The '''Big Kill''' is a primary weapon for the [[Spy]]. It is a promotional weapon based on the oversized .44 Revolver used by Sam, the titular six-foot talking dog detective in ''[[wikipedia:Sam & Max|Sam & Max]]''. The Big Kill could be acquired by pre-ordering ''[[wikipedia:Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse|Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse]]'' or buying the game up to a week after release.

The weapon functions in exactly the same way as the standard [[Revolver]]. Therefore, the Big Kill is fairly accurate and deals moderate damage with some damage falloff with distance. Its primary purpose is to fend off enemies at range, or as a fallback weapon after an unsuccessful [[backstab]] attempt.
