Weapon and Adventurer are separate choices

Pepper is listed with Heavy Bowgun on the official website. Pepper’s airborne sequence belongs to her named kit. Do not assume that the player-created hunter has identical movement.

A useful first practice session

Editorial notes

Learn where a firing sequence ends and how quickly you can move afterwards. Place yourself where the target remains visible without trapping you against terrain.

Use the official demonstration below to identify the broad sequence, then check your actual client for controls, unlocks and costs. Older demonstrations are not authoritative launch-frame data.

On the Fated Adventurer

Pre-launch systems coverage describes the Fated Adventurer as the customizable hunter who can choose among weapon types. Named Adventurers instead have a listed weapon affinity. The exact launch unlock path has not been tested for this reference.

Editorial notes

Choose a weapon you can use through a complete hunt. Read the next recipe before consuming scarce materials, and record the source named by the game. This reference publishes no drop-rate or best-farm claim without a reproducible source.
