NS-44L Showdown

The NS-44L Showdown is a sidearm available as part of the Common Pool. It is unlocked through purchase with A7 from the Black Market aboard Sanctuary.

The NS-44L Showdown sacrifices 50 RPM as well as the aimed accuracy and optics of the NS-44L Blackhand in exchange for greatly increased accuracy when firing from the hip, but gains 10 RPM compared to the Blackhand when firing while aimed. The Showdown does not have any bloom when firing from the hip. Aside from these differences, the Showdown and Blackhand are identical.

Trivia

 * Alongside the NS-357 IA and NS-AM8 Shortbow, the NS-44L Showdown was previously obtained randomly from winning alerts. The player would need to have participated in at least 90% of an alert, own the related weapon, and succeed against a "very, very, very low" chance of receiving the weapon. This was changed in the Escalation update.
