Also essential, this paired with max stacks Swallow sh!ts out more dmg than akimbo 1887´s on rust ong

Location: Random drop from the Hokora.

Location: Random drop from the Hokora.

Sidenote: Do NOT keep this permanently slotted.
Eventually it will grief you when you are trying to run past enemies and waste your sanity/resources. Only use it to build swallow stacks, and then swap it out.
