The '''R8 Revolver''' is a double-action [[Weapons|revolver]] available to both teams in [[Counter-Strike 2]]. It shares its equipment slot with the [[Desert Eagle]] and offers massive damage at the cost of a unique trigger delay mechanic that makes it challenging to use effectively.

The '''R8 Revolver''' is a high-damage revolver with a unique trigger delay mechanic. It deals massive damage but requires pre-aiming due to its wind-up.


== Overview ==
== Overview ==
At $600, the R8 Revolver is cheaper than the [[Desert Eagle]] and deals even more damage per shot (86 base damage). Its primary fire mode has a distinctive trigger delay: pressing the fire button cocks the hammer, and releasing it fires the shot. This delay requires players to pre-aim and time their shots precisely. The secondary fire (fanning) shoots instantly but with drastically reduced accuracy.
The R8 features a primary fire with a short delay (wind-up), dealing 86 damage — enough to two-shot kill armored enemies to the body. The secondary fire is instant but highly inaccurate.
 
Despite its impressive damage numbers, the R8 Revolver is rarely seen in competitive play due to the trigger delay, limited ammo, and the fact that the [[Desert Eagle]] offers more consistent and immediate results.

== Usage Tips ==
* The primary fire has a '''trigger delay'''. Hold the fire button and release to shoot. You must pre-aim your target.
* '''Secondary fire''' (right-click) shoots instantly but is highly inaccurate beyond point-blank range.
* The R8 Revolver can '''one-shot headshot''' helmeted opponents and deals devastating body damage.
* With only '''8+8 rounds''', ammunition is extremely limited.
* The trigger delay makes the R8 Revolver best suited for '''holding angles''' where you can pre-aim common positions.
* Most competitive players prefer the [[Desert Eagle]] for its instant fire and more reliable mechanics.
* The R8 was infamously overpowered on release in CS:GO, but has since been heavily nerfed.
