The '''C.A.P.P.E.R''' is a reskin of the stock pistol. Both having 12 rounds in the magazine, reserve ammo is based on the class you are playing and has the same bullet spread. The differences being that the C.A.P.P.E.R has unique sound FX that fits with the extraordinary design, the '''C.A.P.P.E.R''' being the stereotypical ray gun seen in a lot of cliché alien related movies.

The '''C.A.P.P.E.R''' has unique kill feed images seen in-game and has the unique trait of turning your victims into ash once you kill them with it. The '''C.A.P.P.E.R''' comes in 2 different corresponding colors, Blue and Red. If you are in team BLU your '''C.A.P.P.E.R''' will be blue with dark blue accents and if you are on team RED then your '''C.A.P.P.E.R''' will be orange with red accents. Instead of the basic cartridges that the stock pistol uses, the '''C.A.P.P.E.R''' has a uniquely made magazine that fires specially made high tech laser bullets.
