The Diamondback is a promotional primary weapon for the Spy. It is styled after the Diamond Back .357 from Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
Similar to the Frontier Justice, the weapon has the ability to store critical hits for later use, but as a result cannot deliver random crits. Also similarly to the Frontier Justice, the stored crits cap out at 35. A potential critical hit is stored for each enemy building that is destroyed while being sapped by that Spy's Electro Sappers; the Spy does not have to earn credit for the destruction. As a drawback, the weapon delivers 15% less damage compared to the default Revolver. Any stored critical hits will be lost upon death and any buildings destroyed with the Spy's Electro Sapper attached while he is dead will not be granted to him upon respawn.
It is awarded to players in Genuine quality to those that pre-ordered Deus Ex: Human Revolution before August 23, 2011.

Update history
August 18, 2011 Patch (Manno-Technology Bundle)
- The Diamondback was added to the game.
Bugs
- The Spy does not earn any critical hits for sapped buildings destroyed with Diamondback shots that aren't stored critical hits.
- Destroying a building with the guaranteed crits from the Diamondback will earn another guaranteed crit; however, the counter will not increment to display this. Firing once will set the counter to the correct value.
- The Crits counter overlaps with the Cloak meter when using the Minimal HUD advanced option.
- Like the Ambassador, Enforcer, Big Kill and L'Etranger, the Spy does not actually put any bullets in the barrel while reloading, nor do any bullets eject.
- By switching primary weapons with a crit stored via the Civilian glitch, the Spy will have unlimited crits until death.[1]
