Functionality
Functionality[]
The Flint-Knock Pistol has a very unique function, in that shooting the weapon blasts the user in the opposite direction from where they are aiming, as well as launching whoever is struck by the weapon away from the bullet as well. If the player crouches whilst shooting they will not move; the same goes for the target.
The Flint-Knock Pistol is a Projectile weapon. It does not have First Shot Accuracy enabled, and will always fire shots randomly within the crosshair. This spread is decreased whilst crouching.

This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- The Flint-Knock Pistol can be used for self mobility, such as reaching high ground, or it can be used for offensive mobility, such as knocking a player off a structure, or into the storm.
- If you equip two Balloons, jump up in the air and fire the Flint-Knock pistol towards the ground. It will push you upwards. If you continue to use the Flint-Knock pistol in this way, you can theoretically stay in the air for the entire match. Although, you would need infinite ammo to do that.
Counters[]
- The Flint-Knock Pistol only holds 1 shot, and has a very slow reload, making it very easy to catch an opponent wielding one off guard and take them out as they attempt to reload it.
