The Diamondback is a promotional primary weapon for the Spy. It is styled after the Diamond Back .357 from Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Similarly to the Frontier Justice, the Diamondback has the ability to store up to 35 critical hits for later use but cannot deliver random Crits. 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 grant any Crits to him upon respawn.

The Diamondback was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-purchased Deus Ex: Human Revolution on Steam before August 26, 2011.

The kill icon for the Diamondback was contributed by Ani.

  • 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.
