The Smith & Wesson Model 29 is a six-shot, double-action revolver chambered for the .44 Magnum cartridge, manufactured since 1955. This large frame revolver offers excellent accuracy, firepower, and reliability. Multiple models remain available and quite popular in the wastelands, from the shortened 4 1/2 inch variant to the full size, high end monsters with scopes.[1] By default, the revolvers come with tritium illuminated sights.[2]
The Mysterious Magnum has been heavily customized and tuned to offer excellent performance and remain aesthetically pleasing. It features a polished silver frame decorated with floral engravings and a mother of pearl grip. Whenever someone uses this beautiful weapon, a mysterious tune can be heard in the background.
Characteristics
Mysterious Magnum expanded
A unique .44 magnum revolver with a much higher rate of fire, damage, and durability than the standard model. Like the original, it's one of the improved holdout weapons, which can be brought into restricted areas with 50 or more Sneak.
The Lonesome Drifter carries it. He is found east of El Dorado dry lake and north of the El Dorado Gas & Service, near a Sunset Sarsaparilla billboard. The player can procure it by stealing, killing, or passing a Barter check (50 required) while hiring the Drifter as part of the Talent Pool quest. The Drifter will keep the Magnum if he moves to The Tops and it can be procured there freely.
