Borrowing Kim's Pew-Pew: A Delicate Dance in Disco Elysium
So, you've found yourself in the underbelly of Martinaise, a detective with a penchant for questionable decisions and a complete lack of firearms (thanks, amnesia!). Now, a particularly stubborn corpse is dangling from a tree, and the only way down involves a well-placed bullet. Enter Kim Kitsuragi, your ever-patient partner with a shiny revolver at his hip. But how, oh how, do you convince this by-the-book cop to lend you his precious "pew-pew" in this bizarre situation?
**Step 1: ** Channel Your Inner Bard (with a Hint of Desperation)
First things first, forget about the direct approach. Kim's not exactly known for his impulsiveness, and asking him to hand over his gun is about as likely to succeed as convincing a disco ball to stay still. Instead, weave a tale worthy of a traveling minstrel. Paint a picture of your detective skills going completely haywire without Kim's trusty firearm. Talk about the cosmic imbalance of a detective without a gun, the potential existential dread it might cause.

Remember, Kim is a sucker for a good story (and a little theatrics).
**Step 2: ** Embrace the Hand/Eye Coordination Challenge (or Pray to the RNG Gods)
QuickTip: Revisit posts more than once.![]()
Once you've beguiled Kim with your Shakespearean monologue, prepare for the real test: the Hand/Eye Coordination check. This, my friends, is not your average video game shooting gallery. It's a wobbly, hungover mess of a skill check, fueled by questionable life choices and a complete lack of sleep.
Here's the kicker: you only get one shot (pun intended) at this. So, channel your inner sharpshooter, focus your inner eye, and pray to the RNG gods that your bullet finds its mark.

Pro tip: If you're feeling particularly uncoordinated, consider saving your game before attempting this feat. Trust me, you'll thank yourself later.
**Step 3: ** Weather the Storm (and Kim's Disappointment)
QuickTip: Use posts like this as quick references.![]()
Even if your bullet finds its mark, prepare for the fallout. Kim won't be exactly thrilled that you turned his gun into a glorified slingshot. Expect some stern lectures about responsibility (and maybe a passive-aggressive comment about your questionable aim).
Just take it on the chin, apologize profusely (and maybe offer to buy him a drink later), and remember: a successful (or semi-successful) mission is better than no mission at all, right?
So there you have it, folks! Your comprehensive guide to borrowing Kim's gun in Disco Elysium. Remember, it's all about the right approach, a little bit of luck, and the ability to handle the consequences (both from the corpse and your partner). Now go forth, detective, and solve that case... just try not to get into too much trouble (or lose any more firearms) along the way!
