The L'etranger also adds 15% cloak to your cloak meter every time you shoot someone with it, at the cost of it doing 20% less damage compared to the vanilla Revolver.

It isn't in the description yet.

Pronunciation?

Could be a helpful tip for those curious about the name. Would it be "Le-tron-je?" Magma Spire 00:59, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Lay-tron-jay, there's supposed to be an accent on the e, as in L'Étranger --Firestorm 01:03, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
even that makes me cringe, but i think its the best english equivalent without using http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IPA_for_English which most people don't understand anyway. i could do a sound recording of how it's pronounced, but i just have high school french under my belt, so it still wouldn't be 100% accurate, is there any way we could grab someone who speaks it fluently to to a 1 second sound snippet with how it should be spoken?

What's wrong with lay-tron-jay? I too have high school French and that's how I thought it was --Firestorm 15:46, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
I'm being informed by the more Frenchily inclined that there is a slightly different way of pronouncing it, I'll see what I can do. --Firestorm 15:58, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
It would be more like Lay-tron-zyay --Tinker 16:03, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

-zyay? Why the Z? -- Vi3trice (talk) 16:09, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
Because there's a noticable Z in front of the yay. In French, -ger almost always becomes -zyay. If you want to be 100% sure I could probably check a dictionary later. --Tinker 17:20, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
