The W&S .44 Magnum is a unique pistol.

Description

A one-of-a-kind weapon, perhaps the only revolver in Underrail. One of the few .44 handguns along with the Wasteland Hawk and more common .44 Hammerers.

The Magnum's most notable trait is the 23% base critical chance, which is extremely high for any type of weapon and far higher than that of the high critical chance Falchion pistols. Its damage spread is much tighter than craftable .44 Hammerer pistols, leading to more predictable shot-by-shot damage. Its base AP cost is equal to .44 Hammerers, while its range and and magazine capacity are worse by 1 tile and 2 rounds. The unique Quick Draw special attack can easily turn into a free attack, since it requires only 20 initiative in order to bring its AP cost down to 0.

The Magnum is a powerful option for characters focused on pistols and available fairly early in the game, but killing Wyatt is the only way to acquire it.

Location

Carried by Wyatt deep inside Depot A.

Refurbishment

The weapon can be refurbished by Myles in Rail Crossing for 700 Stygian Coins. Cost can be reduced to 400 Stygian Coins by bringing him Pistol and Submachine Gun Technical Manuals, by Hugo Thompson or Old World Firearms, by Mikhail Browning.

Trivia

Based on the gun's name and appearance, it is an obvious reference to the Smith & Wesson Model 29.
