— The Spy gaining crits from sapped buildings
 ”

The Diamondback is a community-created promotional secondary weapon for the Spy. It is a futuristic metal revolver, styled after the Diamond Back .357 from Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Similarly to the Frontier Justice and the Manmelter, the Diamondback has the ability to store up to 35 critical hits for later use. One critical hit is stored for each enemy backstabbed, or for each building that is destroyed while being sapped (regardless of whether or not the Sapper is what actually destroys the building). However, any stored critical hits are lost upon death, and any buildings destroyed with the Spy's Sapper attached while he is dead do not grant any critical hits. In addition, the weapon's base damage is 15% lower than the Revolver, and it cannot roll for random critical hits. In Mann vs. Machine mode, sapped Robots do not grant critical hits upon their destruction, but can still be backstabbed to store a crit.

The Diamondback was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-purchased Deus Ex: Human Revolution on Steam before August 26, 2011.

The kill icon for the Diamondback was contributed by Ani .

Bugs

  • Players do not earn any critical hits for sapped buildings destroyed with non-critical Diamondback shots.
  • If a Spy performs backstabs or saps buildings with a different secondary weapon equipped, the crits are retroactively awarded as soon as the Spy switches to the Diamondback via a Resupply locker or by picking up a dropped Diamondback.
    • However, picking up another secondary weapon while having a picked up Diamondback results in the stored crits disappearing.[1]
  • Destroying a building with a guaranteed-critical Diamondback shot earns another guaranteed crit; however, the counter will display as having 0 stored crits. Firing once will set the counter to the correct value.

  • The crits counter overlaps with the Cloak meter when using the Minimal HUD advanced option.

Unused content

  • There are unused particles that resemble the particles used for Marked for Death.

Trivia

  • The Diamondback's design in Team Fortress 2 resembles how the Diamond Back .357 looks when it is upgraded with a Laser Sight and Explosive Rounds, instead of its default, unmodified appearance.
  • In Deus Ex: Human Revolution, the Diamond Back .357 uses a break-action reload system with a removable cylindrical magazine based on the Dardick Tround concept, and not the traditional swing-out revolving cylinder it uses in Team Fortress 2.

Gallery

  • RED first-person view.

  • BLU first-person view.

  • Promotional Steam pop-up for the Deus Ex items.

  • The Diamondback, as it appears in Deus Ex.
