”

L'Étranger (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, it fills the Spy's Cloak meter, regardless of which Invisibility Watch used, by 15% with each hit on an enemy. Players can therefore use the gun to supply their Cloak enough to be able to perform an escape or traverse a guarded area.

Although the weapon is used in the primary slot and craftable as a primary weapon, the Mann Co. Catalog lists it as a secondary weapon. Crafting with the weapon also treats it as secondary.

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, a reference to 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'Etranger's cylinder holding 6, like the Spy's other revolvers.
• Like the Ambassador, L'Etranger does not have a barrel modeled 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).
