Notes

  • During each TPN Campus Trial, there are two chances to receive this recipe:
    • After Maelstrom is defeated the first time (he will drop one pistol) inside the TPN Building
    • After the second defeat of Maelstrom (he will drop his other pistol) on the TPN Campus
  • Both times there is a 4% chance for a random league member to obtain this recipe each time Maelstrom drops a pistol in the TPN.
  • Maelstrom's Pistols are re-colorable via the Costume Creator, but in a limited fashion. The primary and secondary color selections will "blend" on the pistol's main body into a single color. The grips of the pistols are totally unaffected by color selections and remain red.
