Avowed brings back a joke pistol from Pillars of Eternity that literally tells you not to use it, but you can immediately upgrade it into a killer hand cannon

Avowed masked Knight with glowing red eyes Inquisitor Lodwyn looks at camera.

"This is a terrible weapon that disappoints anyone who uses it," reads the description of the Disappointer, a unique pistol in Avowed. "Those who aren't fooled by its appearance still occasionally attempt to use it just to see if maybe the whole thing was made to look this way as an elaborate ruse, hoping that it is an artifact of extreme power, crafted by a master who desired to conceal its remarkable nature. It wasn't, and it isn't."

Only, while that description may be apt for the Disappointer's original appearance back in 2015's Pillars of Eternity, where it was pretty much just well-hidden vendor trash, the Disappointer in Avowed slaps, can be had early and easily, and could conceivably see a pistoleer through most of the game. Don't make my mistake and let that item description put you off, only to come back for it hours later out of curiosity.
