Rune Pistol is a Hand Gun and one of the available Weapons in Remnant 2. Rune Pistol is accurate semi-automatic pistol that excels at rapid-fire attacks with small-caliber bullets. It is most effective at medium range, allowing for precise and controlled engagements with enemies at moderate distances.

 

"Gunsmithing is unpopular among the Fae. It is considered barbaric, pedestrian, or even trite. But for any given art, there exists a passionate artisan who will devote their life to it. The results of such a master can only change the world."

Remnant 2 Rune Pistol Notes & Trivia

  • The weapon shrouds itself in a luminous mist that bears the sharp tang of cinnamon and lime. It makes sense that such destructive Fae magic would smell...appetizing.
  • Hand Guns round up the players' arsenal, providing them with a shorter-range variation to Long Guns. They can be crafted from items dropped by specific Bosses, rewarded from events and some are sold by Merchants.
  • Updated with the release of The Forgotten Kingdom DLC. Check Patch Notes for more information. Increased Damage from 15 to 16, Increased Reload Speed, Reduced Horizontal Recoil, and Forces Auto Reload on activate if any rounds are available

      As of patch 10.26.23 the Soul Brand ability has been reworked to be an aura, so you are able to pop the ability and it applies to new enemies in the area as you walk near them. So happy, the ability was pretty much completely useless before

      - Rune Pistol Mod (Soul Brand): Converted to Aura instead of a single-burst AOE. The effect now travels with the player while active so that they may mark enemies they come in contact with.

        I think this gets slept on for support builds, 20% per kill ads up quickly
        very accurate and decent dps
        hopefully the whine issue will get fixed soon

          Pros: Solid 3 burst fire (can be held to fire bursts continuously). Can be a good way to heal up in between fights. Also highlights targets that are hard to see.

          Cons: Produces an annoying ambient sound. You can hear this thing even on the character select screen. Relatively hard to obtain.

            The performance of the weapon itself is excellent, but the major drawback is that the heal effect weapon mod is fixed.
            If your build has few means of self-healing, it is well worth employing.

              Its essentially the pulse rifle as a handgun but you can hold the trigger for continous fire. Actually pretty strong with bandit and fire rate buffs but unfortunately let down by a useless weapon mod.

                Decent little pistol but god is it too annoying. Any time you have it equipped to the secondary slot (whether or not it's actually in your hand) it'll make an annoying and weird sound 24/7. I call this pistol the 'New Tinnitus Experience'.

                  so to make this short 1st you take the Ravenous Medallion to the web to get the Decrepit Rune then take that to nimue and you get the pistol

                    This is a good weapon for healing if you have a build that needs the rings and gear for other things.
                    Marks enemies with the mod, then kill them to get 20% healing orbs.

                      From what I can tell, to get this pistol, you have to do the following:
                      1) Roll an adventure mode in Losomn. You need to get Morrow Parish as the area (if you get the Palace Courtyard, re-roll).
                      2) Run through the Parish, and hope to get The Great Hall as one of the areas inside the Parish. If you don't, re-roll adventure mode until you get Great Hall inside Morrow Parish. It won't work if you get Great Hall inside the Palace.
                      3) Get the Ravenous Medallion from The Great Hall.
                      4) Run through the Asylum to get to the Asylum 3rd floor, go to Nimue's place, go to the Nightstalker hunting grounds, get the Soulkey Tribute from the end of the dungeon there.
                      5) Use the Tribute on the web to open up the nightmare asylum.
                      6) Use the Ravenous Medallion on the web inside the nightmare asylum to get the Decrepit Rune.
                      7) Finally, go back to Nimue to trade the Decrepit Rune for the gun.
                      NB: The reason getting the Great Hall inside the Palace (instead of the Parish) won't work is because you can't get the Nightstalker Web inside the Palace, and even if the Great Hall spawns in the palace and you get the Ravenous Medallion, when you reset the adventure mode to get the Parish, the Ravenous Medallion will vanish from your inventory.
                      So there's a lot of RNG to get this.

                        I recieved the Decrepit Rune by g8v8ng the Ravenous Medallion quest item to the Nightweaver's Web. I'm not sure if it is a guaranteed exchange or a chance though
