The Spy

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

Similar to the Frontier Justice, the weapon has the ability to store critical hits for later use, but as a result cannot deliver random crits. Also similarly to the Frontier Justice, the stored crits cap out at 35. A potential critical hit is stored for each enemy building that is destroyed while being sapped; 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.

It is awarded to players in Genuine quality to those that pre-ordered Deus Ex: Human Revolution before August 22, 2011.
