ARK SURVIVAL ASCENDED SIMPLE PISTOL GUIDE

the simple pistol an Old Reliable revolver what more could you ask for unlocked at level 34 and crafted in a Smithy the simple pistol is the first gun you will ever unlock in Arc survival ascended costing 60 metal 15 hide and five wood it's also the most affordable one the simple pistol comes in at a weight of five the second lightest in the game it fires the simple bullet shocker these cost three gunpowder and half a metal each and every time you fire one of these through the gun it'll take away2 durability of the total 60 meaning it can go through 300 shots before breaking now as for actual damage the simple pistol does 100 damage per shot nice clean 100 and shoots just a little bit over two rounds a second with a magazine size of six and a Reload time of 3 seconds exactly meaning over the course of 1 minute you're able to shoot 66 shots for a total damage of 6,600 this will cost you 40 metal and 198 gunpowder this includes the durability loss of the revolver itself now assuming you have the ammo for it you could keep shooting the revolver for just a little bit under 5 minutes straight before breaking in that time you do roughly around 30,000 damage assuming you didn't miss a single shot now as for missing shots the revolver actually has very good accuracy to the point it's so good that you can pretty much just pretend it has no accuracy at all and is pinpoint perfect this includes hip fire which is pretty cool to do on a revolver right overall these stats make the revolver a good all-around gun which is basically the opposite of what they are in every other game while it's per shot damage is much lower than the long neck or the shotgun which are both comparable weapons cost-wise it has a much better DPS than the long neck and a much better range than the shotgun if I could only make one gun in the Smithy and maybe even the whole game entirely this would be the one it is very hard to overstate how reliable and flexible this gun is one of my least favorite things about it though as you may have noticed is it has God awful iron sights I would very much so recommend putting a scope on it and especially since for some reason it has no scopes away this is also one of the easiest guns to get in a higher quality as Alpha Raptors fairly often drop a higher quality version of the simple pistol now as for actually using the gun I would give it three main uses the first would be as an early game PVP gun the second would be as a secondary gun to complement a primary gun and the third is what I call a just in case gun now on early game PVP the simple pistol is superb it'll shred through anyone wearing hide or chitten if you somehow find someone wearing chitten and it's okay against primitive flak and also surprisingly good against early game dinos and again the cost is a big part of this it only costs a little bit more than a full suit of flak however once we start talking about carrying multiple sets of flak or higher quality flak or better dinos it really does start to fall short now on the second Point as a secondary gun when I say this I mostly mean the long neck when you take the long neck and the simple pistol and you put them together they make this awesome pair that perfectly covers the weaknesses of each other the long neck has very good one shot damage and is great if you can duck in and out of cover and you're having like a longrange sniper battle with someone right or if you're just shooting them when they don't even know you're there but when you look at the long neck's damage per second it is pathetic this means if someone's in aola or if they've brought out a dyo the long neck is going to struggle which the simple pistol perfectly covers you on those angles when you put the two together it's just perfect and even if you're in PVE and you're bringing the long neck out to go tame something it's good to have a gun that actually does damage and I know you can quick switch ammo types now but even shooting regular bullets long neck is still really bad against wild dinos the only downside of this approach is you have both the cost and the weight of both the guns on you so it can be kind of rough if you die and as a just in case gun the simple pistol is also perfect and what I mean by this is if you're going out on like a farming run or you're doing something where you don't expect to get into a fight but you don't want to exactly just roll over and die if one happens anyway the simple pistol is perfect with only five we it's not a big problem to carry it with you and it's versatile in every situation so you'll never be caught completely off guard all in all the simple pistol is reliable cheap and easy to use a great weapon and one that I definitely recommend crafting just don't expect to go killing gigas with it
