The Pixel Gun or the Pistol is a [[::Category:Backup|Backup]] weapon that can be used in all modes except for weapon specific maps and modes in Pixel Gun 3D. It is one of the 7 default weapons along with the Shotgun, Combat Knife Sniper Rifle, Flamethrower, Signal Pistol, and Machine Gun.

Description

The Pixel Gun is a medium-sized silver pistol. It has dismal performance at max level. It deals a very low amount of damage, has a normal fire rate, a mediocre capacity, and lower than average mobility. It features single shot action.

Appearance

The Pixel Gun has a leather strapped handle, a chrome frame, and a chrome slide. The slide moves backwards when firing. Looks like a revolver.

Strategy

Tips

• Hit targets in the head as much as possible to maximize damage and minimize ammo use.
• This weapon is good in the Deadly Games due to the good range and decent headshots.
• It is recommended to only use this weapon if you don't have a better backup since it is significantly weaker than virtually every Backup weapon.

Counters

• Attack from either long ranges or close. Take cover or move unpredictably when being attacked.
• If possible, go in with a primary weapon and move side to side to dodge the bullets.
• The weapon has a distinct noise. Hunt down the user by following the damage indicators.

Supported Maps

• In very low levels: most small maps such as Silent School.
• All levels: Deadly Games.

Weapon Setups

Normally, use weapons from other categories (such as the machine gun) and use this if you run out of ammo.

History

“	Good old classics. It isn't very accurate, still very good for understanding the game.	”

Trivia

• You can see a red sketch board with the gun on it in the map War of Toys.
