Wikia

The Revolver is a firearm featured in Dead Island. It may be one of the first guns the player finds on the island, if they're willing to explore, and do side missions.

It should be noted that the revolvers found in-game are single action, meaning that the hammer has to be pulled back after every shot, drastically reducing the weapon's rate of fire.

LocationsEdit

ResortEdit

One can be found inside of the beach bar with the Thug near it. The bar is located at the center of the Diamond Bungalows area, along with 15 rounds (at times, less can be found).
One can be found inside of the Bungalow 13 at the Hotel Bungalows area by the body of a dead man on a couch.
It is a quest reward for escorting Omar Torres in the side quest "Omar Escort". (It has been reported that at times you do not get a revolver but instead receive either cash, or a melee weapon.)
Just like other firearms, they have a rare chance to spawn in metal chests.
Sometimes it can be found when inside of the Hotel, dropped by zombies or in metal chests.

MoresbyEdit

One is lying on the floor in the coffee shop south of the Warehouse where you find Simon Buchanan and other survivors. (Note that it may respawn if you fast travel to the Resort and back to the Warehouse.)
Just like other firearms, they have a rare chance to spawn in metal chests.
The metal box next to the pump station is known to have a chance to spawn a Revolver or Magnum.

JungleEdit

Just like other firearms, they have a rare chance to spawn in metal crates.
A blue rarity Magnum is given as a quest reward from "Scientist" in the Laboratory upon completion of the quest "Rotting Flesh".

Merchants will have revolvers to trade.
Just like other firearms, they have a rare chance to spawn in metal crates.

AmmunitionEdit

Jose Garcia will be trapped behind a fence in the Bunker 06. Kill the zombies trying to get to him and he will reward you with 30 rounds of ammo.
Some ammo can be found on the passenger's seat in a damaged police car near the Hotel, on the way to the nearby tunnel that leads to the Lighthouse Gas Station.
There is a box of ammo in the Old Marina Workshop.
Later on the easiest way to obtain ammunition for the pistol is trading or creating it with the Pistol ammo recipe, or killing human opponents that carry handguns.
