In Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, players will take control of two Banishers, namely Red and Antea. The game is set in 1695, which makes for a rather interesting setting. After players set foot in New Eden, they will learn about the Nightmare haunting the place.

As the story continues, it becomes increasingly clear that neither Red nor Antea are capable of facing the entity. The fight against the Nightmare is predetermined, so no amount of parrying or using decoctions will help players beat it. Following the fight, players will have to travel through the island and get stronger. One of the many new items that will prove to be useful in Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is the rifle. But this item won't be available from the get-go.

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden - How To Get The Rifle Guide

When players access their inventory in the early stages of the game, they will see a slot with "Rifle" written on it. However, they won't be able to obtain the item for a while. Players will first need to reach the Dark Woods storyline, in which they will have to help Kate deal with the problems involving her cook and the blacksmith.

Both the quests are rather straightforward, and all you have to do is gather all the clues. Then you will have to make two very important decisions that will contribute to Antea's Ascent or Resurrection. Once you are done with both quests, return to Kate and talk to her. Then players need to head back to their shelter and wait for Thickskin to return.

After meeting Thickskin, you will receive a new mission to kill the Beast that has been haunting the woods and killing people. Before sending players away, she will tell them to take the rifle from Kate.

Head to Kate's location and talk to her. She will be rather dissatisfied with her sister's demand. Complete the conversation with Kate, and you will receive the rifle.
