Evelyn - Bloodborne

Evelyn is a Firearm in Bloodborne; it's one of three pistol firearms in the game.

 

Evelyn Description

"Special pistol used by Cainhurst knights.
The Evelyn uses Quicksilver Bullets, just as any workshop firearm, but the Cainhurst variant relies more on bloodtinge.
Lovingly named after a woman and graced with an intricate design, Evelyns were adored by Cainhurst knights."

 

Evelyn Information

• Requires 16 Bloodstone Shards, 16 Twin Bloodstone Shards, 16 Bloodstone Chunks, 1 Blood Rock and 6720 Blood Echoes to fully upgrade.

 

Location

• It is found inside a chest in Cainhurst Castle in the library room near the elevator shortcut filled with ghosts (Bound Widow) and barricaded behind tables. You will need to jump from a nearby library staircase to reach the chest.
• Sold by the Messengers after joining the Cainhurst Vilebloods at Cainhurst Castle.

 

Player Notes

• It has the highest potential Bloodtinge scaling amongst all firearms in Bloodborne.
  • At 20 Bloodtinge and below, the Hunter Pistol deals more damage. At 21, both firearms are equal, and at 22+ the Evelyn deals superior damage.
  • However, the Repeating Pistol deals more damage at the cost of using two Quicksilver Bullets instead of one.
• It has a unique pattern for firing compared to the other two pistols that very slightly affects the area shot.
• When comparing the Evelyn to the Repeating Pistol for a high bloodtinge build, it's important to try to find a balance between factors of ammo consumption, damage per shot and the enemy's defenses. While the Repeating Pistol offers more damage per shot, the Evelyn deals more damage per Quicksilver Bullet. 
  • At the same time, the Repeating Pistol consumes 2 bullets for a single instance of damage where spending 2 bullets with the Evelyn warrants 2 shots and in turn 2 seperate instances of damage, given both land. Therefore, the overall damage potential of 2 bullets spent with a shot from the Repeating Pistol will only be reduced once, where with 2 shots/bullets from the Evelyn, total damage is reduced twice. Given an enemy with low enough blood defense the Evelyn still has the potential to deliver more damage over time, however at higher levels the Repeating Pistol becomes a more dependable choice.
  • While the Repeating Pistol does have more dependable raw damage output, as a parrying tool the Evelyn is a far more economically viable pick for the simple fact that it consumes ammunition at half the rate of it's competition. Given this choice, not only will a player have double the damage potential for delivering ripostes with the default number of 20 bullets, but also be able to make full use of the 5 additional blood bullets they can create at any time. Given 2 players with a total of 25 bullets each, the one with a Repeating Pistol can only execute 12 parries where the one with the Evelyn can execute the full 25.
• It has a unique firing animation, but doesn't shoot any faster than the other two pistols.
