This gun feels very similar to sniper rifles performance wise. Other weapons do the same job easier and better, ItS nOt MeTA. But it’s fun.

It hits like a truck, shoots slowly, and the reload can be punishing. You basically one-shot everything unarmored to the head until around round 45.

The akimbo version different. The listed damage is misleading, its upper chest damage. If you pull both triggers at once, you can still one-hit body kill until about round 35 (with the double standard augment). My issue is the huge bullet spread. It works, but since I go for headshots, I prefer single.

I like the weapon overall, and I think the single version is well balanced. With a single-action revolver you can’t push fire rate or mag size too far without breaking the feel, so I think they found a good balance for it to be a fun niche option. Like snipers, it’s not the easiest choice, but if you enjoy the style, you’ll have fun. Everyone else can safely skip it.

Tips & Tricks

Single revolver: use Fast Mag 2 to top ammunition the quickest. You can shoot the gun quicker than the recoil settles, you will not be able to see your target. Building into recoil can be beneficial. (see the second and third picture above)

Akimbo: reloads full mags instead of single bullets, so stock mag is best (reloads the most bullets in the shortest time).

Recommended Attachments

Single:

• Muzzle Brake
• CHF Barrel
• Fast Mag 2
• Ergonomic Grip
• Recoil Springs. (Helps reduce recoil so your sight picture settles before the next shot. You lose ~10% fire rate)

Swap in an optic if you like. On console, Strelok Laser is good for headshots.

Akimbo:

• Rapid Fire
• Steady Aim Laser
• CHF Barrel,
• Akimbo Stock,
• CQB Grip (faster sprint out).
