- Blunderbuss: Tightened damage drop-off ranges from 30m to 20m.
- Bolt Staff: Doubled Stagger on hip-fire attacks against Common enemies and Players.

- Increased hip-fire Rate of Fire by about 25%.
- Increased duration of Burn DoT on Alt Fire from 2 to 4 seconds.
- Increased Alt Fire Explosion Damage by ~25%, and Stagger by ~50%.
- Throwing Axes: Quickened Reload charge time from 1.5 to 0.8 seconds.
