Strategy

  • The Navy Revolver is an excellent weapon for the early game due to its damage, but gets outclassed by the Rifle in the mid-late game, so it's better to sell it if players have enough money to buy a Rifle (or already found one).

  • The Navy Revolver is good when it comes to killing any Zombies due to it being able to kill them with 2 headshots, compared to normal Revolver 3 headshots.

  • Jade Sword can kill the low health the Zombies get after 1 headshot to instantly kill them in a decently charged swing, and converting them to allies.

Pros & cons

  • Decent base damage - can kill multiple enemies (NPCs) with 100 health in two shots at close range.

  • Decent critical damage - can kill multiple vampires in two shots at close range.

  • Relatively common in many different buildings. Especially Gunsmith, Sheriff's Office and Outlaw Camp.

  • Always guaranteed to spawn at Safe Zone Gunsmith.

  • Always guaranteed to spawn at Fort Constitution.

  • Suitable for close and medium range shooting. But still decent for long ranges when aiming.

  • Very high DPS.

  • It can be resold for.

Patch history

  • In the real world, Navy Revolvers were revolutionary because of their lightweight construction and high rate of fire compared to previous Revolvers.

  • Realistically, the Navy Revolver(Before remake) is supposed to be a blackpowder Revolver which requires blackpowder, percussion caps and more which is instead replaced with Revolver Ammo in-game. This could imply that the Navy Revolver found in game has been converted to fire normal Ammo.

  • In Update 1/11/2025, the Navy Revolver was given a new model revamp alongside the animation revamp.
