This custom weapon was made on commission.
DESCRIPTION
Ever wanted to make Varric drool after your weapon for a change?
This custom bolt gun may even rival the design of Bianca. The inquisitor, ever ahead of their time,
had this custom gun built using cunning, gunpowder and maybe some assistance from the artificer Three-Eyes.
They said it was crazy, but it worked! Make your enemies tremble in the face of innovation!
The Gunslinger bow replaces the model for both Perseverance and Elgar'nan Enaste. Both bows have tier 3 schematics.
The metal on the gun is tintable.
I highly recommend crafting Elgar'nan Enaste if possible!
This bow shoots explosive arrows, which works best for the full gun experience.
Elgar'nan Enaste requires Trespasser DLC as the schematic can the found from exploration there (for exact location, click the link).
Perseverance is rewarded through a passive quest in the Hissing Wastes or you can buy the schematic at the Black Emporium.
After aquiring any of the schematics they can be shared with other save characters through the Golden Nug.
This is the model the bolt gun replaces:
While the Gunslinger bolt gun may look like a gun, it still behaves like a bow. There is currently no way to edit animations for Dragon Age: Inquisition,
so there is nothing I can do about this. The bolt gun was created with the vision of a crossover between a Nerf gun and an old timey pistol.
The standard quiver has also been switched out with my custom model for a more full experience.
It's worth noting that the quiver has been switched out for ALL archers in the game, not just the inquisitor.
Lastly the animated arrows being shot in combat have been shrinked to better fit the bolt gun. This also affects ALL archer.

COMPATIBILITY
Not compatible with any mods editing the bows Perseverance and Elgar'nan Enaste, or the standard quiver. Neither model or texture.
Other than this there should be no compatibility issues.
