I actually research a bit and the difference in damage between this and repeating are less the more bloodtinge you have. At +10 at 50 you get only 36 less damage with this than repeating but at low levels and upgrades, repeating can do more than twice the damage and you can get it earlier.

Why is there a 267 word, 3 paragraph section in player notes that essentially says "Repeating pistol has more damage per shot but fewer shots, but Evelyn does more damage overall"?

For a pure gun build in PVE, use both Repeater and Evelyn (with Reiterpallasch in the right hand, of course). Start fights with Repeater and use Bone Marrow shots for the insane damage output. Once you're out of BMA, switch to the Evelyn. You get more sustain out of it, and can spam away with your blood bullets without wasting that last shot.

I've always used Evelyn as my primary firearm.

From my personal experience of putting 1500 hours into this game. This weapon is amazing at parries 6 to 8 feet between your target. Evelyn wasn't built to be CQ. Because of its range and accuracy, it takes pride in keeping an average distance between the player. It's made for picking people off and setting up viscerals. Also, its great against bosses whom can be parried. I recommend you use this against Kos. I was able to prevent his second phase by spamming viscerals.

P.S Great Velocity

Why actually be good at the game when you can spam this trash?

I've 1 hit a guy with a +10 evelyn with 40 bloodtinge at lvl 64. Bone marrow ash + a 30% blood attack gem is just beautiful. ~750 damage. ALWAYS level vitality first boys.

I think people are a little too quick to call this the best firearm in the game. The Hunter pistol outdamages it if bloodtinge is 20 or below. The repeating pistol outdamages it at every level, but costs an extra bullet to fire. If you are using a pistol with high BT, you likely want a gun that does as much damage as possible, which is the repeating pistol. I very rarely use all 20 bullets unless I'm using a cannon. Every other enemy drops bullets, you can get two different formless oeden runes very early in the game, and bullets are cheap to buy; blood bullets also help. The Evelyn takes the longest to obtain from the start, and it has that weird long-barrel weakness. All I'm saying is that some arguments can certainly be made against this weapons favor.

Being able to parry spam while simultaneously dealing 260 damage in pvp is the most fun ive had with a soulsgame in years!

Submit

For a Blootinge build, the best pistol is the Repeating Pistol. It does way more damage than the Evelyn. Just don't spam it, you'll run out of ammo quick

Submit

Doesn't 3-round burst. Sad

Submit

Exceptional as an offhand tool at higher tinge. The only thing other pistols have over it at that point is length. You might have enemies clip through the thing's long barrel during parry attempts. The thing is as long as a blunderbuss, but you shoot the blunderbuss at the waist while you extend your arm for pistols, which can lead to awkward missed parries. This is rare, obviously, but very apparent when it inevitably happens

Evelyn and chikage. Pretty much sums up bloodtinge build

If the enemy is standing to close to you, a shot from Evelyn will miss entirely as the bullet fires farther away from the player.

Dunno what y'all are talking about, I've never had any trouble parrying with the Evelyn. As far as I can tell, it fires exactly the same way as the pistol, but with much better bloodtinge scaling. Unless, do you mean its aim is bad when you're not targeting? Because then the problem just lies with the player, not the weapon.

Submit

looks nice, it was worth the bloodtinge build imo.

Submit

This used to say it was rthe fastest pistol, but (other than the Reiterpallasch) i did a side by side test in Sony Vegas and they all fire at the same rate.

I have been planning to make a gunmen build with bloodtinge hard capped. Which do you think is better to use, this one or the repeating pistol?

Submit

It requires 18 bloodtinge not 20 just got it

As I couldn't find it on the wiki and went hunting for it myself, I found it. Evelyn's chest is located next to the shortcut ladder towards end of the map, barricaded behind two desks and a staircase. In order to gain access to this area, one must use the small staircase to the right (when facing the chest) and jump across to the other side. Once there with Evelyn in hand, head straight up the staircase on the left side to get out of the barricade.

Found inside Cainhurst castle in a chest in a library. Not from covenant. Requires 20 Bloodtinge

Did some cleaning up on the page, and I'm hoping I got the numbers right. Personally I think this firearm is cool, but one thing I regret is that I couldn't find any information on the "twist draw" that I was talking about earlier. Might have to hit up a bookstore regarding famous gun duels if I ever want to verify this (look down on the comments section to figure out what I'm talking about).

Is there any way to open up more rune slots on the evelyn? I feel like I've been wasting my blood chunks trying to upgrade it.

You betta watch out, foo, 'cause we bustin' caps at 'em raggety-ass beasts gangsta style.

This weapon is completely useless in PvE, it misses every single target less than a mile away from you. If you got Evelyn for anything other than PvP, you wasted your time.

I compared Hunter Pistol vs Evelyn: trajectory, angle from which it is fired and disrance from which the bullet "starts" to fly. There is a significant difference: I compared by standing in Hunter's Dream looking at the 'ash lake trees' and shooting at them (not moving the camera and switching guns): 1. Eve shoots from the left diagonally in avery slight arc. while HP fires totally straight and centered. While I 'hit' the tree sith HP, Eve missed it by a few pixels. 2 +3 Eve misses quite often at point blank range, that's its biggest disadantage compared to HP, making it less reliable at parries than the HP: HP shoots from the waist directly into the center, making even 0 ft. Shots a 100% hit. Evelyn is LONGER so the bullet may start flying after the target and bypass it entirely. Futher Eve tends to miss at close range, especially vs thin slender enemies (slender zombie in Chalice) since it fires in an arc from the left - passing beyond. While HP fires directly in the stomach of foes. I still use Eve but I can confirm it miss more often due to arc, angle and trajectory.

Here's a fun tidbit that I didn't want to include in the trivia because I'm still trying to verify some concepts: the Evelyn's firing is based on a real life duelist shot called a "twist draw." Back in the day, when 1v1 gun duels were common, there were many different techniques that were created to more quickly put the opponent down. It was discovered that, when a gun was holstered in a certain angle and quickly whipped out (by literately just twisting your wrist with the gun rather than bringing it out full weaver/isosceles), you could shave a second or two off in regards to shooting an opponent. The catch was that it came at the sacrfice of accuracy and precision, so you had to train very hard in order to make this form of quickdraw work out for you.

The Evelyn looks like it draws inspiration from this particular quickdraw, although it wouldn't have been done with such a long barrel, but then again you wouldn't consistently hit the same exact spot on a wall standing still 20 shots in a row, so I suppose some creative liberties can be taken here.

If you guys are interested, look up a manga called "Peace Maker." There's alot of fiction involved, but there are some quickdraw techniques that are shown in the manga that reflect real life stances somewhat well.

Hey guys, i noticed that in the evelyn information there wasn't a number for the required echos needed to get the evelyn to +10. I just recently needed to upgrade one to max level so ill post the requirements here since I dont know how to add stuff to the wiki. +1 380 +2 440 +3 520 +4 580 +5 640 +6 700 +7 760 +8 840 +9 900 +10 960 That's a total of 6720 blood echoes required to get it to max level.

Anyone else find the animation causes it not to shoot straight especially on an angle? I find the HP and RP seem to shoot a lot more straighter and I think it's because of the animation or it could be just me.
