“

I'm a killer of men, doc. That is the God's-honest truth. Click to listen — The Engineer

”

The Widowmaker is a promotional primary weapon for the Engineer.

This weapon uses the Engineer's metal in place of its own ammuntion, with each shot costing 60 points of metal. However, each point of damage done to an enemy is returned as metal to the Engineer. As such, the Widowmaker does not need to be reloaded.

The Widowmaker is awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-purchase Deus Ex: Human Revolution on Steam before August 22, 2011.
