Revolver

The Revolver is a Secondary Weapon that appears in both Blacklight: Retribution and Blacklight: Tango Down.

The Revolver in Blacklight: Retribution

The Revolver is a Secondary Weapon Receiver that is available in the Marketplace. Its GP-purchasable version unlocks at Agent Level 5, and it is also included as a 3 day item in the Reward Pack for that level.

Weapon Overview

A large double-action wheelgun harking back to the days of the American Wild West, the Revolver is one of the lowest capacity weapons in-game with a paltry 6 rounds within its cylinder; only the Bolt-Action Rifle carries fewer rounds in its magazines. To make up for this deficiency, however, the Revolver can deal out punishing amounts of damage, and two shots are enough to down any enemy at close range. Upon its first release, the Revolver dealt a staggering 150 damage per bullet, but has since been reduced to 125 damage per bullet as part of a weapon-balancing patch. The Revolver itself can be customized with Scopes and Revolver Mags.

Tactics

One of the most popular choices for a secondary weapon, the Revolver's greatest and most obvious strength is its sheer stopping power. Although recoil is relatively high for a pistol, the Revolver's rate of recovery is also quick, meaning that by the time you fire a shot off and reposition your sights, the gun will have already settled back into firing position, and will not hamper accuracy significantly.

An able backup for any Primary Weapon, the Revolver has only one key weakness; it's low Ammunition supply. There are no attachments avaliable for the Revolver that increase its Magazine capacity, so remember to make every shot count, lest you find yourself reloading in an awkward situation. Ideally, limit yourself to single, one-on-one engagements with the enemy; as in any tactical situation, remember to use your HRV often, and avoid small clusters of hostiles.

A hefty sidearm capable of putting out devestating amounts of damage at close to middle ranges, the Revolver is certainly a weapon to be feared on the battlefield.

Trivia

• The Revolver draws heavily from the designs of such firearms as the American Colt Anaconda and the Russian MP-412 REX, both of which are heavy framed pistols designed primarily for hunting. Their large calibres and reliability, however, have made such weapons popular among special forces and personal sidearms.
• The Revolver visually looks identical to the Dan Wesson PPC.
