (roughly 15 percent on Blunderbuss posts per Boostmatch), which is widely repeated but not officially confirmed.

Best Targets

• Boarding actions where enemies crowd the deck in melee range.

• Grouped Plague Thralls or Plague Warriors in the Cursed Swamps; the spread plus the slash conversion synergizes well with the Dragonbreath Blunderbuss Epic fire-explosion perk.

• Cave and dungeon fights with narrow sightlines where pellet spread hits everything.
