The Silkshot is an ancient Weaver weapon that fires projectiles using shell canisters and Silk, giving Hornet a true ranged gun-like option. It comes in multiple variants, each repaired and tuned by a different NPC, so the one you wield depends on where you take your broken parts. It begins life as a Ruined Tool that must be fixed before it works. For players who like to fight at distance, it is one of the most satisfying tools in the game.
