I. Information

Why would you want to make a Handcannon Pure? Well, the answer is simple: They are overpowered and ownage. They are CLOSE to unbeatable (at a low level). This type of pure is very rare, because it involves alot of work. Also, there is alot of features avaiable for a handcannoner. They can choose to use 'Void armour', wich makes your handcannon hit even more, or they may choose to use normal ranged armour like black d'hide. Oh my god, alot of reading, isnt it? Well, you've gotta live with it! Heres some information on the handcannon:

The handcannon is a very powerful weapon wich was released into the game at 9th September 2009, and it requires the completion of the quest 'Forgiveness of a Chaos Dwarf' & 75 Ranged to wield. The weapon is a little different from other Ranged weapons - it may explode as you fire it! The 'Explode rate' of the handcannon is based on your Firemaking level. Its all random, though. It has the highest Ranged strength bonus in the game, and it provides you with +90 ranged attack bonus. This makes the Handcannon the deadlies ranged weapon in the game! Heres a picture of a player wielding the Handcannon:

So, now you know some basics about the handcannon & your ready to move on!




II. Getting started

First of all, you need an account with no combat stats (or very low combat stats), or you can simply make a new one. Its preferred to use an old skiller, since you will not have to make a new account & will maybe have some of the stats started already. Anyway, once you have an account you would like to use, you will have to make some cash. Its recommended to buy membership as fast as possible, and then start botting flax. Bot until you have atleast 1M (More is recommended!). Now, your ready to start building your Handcannon Pure!

That is a picture of my account, and I have been doing alot of SoulWars. Thats why I have such an low HP, and also my combat is only 63! My max hit is 350, so with my special attack I can hit 350-350! Insane, huh?!

IIII. PvP'ing

You got this far? Haha, unbelieveable! Well, now you've made yourself a very good account. You could wreck almost anyone in PVP, but you've always gotta be careful.

Now, this all depends on if you have low or high HP. If you have a low hp level, its pretty simple.

Heres an recommended, cheap gear for you (Yes, I used RuneHQ because my handcannoner doesn't have membership anymore):

And inventory:

Yes, simple as that! Nothing else! The lumbridge tab is incase you get rushed by anyone, and if you have low hp you will have a hard time surviving!

Now, go to world 26 and stand right by the edge of the hotspot at the 'Grand Exchange'. Whenever somebody at a lower level than you, preferrably with low HP, walks out, simply pot up, turn your 'Eagle Eye' prayer on & run out to spec him right away. This might fail and he might get away, because the handcannon's special attack takes a good while to fire away. But dont worry - you will get the hang of it after a while! Goodluck PVPing!

Handcannon Information

You may also turn your handcannoner into a zerker pure later on, if you make sure to quest your defence levels! I recommend that you do:

Dragon Slayer
Nature Spirit
Holy Grail (Also gives 11k Prayer XP!)

Note that 'Between a Rock' also gives 5K defence xp, so keep that in mind! If you do these 4 quests, you should end up at around 40 defence and will have the ability to get Barrows Gloves later on at below 45 defence.
