Magnum

The Magnum is the most powerful semi-automatic Secondary weapon available, added in Pre-Release.

Overview
Due to the Magnum's high damage output and accuracy, it is considered the most powerful Secondary in the game if used properly. It is capable of killing a healthy enemy with 3 or 4 shots.

The Magnum holds six bullets and has a slow fire rate. While the critical chance is 50%, it isn't as high as the critical chance for the Pump-Action Shotgun or Sawed-Off Shotgun in close combat. However, its high chance of knockback coupled with its damage gives it an edge at medium and long range combat.

Strategies
Similar to the Sniper Rifle, the magnum has a slow recovery, meaning that you cannot sprint immediately after shooting. Be careful in close combat, because if the enemy dodges, they can have a chance to disarm you while you recover. Also, there's 50% chance that your shot will not be a critical, leaving you vulnerable.

Because of the Magnum's high critical chance, you can use this weapon to knock enemies off ledges. Also, shooting an enemy in repeated succession would ensure minimal retaliation, as the knockback would disrupt the enemy before they would be able to fire back.

Acquiring laser-sights would make the Magnum a perfect long-range "sniper". Though it would lack the damage of a normal sniper, it can prove to be more useful by knocking enemies off ledges at a range.

The Magnum can also be use as a sort of sniper
