The Revolver is a type of firearm featured in Dead Island and Dead Island: Riptide. It can be given out as a Quest reward, sold by select Merchants and found in Metal chests or on killed Zombies. It can also be found in places across Banoi Island.
Overview[]
Revolvers are one of the more powerful pistol variants available in the game, having damage on par or slightly higher than a Heavy Pistol but less than a Magnum. They also have quite good accuracy which allows them to fall into somewhat of a sniper role as far as pistols go. They are good for clearing out isolated Walkers or Infected, as well as killing Thugs quite well, which helps conserve ammo. However, they have quite a few drawbacks that prevent them from being as universal as a regular Pistol. They are only able to hold 6 shots, which is the lowest capacity of any pistol variant, being on par with the Magnum and 3 less than the Heavy Pistol. It also has a dramatically slow rate of fire due to the Heroes having to manually cock the hammer with each shot, which causes it to have an extremely low rate of fire. This prevents it from being good crowd control, and when coupled with the low magazine capacity as well as the slow reload due to not having a magazine, it means that the Revolver is a poor choice of firearm for close quarters use.
