Why The Revolver Is Underrated (SCP: SL)

[@StarStalker28]

Pain XD I think they updated the shotgun a while back which changed how it worked. I used to be able to shoot MTF at gate B from gate A well! Guess it really is just for closer combat in the facility now...

[@dystome]

Pretty sure around after update 11 they nerfed it in range and damage

[@Enclave_Remnant]

I think you just need to switch out the choke for the extended barrel since it decreases the pellet spread instead of increasing it

[@ragingtoast]

Yo dude how do you make your game look like it has no shadows

[@toxicannon3670]

[@taramaforhaikido7272]

@@ragingtoast People that disable shadows are honestly missing the point of them. It's supposed to make things darker to make it more challenging. I'm very sure this person doesn't have a potato comp. It's basically cheating to disable shadows to get easier hits. I'd rather know I EARNED a kill then take the easy way.

[@onionman8088]

Completely agree, the revolver is amazing for human vs human combat. However, you do also have to consider it's effectiveness against SCPs. Its definitely sub-optimal fighting any SCP, though there's a reason you spawn with both the revolver and shotgun; one is a sidearm meant for medium-long range human vs human engagements, and the other is a primary weapon meant to deal a lot of damage up close.

[@dineez627]

What?! It headshots against zombies though. 😟

[@3DFella]

The thing with the revolver though is that the class that spawns with it also spawns with the shotgun, which is way more powerful and can shoot way faster, effectively making the revolver pretty useless unless you’re at long range combat on surface.

[@randomtexanguy9563]

@@dineez627 your shotgun can easily blast through zombies though

[@byfsox8571]

It can 1 tap scientists 👍

[@Overlordd_d]

The problem with the revolver isn't statistics, it's just adaptability. The E-11 can be used at virtually all ranges with little change in attachments vs the revolver which is outmatched at anything under high range, and SCP SL is a game where your close range 90% of the time

[@SwiftKraft]

revolver hipfire is surprisingly accurate, you can bodyspam someone fairly quickly at close range, but I would still recommend to use SMGs for close ranges, but the fact that it has the lowest TTK out of all the guns is just stupid

[@communismisgreat1482]

I mean I'm pretty sure if one person has a revolver and another has a pistol the dude with the pistol whould most likely win since higher firerate

[@SwiftKraft]

@@communismisgreat1482 The reason why people think guns with higher fire rate is better is purely because their aim sucks plus poor hit registration. SCPSL doesnt have any ping compensation, which is why the game is unplayable above 100ms

I play on mostly vanilla servers, so I never see the revolver all that much. The one time I've ever seen it used is when I was on the stairs of the intercom room and someone in the distance shot me with the revolver. I took out my own and shot back. ...Both of us were Chaos. We couldn't make out eachothers' classes because of the dim lighting.

[@wiredgod]

Hardest part - to get revolver and ammo for it (unless, you spawned as chaos or chaos has benn spawned already and dead)

[@SwiftKraft]

You can get revolvers by putting COM-15 or COM-18 on very fine in 914.

[@crimsonchips]

The revolver isn’t underrated it’s just never able to be used unless you are a 914 wizard you will never get it consistently (I don’t think the wiki or anything has a updated 914 guide) and when chaos does spawn there are 3 out of the 15 with marauder class. And chaos almost never spawns compared to mtf.

[@SwiftKraft]

That is another reason why you should abuse it if you find it lying around, if you are a person with a revolver and no one else has one, you can one tap them while they need time to kill you

[@crimsonchips]

@@SwiftKraftvery true likely underrated by many who haven’t seen it’s power or as you put it don’t trust their aim. I take back my comment thinking about how I do sometimes find it on the ground.

[@shibainu2528]

I think the revolver is a fun weapon to use, just a very powerful pistol. Only big issue that makes it "underused" instead of "underrated" is the actual usability of it. Think about it, you are in a facility adapted to MTF weaponry (9mm pistols, whatever caliber the rifles are) so you aren't going to find ANY revolver and AK / Logicer ammo around the facility unless a Chaos Insurgency wave spawns or someone makes it in 914 which decontaminates in 15 minutes, and you also may as well just upgrade to a facility rifle to make use of the ammo scattered around the armories and dead MTF. It's like the Alien Blaster from Fallout 4, without the proper perks, you can't switch the ammo type from the non-renewable alien energy cells to the human fusion cells. So you may as well just toss it and get some extra inventory space for that MTF Cadet rifle over there, it may have a sniper scope on it despite you being indoors but still.

[@KaijuG2]

to be honest revolvers only spawn when the rounds about to end since usually when chaos spawn its when most of the actual SCP targets have been wiped out. So its not like you can get much real experience with the gun. Unless if the server your playing on makes it so chaos are hostile to SCPs (Which is something that should be in the base game tbh) I also know about pears but I still think ALL chaos should be hostile.

It's a really good gun If you're not against someone with a double shot shotgun in a close range

[@maxtravisdavid5050]

Ahem movement that’s all I have to say

[@the_ch3mist]

I gotta disagree. The revolver is extremely hard to hit shots with even if you good with it. It's also incredibly hard to obtain with the only real way being from 914 unless you get a lucky marauder spawn, in which case you already have the shotgun which is incredibly good.

[@SwiftKraft]

The revolver is fairly consistent, its just the spread of the weapon is not as good, as stated in the video, 37.37 meters is where the revolver starts missing even if you are aiming at the exact center of the head, but that is about one corridor across. Which is good enough. Regarding obtaining the weapon, you are correct on this one, it is so rare to see a revolver, but it doesn't change the fact that given you have enough skill, you can one tap people (maybe not in the new balance patch). For the shotgun arguement, as I demonstrated in the video, the revolver has a better effective range than the shotgun.

Im an scp sl tryhard and I’ve played pvp with revolver a lot, its really good long range but thats it, the problem is that u don’t have a laser so u need to ads making u really easy to kill, revolver is just a bad version of the old usp

[@SwiftKraft]

In close range, hipfiring is surprisingly accurate when standing still, we can strafe between shots to increase survivability, and just aim for two bodysbots instead of one headshot, its pretty viable close range if you know how to play it right around a corner or sth

[@Stresenbear]

So basically, Revolver kills humans in one shot with good range, thus making it a good weapon

[@kaleflordofinganok7226]

Completely disagree. Revolver sounds good on paper but people aren't just going to stand still and let you shoot them (most of the time), it also lacks the ability to suppress an enemy due to its low mag capacity.

[@SwiftKraft]

That balances out the time to kill, which makes it somewhat viable in close quarters because of the two shot bodyshot kill. It can also effectively hit a headshot across 1 corridor, which is already pretty good considering the one shot headshot kill mechanic.
