GuidesBooty Bay Bruiser's Buckshot WoW Forever beta
Nerfed on October 6: the gun no longer knocks anyone back
Use: Take steady aim and fire a round to knock your target away.
A hotfix took away its Use effect. It’s now an ordinary level 30 gun, still sold at Honored. Everything below about the knockback, the clips included, is from before the nerf. The road to Honored is the same, and so is the Souvenir Sea Shell.
Blizzard confirmed it in its development notes of October 8: the gun no longer knocks anyone back.
This is the gun from Payo’s clips. Since October 5 he’s been using it to knock players off piers, boats and cliffs, and it works on your own faction too.
It’s sold in Booty Bay to players Honored with the town, 8,500 reputation from where every character starts. Here’s the quickest way to get there at level 30.
And if griefing is not your thing, the same quartermaster sells the Souvenir Sea Shell at Honored, which is on every one of our PvP best-in-slot lists.
The gun
- One shot every 10 minutes
- A 3 second cast, then a 10 minute cooldown.
- From 10 to 40 yards
- It cannot be fired at someone standing next to you: step back first.
- Anyone, any faction
- It hits players of your own faction as well as the other one, and it does no damage. On flat ground the push is long and low; from a ledge, a bridge or a ship’s deck, the fall does the rest.
- Still a gun
- It is also a level 30 ranged weapon with 9 Attack Power, on the best-in-slot lists of warriors, rogues and hunters. Like every reward here, it is bound to you once bought.
It didn’t last: an October 6 hotfix took the knockback away.
Payo’s clips
Reaching Honored
Booty Bay, Ratchet, Gadgetzan and Everlook are four goblin towns of the same cartel. Whatever reputation you earn with one, the other three get half of it. That is why Ratchet’s quests and the pirates of the Barrens, which pay Ratchet, also count for Booty Bay.
The Booty Bay quests
about 1,225Most of them start on the docks of Booty Bay, a few steps from the quartermaster. They are level 30 to 44 quests: at 30, take a group for the elites and the higher ones.

It does not matter at level 30: their own quests start at level 49.
The Ratchet quests
about 1,450 Alliance, 2,100 HordeRatchet’s quests in the Barrens add up to 2,895 Ratchet reputation for the Alliance and 4,220 for the Horde, and Booty Bay gets half. If you levelled through the Barrens, most of it is already on your sheet. If you skipped them, they are quick at 30, and they take you to Friendly with Ratchet, whose quartermaster sells level 20 gear.
Pirates, for the rest
about 2,050–2,300 killsThe Merchant Coast, in the Barrens
South of Ratchet, around 63.0, 46.5, the Southsea pirates hold the coast. They are level 12-15. Each one gives +5 Ratchet reputation, so about +2.5 to Booty Bay. Their captain, Baron Longshore, gives +25.
/way 63.0 46.5to paste in your chat with TomTomAfter the quests of steps 1 and 2, Honored is about 2,050 pirates away for the Horde and 2,300 for the Alliance. On the way, Ratchet reaches Honored too.
The Venture Co., in Stranglethorn
The goblins of the Venture Co. camps in the north of Stranglethorn, around 40.0, 17.0, give Booty Bay +5 each, twice a pirate: about 1,050–1,150 kills. They are level 34-38, above you at 30, so go in a group: every member gets the reputation of each kill.
The reputation each quest and each kill gives is Classic’s, as Wowhead lists it for Forever. Nobody has published a count from the beta yet.
