“A beautiful tool of righteous vengeance, or a curse to all good folk in the wrong hands.”

–Sheriff Bartlett's Journal

The Scorpion Revolver is a weapon featured in Red Dead Revolver.

Description

“	The 8-inch barrel gave this pistol an enormous stopping power with great accuracy. The specially designed grooves in the barrel along with lengthened .44 cartridge ammunition makes this weapon a formidable part of of one's arsenal.	„
	—Description in game manual

This is the best performing revolver in Red Dead Revolver, followed by the Inquisitor and the Widowmaker.

There are only two Scorpion Revolvers in the whole world, custom made by Nate Harlow and his partner Griff to celebrate their discovery of gold at Fallen Creek. The name "Scorpion" refers to the fact that the grip contains an emblem of a scorpion. The scorpion was chosen because it is the spirit animal of Chief Running Moon, the grandfather of Red Harlow.

The Scorpion Revolver is first used by Red in a cutscene from the opening mission "Bull's Eye". During this cutscene Red grabs the weapon, which has been engulfed in flames, resulting in the Scorpion emblem being seared into his palm. It is next seen in the mission "Battle Finale".

Acquisition

The player first acquires this weapon after completing the game on Normal difficulty. In subsequent games it will be available for selection at the start of any mission which presents a weapon selection screen. Red Harlow is seen taking the weapon in the final cutscene of the game and the player is officially awarded the weapon on the statistics screen at the end of "Fall from Grace".

Sheriff Bartlett's Journal
