Patrick's revolver, ready for action.
The revolver is the most basic of firearms. Along with the Gel'ziabar Stone, it's one of Patrick's personal possessions that he brings with him to the Covenant Estate.
The revolver is useful because it holds six bullets, allowing you to put a lot of fire on an enemy target quickly. The gun doesn't have enough power to kill much more than the weakest of enemies, but it can be applied to a number of situations such as puzzles for activating mechanisms. Its bullets can ricochet off from surfaces to hit out of view enemies. The only enemy to wield revolver is Trsanti Warriors and they tend to utilize ricocheting bullets when you try to take cover.
The pistol uses both normal bullets and silver bullets. Silver Bullets reload slower but three times more effective than normal bullets and has a nice impact on magic based creatures such as Verago and Skarrow. Shooting a monster in the leg or stomach is much less effective than shooting it in the head regardless of their type and magic creatures tend to completely ignore regular bullet damage at Nightmare difficulty.
It's possible to put down skeletons without using Invoke spell by headshotting them with silver bullet loaded revolver as well. In Normal difficulty, they take quite a few regular bullets to head while it's easier to load up silver bullets to put them down. At Nightmare difficulty however they completely disregard regular bullet damage and will force you to use Invoke in the end.
