Archangel is Kerry Eurodyne's personal revolver, a gift to V after the Samurai reunion gig. It is a fully automatic revolver. It fires in time with the beat of Samurai's song "Archangel". Hits in quick succession can knock enemies to the ground, and every round has a chance to Shock. A heavy revolver can therefore control a crowd like a much faster gun. Archangel is a mid-game reward from the side job A Like Supreme. That job follows Second Conflict in Kerry's storyline.
Combat
Archangel is unusual for a revolver because it fires full-auto. Holding the trigger empties the cylinder at a steady pace instead of one shot per pull. Its description says successive hits after short intervals knock enemies to the ground. A burst that keeps hitting one target can knock it down. The built-in Shock chance adds electrical damage and a chance to stun.
The headshot bonus is very high. A burst that climbs up into the head hits hardest. A knocked-down enemy is also an easy target for the next shots. Archangel works best at mid range against one dangerous target at a time, where every round of the burst can land.

Character Builds
Archangel works best in a Cool build. Focus adds headshot damage for revolvers and removes the Stamina cost of aimed shots at full Stamina. Deadeye adds more headshot damage. While Deadeye is active, Nerves Of Tungsten-Steel guarantees crits on headshots with revolvers. High Noon speeds up the next reload after a headshot kill. Quick Draw speeds up the swap to the revolver.
Archangel is a Power weapon, so the Ballistic Coprocessor raises the chance and damage of ricochets. Shock Absorber and Immovable Force both cut recoil, which keeps a full-auto burst on target. The Militech Apogee Sandevistan adds headshot damage while time slows.

Lore
Archangel is the Iconic variant of the Malorian Overture and the signature weapon of Kerry Eurodyne. Its description calls it an angel of a weapon with a devil's attitude. The gun takes its name from the Samurai song that sets the timing of its shots.
A Like Supreme is the night Samurai plays together again. After Second Conflict, Nancy calls V to say the band is ready for its reunion at the Red Dirt bar in Arroyo. V arrives in the evening, takes the pills in the bathroom and lets Johnny take over. Johnny then plays the gig on stage with Kerry. Afterwards the two talk at the bar, and V takes back control. Before he leaves, Kerry gives V his own revolver.
Notes
- Archangel has its own spot on the weapon wall in V's apartment.
