Gunslinger Class Guide & Builds: The first female DPS gunner character that resembles the Devil Hunter (Deadeye) class and was introduced in Lost Ark MMORPG in 2021 as part of the gender unlocks update.
In this article, we are sharing another addition to our Lost Ark guides series, which this time is about the Gunslinger class guide that covers her PVE/PVP builds, DPS gameplay styles, stats, and skills that are preferred to use for this amazing female gunner profession.
In short: Gunslinger is the 1st female gunner advanced class in Lost Ark MMORPG that uses multi types of guns. Besides, its design and looks so much beautiful compared to some other classes. However, some may see it as a low DPS due to its difficulty or changes. Still, you can build your Gunslinger differently in Lost Ark by following a suitable guide that makes the gameplay easier, more enjoyable, and superior.
Gunslinger Class Overview:
Gunslinger is a gunner-type and a medium/long-range DPS advanced class in Lost Ark MMORPG. Plus, it’s the first female that was added to the game in 2021 as a new character instead of unlocking the gender for the male Devil Hunter (Deadeye).
Moreover, the Gunslinger uses dual handguns as the main weapon, which can transform or switch into dual shotguns, and a rifle. In turn, Gunslinger becomes poss three types of guns at the same time. As a result, it can fight the enemies with a fast combo and stylish combat.
Currently, Gunslinger is the only female gunner class that received gender unlock of Devil Hunter (Deadeye) profession in Lost Ark. So it is also the only class that can be chosen at level 10 from the female group selection.
However, you can expect in the future to see female or gender unlock for Blaster (Artillerist), Scouter, Hawkeye (SharpShooter) classes.
Furthermore, check out below the male gunner classes that are similar to the female Gunslinger in Lost Ark, including their guide and builds:
Gunslinger Identity:
Gunslinger Identity or its special ability is all about selecting the proper gun depending on the situation. Plus, each weapon or gun has its skills with a different range.
To clarify, the handgun can attack at a medium range with fast splendidly skills. The dual shotgun provides heavy damage to nearby enemies. The rifle is proper for keeping sight of enemies and finishing them from a distance.
Is Gunslinger A Difficult Class In Lost Ark?
Many may find that switching between three weapons is a difficult thing, this is normal even for pro players. Also because there are some furious bosses, which may be difficult to fight using gunslinger common or traditional builds.
Plus, the Gunslinger class same as the Devil Hunter (Deadeye) needs many skill points due to a large number of skills in her weapons, which in turn increases its difficulty as well.
However, if you like this class, you can change its gameplay and reduce its difficulty. To illustrate, there is a class engraving for the gunslinger character that can lock one of the weapons, which is the shotgun.
But since a powerful weapon was locked, the other weapons skills receive an additional critical rate. In turn, this gives a different experience and reveals more ways to build the gunslinger class in Lost Ark MMORPG.
As a result, this class gameplay becomes easier, more fun, and less likely to make mistakes. Especially when switching weapons in hard PVE dungeons or epic island battles.
Lost Ark Gunslinger PVE & PVP Gameplay:
You can get an idea about the gameplay of the Gunslinger class in the Lost Ark end-game by watching the videos we have chosen below:
The video above shows one of the Hunting Time Gunslinger PVE builds by using 2 weapons. Where the player collects gold in Lost Ark from other AFK players by soloing the legion/Leader boss dungeon.
In the second video, the same build was used without the Gunslinger shotgun stance. Where the same player is farming gold by soloing the secondary legion/Leader boss in Lost Ark MMORPG.
Furthermore, the third video above shows the Peacemaker Gunslinger PVE builds by using all 3 gun weapons. Where the player soloing one of the guardian boss dungeons in Lost Ark.
Many may find the Peacemaker build to be exciting and enjoyable. But actually, it takes a lot of time to get used to it. Also, it might be annoying sometimes when trying to get the right gun at the right moment.
Lastly, the previous video shows how amazing and satisfying the gunslinger class gameplay style can be in the Lost Ark PVP arena.
This is due to the common and super powerful skills combos that can’t be avoided. As well as its flexibility of movement and the plenty of skills that distinguishes this advanced profession from others
