The weapon's trait and the in-game description, then how its damage compares with the other Firearms.

Musket

150 → 300

Blunderbuss

150 → 350this weapon

Damage per shot at level 1 → max level, before attack multipliers. The Blunderbuss shows its per-shot cap (every pellet hitting).

Every stat the game stores for each weapon level, the materials that level costs, and the running total from level 1.

Damage is the weapon's base per hit; each attack multiplies it (see the moveset).

Everything needed to go from level 1 to 10: 16 materials, 45,000 Catalysts if you buy every one a merchant sells.

• Standard Firearm Parts×6
• Superior Firearm Parts×6
• Exquisite Firearm Parts×3
• Masterwork Firearm Parts×1

Multiplier × the shot's damage (Blunderbuss: the per-shot cap, every pellet landing). Linear between the curve's points and flat after the last one; the damage columns are calculated.
