P-6 Gunslinger

Exchanges your standard Helldiver sidearm, the P-2 Peacemaker, with a heavy revolver. The aptly nicknamed 'Gunslinger' revolver might seem flashy, but packs a proper punch and comes with a built-in lasersight. Part of the Pistol equipment kit. Unlike normal weapons, the Gunslinger must be selected from the Perks menu and has no upgrade path.

Sidearms cannot be used while prone. However, the player can draw it automatically when mortally wounded by using the aiming controls (right analog stick or mouse). Keep in mind that it needs to be manually switched back to the primary weapon after dropping whatever the player was carrying or after recovering from mortal wounds.

Helldivers start with 4 magazines of Gunslinger ammunition, and can carry up to 8. Each magazine contains 6 rounds. If two or less rounds remain in the magazine, the 'low ammo' warning sound will play when the weapon is fired.

Reload time is always 2.5 seconds, whether the magazine has been fully emptied or not. The Gunslinger does not allow players to keep a round in the chamber if the reload before emptying the magazine.

Unlock Requirement
The P-6 Gunslinger is a DLC weapon, available at any rank to those who purchase the Pistol equipment kit.
