The Spy on the Saharan culture

L'Étranger is a craftable primary weapon for the Spy class. It is a stylish Revolver with a wooden handle design.


This weapon deals 20% less damage than the default Revolver, but instead fills the Spy's Cloak meter by 15% with each hit on an enemy. This applies to whatever type of watch being used by the player.

Trivia

  • L'Étranger is the French title of an existentialist novel, written by Albert Camus, in which an emotionally detached Frenchman murders an Algerian with a handgun.
  • L'Étranger means "The Stranger" or "The Outsider" in French, a reference to the Spy's mysterious nature.
  • The weapon is modelled after the Nagant M1895 revolver. However, L'Étranger, like the Revolver and Ambassador, reloads with a speedloader and flip-out cylinder, whereas the actual Nagant uses an Abadie gate and hand ejector to load one cartridge at a time.
