What's the point in this new revolver when there's already a tier 2 Python with the same damage etc but higher fire rate? I'm guessing it'll be further up in the tech-tree than the Python?

[@FathernBob]

I'm thinking they might up the damage on the six shooter, or make it tier 1, if neither of those things happen it'll never get used

[@activatewindows]

There is no point.

[@activatewindows]

The only difference I can imagine is that you can put attachments on the Python and not this, maybe? Even if that’s true, still pointless.

[@gingershrimp4024]

They should up the damage and recoil and make it shoot rifle ammo

my guess is python will go up to military grade and become uncraftable, in order to nerf turret. so new one gonna take the place of python revolver in T2

ok the "high caliber" revolver really looks like it should be shooting 5.56 ammo. it even spews out of the revolver when reloading at 1:28. that would be quite fun

More expensive to craft than python, for less fire rate and same damage

While we're at it, AK, Bolty and L96 should have to use a new 7.62 round. OR they could instead rename 9mm to be a generic "Pistol Ammo" and 5.56 a generic "Rifle Ammo" instead.

I haven't been on rust in like a year and a half. Last thing I remember is rust wall skins

[@Glutzz]

Oh man, you’ve been out of Rust for a bit then! Since the days of wall skins, there’s been a ton of updates. The game’s been constantly evolving with crazy new features. You’ve got updates like the "Lighting The Way" patch, which overhauled how lighting and electricity work, adding more depth to base building with electrical systems. Plus, they've tweaked the loot system, added new monuments, and revamped a ton of existing features to keep the gameplay fresh. They’ve also expanded on farming with new items and mechanics. The gunplay’s been fine-tuned too, so PvP feels snappier and more dynamic, which might be a surprise coming back into the game after a year and a half. If you’re into base design, you’ll love the new deployables and traps. There are also more plugins and mods for private servers that completely change the dynamic-everything from custom loot tables to crazy events. You’ll have a blast diving back in, especially since you can now get even more creative with base defenses and raiding tactics.

[@jamezyjames6880]

The high caliber revolver (HCR) should be shooting the rifle rounds with a cylinder that long and with those spent cartridges. Also, it kinda bugs me that there is no animations "yet" for the hammer and cylinder, I really hope they plan on adding those. Here's my 2 cents for balancing between the HCR and Python: First, keep the fire rate about where it is, if not a little slower for HCR. Second, increase the damage from 55 to 60 or 65 for HCR. Third, swap the ammo from pistol to rifle for HCR. Forth, decrease the round capacity from 6 to 5 and change the cylinder model to resemble 5 round instead of 6 round capacity. (Or to decrease extra work, write in the item description "As told by the old horse herders (or horse F***ers), you keep the first chamber empty - something about blowing off your leg?). Explanation: old revolvers were not "drop safe" and would discharge a round if something hit or slammed the hammer hard enough. Fifth, make the HCR a tier 2 and change the python to tier 3 or uncraftable (If python is made uncraftable, increase the damage to 60). Sixth, increase the range and accuracy of the HCR to match half of the stats for the SAR. Final, Increase the damage drop-off the further the round is shot to prevent another SAP sniper situation.
