Don't test my metal, son!
The Engineer on getting bullets from metal

The Widowmaker is a promotional primary weapon for the Engineer. It is a futuristic tan Shotgun styled after the Widowmaker TX, a weapon available in Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

This weapon uses the Engineer's metal as its source of ammunition; each shot fired will consume 60 metal, making for a maximum of 3 shots able to be fired without additional metal, with no requirement to reload. Each point of damage done to an enemy player or building with the Widowmaker is returned to the Engineer as metal.

It is awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-purchase Deus Ex: Human Revolution on Steam before August 23, 2011.

Update history

August 18, 2011 Patch (Manno-Technology Bundle)

  • The Widowmaker was added to the game.

Bugs

  • Damaging multiple enemies with a single shot will give an incorrect amount of metal back to the Engineer. The amount is usually the equivalent of one or two pellets of damage (3-18) rather than the total damage of the attack.
  • Occasionally the metal gained does not match the damage dealt to a single target. It is unrelated to the above bug.
  • The small size of this weapon causes the Engineer's finger to extend slightly beyond the end of the barrel.
  • The Engineer's thumb clips above the trigger in both the client and world views.
  • The sound effect for pumping a Shotgun plays upon drawing the weapon despite the Engineer not doing so.
