Description
Picked up from the Advanced Weapon Dealer at Marine Fortress for 30,000 Beli, the Refined Slingshot is a rare-tier gun that punches well above the typical expectations for a ranged weapon at its price point. Because it scales with the Gun stat rather than Sword, players investing in a ranged build will feel its damage grow steadily as mastery climbs through repeated hits. Its two moves, Ink Swarm and Cluster Bomb, give it a notably different flavor from single-shot guns. Ink Swarm spreads projectiles across a wide arc, useful for disrupting grouped enemies or pressuring opponents who try to close the gap, while Cluster Bomb delivers an explosive burst better suited to landing a concentrated hit. For early-to-mid-game players grinding near Marine Fortress, the Refined Slingshot is a practical rare pickup that transitions gun users toward more ability-driven combat without requiring a significant Beli investment.

Refined Slingshot — In-Depth Analysis
What Is the Refined Slingshot?
The Refined Slingshot is a Rare gun purchased from the Advanced Weapon Dealer at Marine Fortress for $30,000 — one of the more affordable Rare weapons in the First Sea. Its design is distinctly utility-focused: rather than raw damage, it brings crowd-control properties and Instinct-breaking to the table, making it function more like a setup tool than a primary damage dealer.
Strengths and Best Uses
What sets the Refined Slingshot apart from other early guns is its ability to apply a glue-like status that keeps enemies in place, making it excellent for Aura mastery farming and for pinning NPC groups during grinding sessions. Both moves break Instinct, which is genuinely above-average for a First Sea Rare gun. Its fast fire rate and good AoE round out its farming credentials.
- Both moves break Instinct — uncommon at this tier - Sticky effect keeps enemies in one spot, ideal for mastery grinding - Great range and AoE for a gun of this price - Good combo-setup potential as a secondary weapon - Can occasionally heal the user
The downsides are significant in PvP: overall damage is low, most moves are ground-based meaning aerial opponents are nearly impossible to hit effectively, and Rubber users are immune. Enemies can still use their own abilities even while stuck.
Tip: Use the Refined Slingshot specifically to farm Aura mastery — the Z move's ability to keep enemies locked in place lets you stack hits without chasing scattered NPCs.
