Strategy[]
- The Flintlock Rifle loads its rounds individually, so reloading can be interrupted if needed.
- Improving reload and attack speed is necessary as it is incredibly easy to be stuck reloading.
- When aiming down the sights, aim slightly to the left of the metal cocking handle.
- While it may seem like a great tool for producing money due to it's 150% Money stat, the slow firerate, reload speed and one-shotting zombies (instead of hitting them multiple times for hit money) greatly limit the amount of money it can produce.
Trivia[]
- The gun's design is from the catalog item "Pirate's Flintlock".
- When not aiming down sights, the Flintlock has the second highest recoil in the game at a staggering 75, only behind the M82 at 80 when it is unscoped and without its recoil reduction upgrade.
- The gamepass weapons Flintlock Pistol and Blunderbuss from the Pirates vs Ninjas pack have even crazier recoil at 100 and 120, respectively.
- This weapon counts as a Flintlock type weapon for the Trickster upgrade on the Cutlass.
- Despite being called a flintlock weapon, this weapon has a magazine with multiple shots.
