my personal favorite is the Taigan. hits like a truck, automatic crits on burning targets alongside shooting incendiary/explosive rounds. I love that thing
I'm more partial to Cheetah. I love how it looks cuz it fits my personal aesthetics and my main Vs. And since I hate stealth I can just go in rocking and blasting away.
Aguilar’s revolver is my favorite. A silenced pistol that has a chance to proc poison on headshots. A damn fine piece of iron. And it just looks cool too with the engravings.
Mancinella (Aguilar’s pistol) mops the floor with these. Silenced, great base damage and range, 200% headshot bonus. Rook is underrated too with the stacking crit chance thing it does
6 shot capacity, at like the same damage that Her Majesty does. Idk why they didn't make it do more damage. You can just shoot twice with Her Majesty lol, and not need to worry about the reload. The amount of time this souped-up silenced Nova saves you isn't worth its much lower capacity and 10% less range. If you're using a Sandevistan, firing 2 headshots isn't really a problem Her Majesty both looks, feels and performs better as a stealth handgun, and you don't need to finish most of PL to access it.
My personal favorite is Mancinella. With 20 cool and certain perks, I can one shot most enemies inside and out of combat. Even if they don't die immediately, they get poisoned if I get a headshot. I have not used any other pistol after picking it up.
why is no one talking about Wilson's Lexington x-MOD2. That pistol is a so much fun to use. can wipe out an entire squad in stealth before they even realize somethings happening.
I've got a smart pistol with exactly the same stats as Skippy I hot on a random drop, but without him being in it. It's actually slightly better because of the open slot.
My favourite pistol specifically from PL is Pariah - not as good for stealth as Her Majesty, but it's better for general use since it's a Tech pistol while also being suitable for stealthy shenanigans.
@@khrisbatiste8822 - I'll need to check, but I think Her Majesty is the 2nd highest damage pistol from stealth; the only one higher is Pride because of the crit multiplier, on top of headshot and stealth multiplier - very silly damage scaling. Why I prefer Pariah is it's viable for stealth but being a tech pistol is more versatile than Her Majesty or Pride, penetrating cover and some slight AoE with bolt. It also has its normal burst when in combat which I'm quite fond of. I also use the new Achilles x-mod2 a lot and find nice synergy between a tech pistol and tech precision rifle - I just have a heavy bias for tech weapons in general. Prior to getting Pariah I think Chaos was still my most used weapon 🤣
I think what pisses me off the most about no more barrel mods on revolvers is the fact the RC-7 Dybbuk muzzle was literally made to fit on an Overture and now you can’t put it on because of this stupid change. Hope they undo this soon.
They finally realized that revolvers can't be silenced. When you fire a round, some of the gas from firing the round leaks out from the cylinder because it's not sealed. So a silencer on a revolver is useless. There's a silenced revolver in real life, but the tolerances are so tight it has to be serviced after every use
after killing hanson and you stick with MR hands Quest line , he will ask you to guarantee bennett will be the successor and give you an behaviourial imprint and a silenced revelover with 200 % headsht damage . as far as i know its the only silenced revolver ingame
Skippy is the goat. An update I haven't seen anyone mention is that if you return Skippy to whats her face you can get it back later without the AI. It's Skippy without Skippy and retains its headshot ability depending on your puppy loving choice.
Absolute best decision to ever make with Skippy, is to give it to Regina. Later, she gives it back after stating the creator of it wanted the AI component and not the gun. So you get the gun and all its overpowered abilities minus the annoying ai.
You can put supressors on gas seal revolvers such as the Nagant M1895. You just need a way to attach the supressor such as a threaded muzzle or by welding the supressor to the end of the gun.
That's why I feel the nova 100% should be able to accept a suppressor that one has no cylinder gap the cylinder is secured inside the gun quite well at least we got Aguilars (not sure how to spell it) nova that's apparently integrally suppressed some how haha
You are missing the point about the Nagant being suppressable. It only works because of 2 things. There's a complex mechanism that pushes the cylinder up against the barrel when the hammer is cocked. And special ammo that has the brass sticking out past the bullet and cylinder. So when cocked the brass is extended into the barrel eliminating the gap between them so there's no gas pressure or noise that can escape. 99.9% of revolvers are not suppressable.
Rogues Pride is now doing a great job replacing silenced revolvers for me, the only downside being that you can't take it with you in the final mission
Since we can't add upgrades to iconic weapons I mostly used knifes and random loot pistols for stealth. Her Majesty is good, but for some reason It doesn't suit me as well as old classic Liberty
Kurt hansens bald eagle pistol solos all of these guns together the headshot multiper is insane paired with the apogee sandy it launches enemy's back and blows their head off
I was very dissapointed with the Majesty pistol because i realized quickly its just a reskon of unity. Just has a silencer, addon at the bottom and a slight color change on the top.
I headcanon that V immediately got PTSD from when Dex did the same to them and V pictured themselves and Songbird in the netrunner twins’ position and immediately started to mistrust Reed.
This might be just me, but I don’t really like the smart weapons. I like to do the aiming myself. Although I do have this smart sniper rifle that only holds a single round and it is just devastating to anything it locks on to which does make it kind of fun. Especially considering I don’t really like the vast majority of sniper scopes in the game.
Laika was snubbed. I put zero perks into pistols and have 11 points of cool, and it still does more damage than anything but a shotgun or sniper rifle. Plus, every shot has a 2/3 chance to light someone on fire, and any shot against a burning enemy is a guaranteed crit. Ammo capacity is dogshit, but most things in NC are going down in 1-2 hits
At level 50-60 a random Nue I found is still better than her Majesty’s. Add Pax mod, some others, and a legendary Silencer and it packs around 110 damage w crazy stealth and headshot multipliers.
I agree. I have a Nue 5++ with a legendary Cestus for a silencer and with two mods on it it usually deals more damage than my 5++ Her Majesty. The only thing Her Majesty has over it is that you can optic camo get crit headshots in the middle of combat but I switch to Bald Eagle if I'm not in stealth so I don't really have a use for Her Majesty. I think if you get it as early as possible and upgrade it along the way it will be the best stealth pistol for a very long time
What's wild is that the Russian nagant 1895 is a revolver that can be silenced because the cylinder presses up against the barrel. Imagine 182 years and nobody bothered to make another revolver with that mechanism.
that is the reason why no one else has done it, the point of logistics is to simplify it not complicate. Hell the Russians tried to make other firearms to use that crappy cart and they couldn't get them past prototype. If you can't even make a gun that can pass Russian standards then you got a real crap gun.

One shot that's all I need-a dude that also uses that big ass sniper
its worse than taika now that they nerfed it, cant shoot through cover anymore. Replaced it with satara, undeniably best shotgun in the game

Ol Reliable best non stealth head popper
yeah but gun has no drip. I'd use it if it looked cool like Johnnys gun or Hansens gun
I still like the older iconic weapons most like Panams rifle or Silverhands pistol :D
Her Majesty is perfect for Moving Heat, Playing It Safe, Gimme Danger and every other mission where Stealth is optional.
Nothing beats the Malorian Arms
The reload is sweet to see too.

why is no one talking about Wilson's Lexington x-MOD2. That pistol is a so much fun to use. can wipe out an entire squad in stealth before they even realize somethings happening.
A fucking smart pistol? Fuck yes

But you can buy Nue pistol in any gun vendor, it has similar high damage like revolver, and also can put silencer on it as well
I used a Nue pistol though nearly my entire playthrough for stealth. That thing was *perfect*

Why does the first gun remind me of the first gun you get in Metal Gear Solid

The best stealth weapon is a good ol knife.
The best ones was a entire family of weapons that are supposedly banned for being inhumane. So naturally V uses them all
