Crash is River Ward's revolver, a gift from the NCPD detective after V helps him close the Peter Pan case. It is a revolver that can switch to a controlled full-auto mode. Aiming for a moment charges the gun. It then fires the whole cylinder on its own while the trigger is held. Lower recoil keeps those rounds on target. It works best for a Cool gunfighter who wants a revolver that can also empty fast. Crash is a mid-game reward from the side job Following the River, the end of River Ward's storyline in the Badlands.
Combat
Crash fires like a normal revolver from the hip. Its special effect starts when aiming down the sights. After a short charge, the revolver switches to full-auto. It keeps firing while the trigger is held, until the cylinder is empty. The Iconic effect also reduces recoil, so the burst stays tight.
Crash can therefore handle different situations. Single aimed shots still benefit from the high headshot bonus. A charged burst can finish a target at mid range or punish an enemy who leaves cover. Like every Power weapon, its rounds can ricochet off hard surfaces.

Character Builds
Crash works best in a Cool build with revolver perks. Focus removes the Stamina cost of aimed shots at full Stamina and adds headshot damage. Deadeye adds more headshot damage. While Deadeye is active, Nerves Of Tungsten-Steel guarantees crits on revolver headshots. High Noon speeds up the next reload after a headshot kill, which matters on a gun that empties its cylinder quickly. Long Shot keeps damage high at range during Deadeye.
For cyberware, the Ballistic Coprocessor raises ricochet chance and damage with Power weapons. Shock Absorber lowers recoil further. The Militech Apogee Sandevistan slows time and adds headshot damage, which works well with a fast burst.

Lore
Crash is the Iconic variant of the Malorian Overture and the signature weapon of River Ward. Following the River comes after V and River close the Peter Pan case together. River invites V to a family dinner at Joss's place. After the meal, he takes V up the nearby water tower to enjoy the view. There he hands over his revolver in gratitude, saying he has held on to it for too long.
Notes
- Crash has its own spot on the weapon wall in V's apartment.
