Where To Find The Heritage Gun in Deathloop

The first step toward unlocking the Heritage Gun isvisiting Karl’s Bay at night.Right after exiting, the player will overhear two guards talking about a box nearby. Look at what they are doing and the two guards will open the box and it will explode.

Follow the road the two guards are on to the right. At the end of it is a building. This is where the Heritage Gun is locked away. Next to it is a map showcasing the locations of the boxes Colt has to locate.Charlie Montague will start speaking and announce the rules of the game.

Other Important Boxes

All the other boxes change with each loop.Just take a look at the map for the locations. Most of them are simply surrounded by guards, but there are a few that require special tactics to reach.

The Final Challenge

Once all the boxes are open, Charlie announces that there is one more prize to be had if the player is fast enough. Return to the room with the map as fast as possible and open the door with the green light over it. There is one more obstacle course to accomplish.

Like the switch puzzle in the second hangar, players have to pull them in a certain order before the timer runs out.If players trip the blue wires, the challenge is failed and must be restarted. It is also impossible to use slabs here, so Shift won’t help. The countdown is not challenging as long as one knows where the switches are. Play it slow and steady and the game provides plenty of time for Colt to activate all the switches.

After successfully accomplishing the challenge, the case in the prior room is unlocked and Colt now has the Heritage Gun.

The Heritage Gun

The Heritage Gun is both a shotgun and a rifle, being one of the few guns with two distinct firing modes. It utilizes shotgun shells and Colt cannot dual-wield it.It packs a punch even against Julianna. Any player who wants to keep it has to be wary of their Residuum. Because the Arsenal Lead is in the evening, going back into the tunnel activates the next loop.

It costs a ton ofResiduum to infuse the Heritage Gun. It would be unfortunate to go through all the work only to lose the gun because players simply could not afford to infuse it.Be sure to have enough Residuumor at least enough expendable items to sacrificein order to infuse the weapon. If players start the next day without infusing it, they will have to do the Arsenal Lead again.
