This heavy pistol, that gains power while hovering, was inspired by tragedy. A strider went down on the path from Heliost to Antium. Nobody knows how or why it went down, but they do know the survivors were run down and torn apart by wolven. A Freelancer who lost his family in the incident dedicated his life to hunting down wolven. He would track down a pack and then hover over them, shooting until they were all dead. A wolven-hating Arcanist created this pistol to help the Freelancer with his terrible vengeance.
