.44 Magnum perk?

[Buttson 27]

Hello, just wanted to check without wasting a perk point, is the .44 magnum affected by the gunslinger perk?

 

Thanks

Yes, Gunslinger affects Pistols, Magnums, and the SMG.

Thanks, would be nice if they listed each weapon a perk affects, like the melee ones do.

well....a magnum is a pistol ain't it?

[gaffers 27]

Yes it is a pistol. As is an SMG. An AK 47, on the other hand, is a machine gun, and

 

oh wait

fair, unless you count them as calibers, which, makes it murky as well, so yeah, my bad =P Magnums are handguns as far as the game is concerned, smg's get shuffled into that as the midline because of caliber size (btw sn SMG is a SUB-machine gun so that "oh wait" thing is a little out of place, but I do concede I came off as a bit snide)

They all scrap to Handgun parts. 3 from pistol, 4 from SMG and Magnum. Perhaps that has something to do with it?

 

I think the Gunslinger perk is an artificial "grouping" meant to give the Agility tree access to a fair set of firearms.

 

I think better would be to put each weapon into more than one tree. So there will be some overlap, allowing you more freedom to choose a tree without limiting which weapons you want to specialise into as badly.
