Firearms are the only ranged weapons in Way of the Samurai 4.

There are two types of firearms in the game: Pistols and Rifles. They both function almost identically but with differing styles. Firearms work differently than melee weapons in the game. When fired, they will decrease the durability of the weapon each time, regardless whether the shot hits or not. This also causes firearms to break often as each round fired takes a significant chunk of the durability. It is recommended to bring and apply blade oil to the firearm before going into a fight and reapply when possible. Firearms are usually not that powerful unless some heavy upgrading takes place. Appraising a firearm with the "Unbreakable" moniker will negate the effect firing shots will have on the durability of the weapon, essentially making a gun that never breaks, making the user almost invincible since they never have to get close to any opponents and just fire from afar.

Acquiring Firearms and Styles[]

To use any firearm in the game, you have to get the proper licences. A Gun Licence allows the use of pistols and a Rifle Licence allows the use of rifles. The Gun Licence unlocks for purchase with Samurai Points once you defeat J.J. on any difficulty. The Rifle Licence requires the defeat of Charles, a rifle wielding contender in the tournament when representing the Disciples of Prajna on at least Hard difficulty. Note that you cannot pick up any firearm you don't have the licence for. Any attempt to will just result in the gun dropping to the ground as if your inventory is full.
