Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The R8 Revolver is unique as it is the only pistol in Counter-Strike: Source that cannot be bought on pistol rounds.
  2. 2
    It costs $850.
  3. 3
    The left-click firing mode has a 0.4-second firing delay, after which it fires a very accurate shot that can hit from about the same range as the Desert Eagle.
  4. 4
    The right-click mode immediately fires a quick shot that becomes very inaccurate over large distances.
  5. 5
    Gut shots with this gun are almost always one-hit kills, even with armor.
  6. 6
    However, the restrictive ammo pool (8/8) and low rates of fire make this gun more like a handheld AWP than an actual pistol.
Tips
  • Consider the R8 Revolver if you are willing to sacrifice firing rate for increased damage.
  • Be mindful of its limited ammo capacity.
  • The fanning mode (right-click) offers a faster but less accurate shot.
  • The primary fire mode (left-click) offers a slower, more accurate shot after a delay.
