The Diamondback is a promotional primary weapon for the Spy. It is styled after the Diamond Back .357 revolver 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.

Update history
August 18, 2011 Patch (Manno-Technology Bundle)
- The Diamondback was added to the game.
- Fixed an infinite crits exploit using The Diamondback.
- Added draw/recoil forces for The Diamondback.
- Added crit fire force for The Diamondback.
- The Diamondback now correctly gets guaranteed crits if an Engineer changes class while their buildings are sapped.
- Fixed an exploit that gave a Spy infinite crits by sapping whilst being critboosted.
Bugs
- The Spy does not earn any critical hits for sapped buildings destroyed with Diamondback shots that aren't stored critical hits.
- Using the Diamondback or sapping buildings while under the effect of a Kritzkrieg can cause Kritzkriegs to stop working on the Spy until after a respawn.
- 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, Big Kill, and L'Etranger , the Spy does not actually put any bullets in the barrel while reloading, nor do any bullets eject.
- The chamber of this weapon does not revolve when it is fired.
