My super weak pistol

[mongo]

I have been leveling all the weapons to go to tormenta and get the last chest.

I just got up to 17 on the Pistol.

I have been leveling on Padres beach and using 3 or 4 hex eater shots to burn of the gypsies vodoo and then they stand there while I use the weapon of choice on them. I get the major part of the points in the weapon I'm using but I also get a handful for the pistol too. It adds up after a while.

Now that I have Silver shot I can finally take down a Raider. I have tried with the cutlass and just kept getting cut to ribbons.

I have been putting the bulk of my skill points in Shoot and Take Aim (5 and 3). I also have 3 in Sharp Shooter and 2 in Eagle Eye. I only put one each in the different types of Ammo.

Sharp Shooter seems to be very valuable since I miss much less often (I was healing a guildmate while he leveled his pistol and I watched him miss 5 times in a row) even with only 3 points in it (maybe 1 shot in 20 or so misses)

Going forward I plan to fill Take Aim (levels 18 and 19), Get Steel Shot (level 20) and then after that fill sharp shooter with a few points left over.

Can anyone say if Dodge is worth it? I have its equivalent in the Cutlass and Vodoo doll (Parry and Spirit Sense) and they do pop up from time to time but it doesn't seem like it is something I would put too many points into. Maybe after I fill Sharp Shooter I'll stick a point in it.

Is this that last chest for the Black Pearl quest? No need to fight your way in, unless that's what you want to do. I just walked in and got it.

Hug the walls, stay away from the nasties, and you're golden.

Pistol is probably my most least favorite weapon, if you don't get at least one weap maxed, you'll still make it to 40.
I'm a level 30 and I just got my grenade to a level 9, im not going to bother with maxing it since the points are so low for it.

If that's the case, I should pop over and get it over with. I'll be on Tormenta soon for rep anyway. The Grenadiers are turning green on Padres and the Gypsies are turning yellow.

Plenty of time to kill all kinds of nasties.

Thanks for the tip.
