L'Étranger ([letrãʒe]Pronunciation) is a craftable primary weapon for the Spy class. It is a stylish Revolver with an ivory handle design.

This weapon deals 20% less damage than the default Revolver, making it unsuitable for direct conflict. On the other hand, a successful hit will fill the Spy's Cloak meter, regardless of which Invisibility Watch used, by 15%. Players can therefore use the gun to supply their Cloak enough to be able to perform an escape or traverse a guarded area.

Bugs

• Like the Ambassador, the weapon does not have a barrel modelled or textured, which can be seen during reload. Additionally, the cylinder does not rotate when fired and the bullets do not visibly exit the chamber (which is visible at a high viewmodel FOV setting) this issue, along with a lack of hammer movement upon firing is prevalent on both the Ambassador and Big Kill.
• The bullets chambered in the weapon do not line up with the weapons barrel.
• Like the Big Kill and Ambassador, the Spy does not actually "reload" this weapon. He simply flips open the cylinder and then closes it again. The bullets are not ejected or replaced and the Spy does not bring his hand up to reload the weapon.

Trivia

• L'Étranger is the French title of an existentialist novel, written by Albert Camus, in which an emotionally detached Frenchman murders an Algerian with a handgun.
• L'Étranger means "The Stranger" , "The Outsider" or "Abroad" in French, tying in with the Spy's mysterious nature and his roots to France.
• The weapon is modeled after the Nagant M1895 revolver. However, L'Étranger, like the Revolver and Ambassador, reloads with a speedloader and flip-out cylinder, whereas the actual Nagant uses an Abadie gate and hand ejector to load one cartridge at a time. Also, the Nagant has a 7-round cylinder, as opposed to the L'Étranger's cylinder holding 6, like the Spy's other revolvers.
• For crafting purposes, this weapon is in the secondary slot.
