Description[]
Pipe Pistols were added to the game in Alpha 20 Experimental. They are intended to be an early-game weapon, much like their precursor the Blunderbuss.
Combat[]
The Pipe Pistol provides good close-medium range damage in the early game, as a lvl 1 version with a full magazine is capable of killing multiple zombies or even a zombie dog at Nomad difficulty provided the player hits the majority of their shots. The gun does have a fairly long reload time which players should keep in mind as this may pose problems in close-quarters combat or against runners if the player cannot dispatch the enemy before reloading.

The recipe above contains the Resources/Magazines needed for each Quality level of the Pipe Pistol.

Repair[]
Pipe Pistols lose condition with use, eventually degrading to the point that it can no longer function. It must be repaired using a Short Iron Pipe.
