.44 Desert Vulture is an Agility-based Tier 3 Handgun succeeding the .44 Magnum in 7 Days to Die.

In-Game Description

This heavy pistol uses .44 Magnum ammo.

Repair with a Repair Kit.
Scrap to Handgun Parts.

Overview

The .44 Desert Vulture is a short to medium range semi-automatic handgun, which can be crafted or found throughout the world in containers, such as weapon bags, gun safes, toilets, and loot bags. It is the single shot, high damage alternative to the SMG-5.

The .44 Desert Vulture requires .44 Magnum bullets and will hold 8 bullets. It reloads automatically, provided the correct Ammunition is available. It can also be reloaded manually at any time using the reload key (defaults to R) provided the magazine is not full.

Combat

The .44 Desert Vulture is step up from the .44 Magnum and is capable of dispatching some Ferals with a single shot. It carries many of the same traits as its predecessor and, as such, players focused on a stealth build (Hidden Strike and From The Shadows) can still use the Silencer Mod to quietly clear out a Point of Interest (POI) without being overwhelmed, even high tier POIs on high difficulty settings. The added bonus of being able to equip a Magazine Extender Mod allows the player to deal with larger groups compared to the .44 Magnum. However, due to its relatively low magazine capacity even with the mod, .44 Desert Vulture is still unsuitable for crowd control, especially during Blood Moon Hordes.

Notes

• The game code rounds down for integer values (after calculations) and therefore sets the magazine size to 8
  • Due to the fact the in-game code sets the magazine size to 8.8, the Magazine Extender Mod will increase the magazine size to 13 rather than 12 (8.8 x 1.5 = 13.2 => 13)

• The in-game model resembles the Desert Eagle but the in-game name does not directly use the actual name unlike the AK-47 Machine Gun or M60 Machine Gun
