But that’s not all the patch contained, as leaker @HYPEX discovered that there was the next new item in the files as well, the Flintlock Pistol. The loading screen has revealed two new items already, the Baller and the Treasure Map, and now a third, the Flintlock Pistol. So, what role will the Flintlock Pistol serve? If we are being historically accurate here, the Flintlock Pistol, when it was used for two centuries starting in the 1600s, was a short range, single shot weapon. The concept of the Flintlock Pistol does not strike me as having the capacity to be super meta-changing, but who knows.
