The M36 revolver is a handgun chambered in .38 Special rounds. The weapon can be attached to a holster or double holster for quick access and weight reduction.

Usage

Pros Cons
  • Cannot jam.
  • Doesn't require magazines.
  • Quietest firearm in the game, zombies with default hearing only being able to hear it from up to 30 tiles away.
  • Highest accuracy of any handgun.
  • Lightest revolver.
  • Gun and ammo aren't too hard to find.
  • Best handgun for survivors with a low aiming skill.
  • Fairly low damage compared to other firearms.
  • Low round capacity compared to other revolvers.
  • Slower reload than a gun that uses magazines.

Reloading

M36 revolvers can hold 5 bullets. Like other revolvers, the M36 is incapable of jamming. The revolver can be reloaded with R. To avoid using the contextual menu in the inventory, the revolver can be reloaded, racked or unloaded by holding R and selecting the desired action.

Drive-by shooting

All guns have the ability to shoot from vehicles. First press V, which opens the vehicle radial menu and open your window. Aim and fire. Drivers and passengers are all able to use this ability at the cost of reduced accuracy while the vehicle is moving. The driver cannot control the vehicle while aiming, it's recommended to cruise at a safe speed and make sure there are no obstacles that can cause a crash while you're driving and shooting.

Condition

The M36 revolver is a firearm, therefore being influenced by the firearm skills: aiming and reloading. It has a maximum condition of 10 and will be damaged depending on the player's aiming skill. The chance of losing durability is: 1 in (60 + aiming x 2).

Repairing

The M36 revolver requires a minimum of 3 aiming, and another M36 revolver. The aiming skill determines how much will be repaired and chance of being successful.

It should be noted that repairing the gun makes following repairs less likely to succeed and can, if repaired numerous times, cause reduced durability instead of increased.

Location

The loot distributions can be found in the table(s) below.

Effective chance calculations are based off of default 'apocalypse' loot settings, with no luck modifier, and average zombie density. The higher the density of zombies in an area, the higher the effective chance of an item spawning. Chance is also influenced by the lucky and unlucky traits. Duplicate entries do exist, but have been removed for clarity.
