To unlock the signature ability, you must punch 500 times. To obtain the weapon, Hidden Histories are required.

Obtaining the Punching Gun

There are 2 Hidden Histories you need to complete to obtain the Punching Gun. The first is the Hidden History in Easy Providencia, the St. Thomas Corvacho. Your objective is to locate 5 History Boards.

Thes following are their locations:

History Board 1

Found at the entrance of the building.

History Board 2

In front of the building is another building. Get near to it and on the left side there is a brick pillar, behind it is the second History Board.

History Board 3

Go to the middle of the 2 buildings, and proceed right until you reach the end of the building. On a small staircase close to the road, you are going to find the third History Board.

History Board 4

From the location of the third History Board, follow the sidewalk and head left. Go straight until you reach the end, and turn left. At your left is a door with a staircase. Below the staircase is the fourth History Board.

History Board 5

The last History Board is located just a bit further from the fourth one. From the location of the fourth History board, you will see the History Board below a short staircase.

The second Hidden History is in Old Town West, the Meeker Square. Again, you going to find 5 History Boards to complete it.

The first History Board is located in the center, below the monument in the middle of two benches.

The 4 remaining History Boards are located on the triangles found on the map. As you can see from the map shown in the picture above, the Meeker Square forms a circle, where there are 4 triangles on the border.

You can find the 4 History Boards on these triangles. Completing the 2 Hidden History will automatically unlock the Punching Weapon in the Weapon Cache.
