New World does not need any introduction, the game has been a source of entertainment for gamers for quite a while now. With a plethora of weaponry at your disposal, the March 2022 'Heart of Madness' update has included the deadly Blunderbuss, a weapon renowned for doing massive amounts of damage at close range. With each passing month, the game has been updated significantly, whether it’s about the graphics, the gameplay or the weapons. The same was the case when New World introduced us to its latest weapon - The Blunderbuss.

In this article, we will discuss this excellent new weapon more and how you can use it efficiently. We will discuss the Containment and Chaos Mastery of the Blunderbuss. Our New World Blunderbuss Guide will also cover the Bunderbuss’s Active and Passive skills as well. Blunderbuss might not look all that fancy and dangerous to some, but when used correctly, it can cause a lot of damage. So, make sure you read the entire article to understand what Blunderbuss actually is and how you can use it to its potential.

What is Blunderbuss and Why should you use it?

Putting it simply, the Blunderbuss is a strength-based weapon. It can deal a lot of damage - through Area of effect abilities, headshots, and Critical Chance. As far as Why is concerned - we will be answering it in the rest of the article, but here is a glimpse. Blunderbuss can effectively shoot out 8 bullets all at the same time. This allows you to shoot multiple enemies at once. This was all about its destructive power. This is a powerful weapon for landing critical strikes and slowly burning adversaries before transitioning to your melee weapon.

Blunderbuss possesses a variety of abilities tailored to deal long-range damage, mobility, CC, and debuffs. Chaos and Containment are the two mastery trees, which are pretty much balanced in this aspect. There are various abilities available with both of these trees. So, it’s completely up to you, which mastery you choose.

Best weapon combinations and Core Attributes

Because the Blunderbuss scales with the Intelligence and Strength Core Attributes, it may be used in a variety of ways. The Great Axe, War Hammer, and Fire Staff are our particular favourites among the several weapons you may use with this one-shot monster. Let’s discuss this in detail.

The Great Axe - With a core attribute as Strength, it’s one of the best weapons to sync and combine with the Blunderbuss. The Great Axe offers a lot of CC, which allows you to ensare your enemies and then use the Blunderbuss to kill them with one critical hit. 

War Hammer - With a core attribute as Strength, it’s one of the best weapons to sync and combine with the Blunderbuss. The Great Axe offers a lot of CC, which allows you to ensare your enemies and then use the Blunderbuss to kill them with one critical hit.

Fire Staff - If you want to play a high DPS build, the Fire Staff lets you to do mid-range damage quickly, and when swapped out for the Blunderbuss, it can be fatal.

Hatchet - The Hatchet/Blunderbuss combination is ideal for fast-paced gamers. Because of Berserk and Defy Death, you can get up close and personal (ideal for the Blunderbuss) then dart away to safety without a scratch.

Containment Weapon mastery allows the Blunderbuss to enhance the DMG of the last shot dealt before reloading. Though this effect takes place after reloading. This also attaches a bomb to the enemy.
