The Spy on the Saharan culture

L'Étranger (Pronounced Lay-tron-jay) is a craftable primary weapon for the Spy class. It is a stylish Revolver with an ivory handle design.


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

Trivia

  • L'Etranger 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'Etranger 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. Also, the Nagant has a 7-round cylinder, as opposed to the L'Etranger's cylinder holding 6, like the Spy's other revolvers.
  • Technically, L'Etranger should have an accent on the first E (L'Étranger) due to its translation from French to English.
