Arquebus (Timeless)

The Arquebus is a uncommon weapon that can be found in Pirate Seas, Antique China and Renaissance Era. It is kinda slow to shoot but can inflict a lot of damage in case of headshot

Appearance and origins
It is a medium-sized gun, around 130 centimeters long, that is equipped with a matchlock. Based on the eponymous weapon commonly used around the 15th to the 17th century, it is however reloaded faster, with the ammo being a single piece made of the components glued together

Attack patterns
The Arquebus shoots a single bullet, which travels very quickly and almost instantly reaches its target. Closer ennemies will take a bit more damage, and a small cloud of smoke will be released with each shot

Strategies
It has a very slow rate of fire, but it is extremely powerful if you manage to do a headshot. If you are very precise, you can even use it to instantly kill Bucketheads and other powerful zombies. Concerning long ranged attacks, the Arquebus slight unnacuracy can make it difficult to eliminate large threats from far away, and a Musket is generally powerful enough to do the job. This weapon should however be used when you are facing bulkier ennemies, as you it deals more damage and reloads faster, but is a big no-no when you are against armored ennemies like a Wooden Tank or a Barrel Zombie.
