Overview:
PROS:
- High Damage
CONS:
- Attack Slowly
- Reloads Slowly
- Small Magazine
- High Ammo Cost
TACTICS:
Slow but powerful, the Death Adder can bring down most similarly-leveled zombies with just one shot. However, its relatively slow attack speed, combined with a small and slowly reloaded magazine, makes its wielder highly vulnerable to being swarmed. Carefully timed manual reloads and backup from other survivors are highly recommended.
Recommended gear:
- Ammunition Pouches/Bandoliers greatly speed up its slow reload, reducing the amount of time its wielder is left vulnerable.
- Extended Mags allow it to fire more of its high-powered rounds before needing to reload, with some variants also speeding up the reload slightly.
BACKGROUND:
One of the biggest arrivals to the large-caliber revolver market is a hefty hand cannon cosmetically similar to its .357 cousins, but chambered to fire the .45 ACP round. It is a mean and accurate man-stopper with undeniable presence, despite lacking the range and power of a Magnum pistol.
A powerful handgun sold throughout North America.
