Strategy

  • Although the Mauser is less powerful than other Guns like the Rifle or Shotgun, it still makes for a good sidearm in the event one needs to reload.

  • While the Mauser is a great Weapon, it does tend to eat through Ammo faster than other Revolvers. Fortunately, Revolver Ammo is easy to obtain if one has the Money for it.

  • The Mauser is great for dealing with weaker Enemies like Zombies, allowing players to save their Rifle or Shotgun, or for tougher enemies like Werewolves or Vampires.

  • Although the Mauser sells for Money, it isn't recommended to sell the Mauser because of it being better than the other Revolvers, mainly due to its high DPS.

Pros & cons

  • Deals more damage and has higher accuracy than the Revolver.

  • High magazine capacity (10).

  • Can be obtained as a Gamepass, allowing players to start with it every game for an early advantage.

  • Can easily kill weaker Enemies, with one shot potential on certain damage boosting Classes.

  • Start with an additional 10 rounds of Ammo.

  • Very fast rate of fire.

  • Very high burst damage potential. It does approximately 253.5 headshot DPS, making it the gun with the second-highest DPS in the game.

Patch history

  • The Mauser is based on the real world Mauser C96. The reason it can be found in America despite being a German weapon there is because a lot of C96 pistols were sold to Texas Rangers and Policemen.

  • After the remake, the Mauser bears resemblance to the M1932/M712 Schnellfeuer, a select-fire, detachable magazine version of the M30.

  • This makes the Mauser well out of Dead Rail's time period of 1899, as the Schnellfeuer was produced in 1932.

  • M1932 was an unofficial designation given by collectors; M712 was the designation given by the German Wehrmacht.

  • The Mauser has the fastest firerate in game if rapidly tapped/used in conjunction with an autoclicker.
