Similar to the [[Frontier Justice]], the weapon has the ability to store [[critical hit]]s 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 Sapper]]s; 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.

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 26, 2011.

The kill icon for the Diamondback was contributed by Ani.

Update history

August 18, 2011 Patch (Manno-Technology Bundle)

  • The Diamondback was added to the game.

August 23, 2011 Patch

  • Fixed an infinite crits exploit using The Diamondback.
  • Added draw/recoil forces for The Diamondback
  • Added crit fire force for The Diamondback

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.

Gallery

  • RED first-person view.

  • BLU first-person view.

  • The Diamondback, as it appears in Deus Ex.

  • Promotional Steam pop-up for the Deus Ex items.
