The Widowmaker is a promotional primary weapon for the Engineer. The Widowmaker is awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-purchase Deus Ex: Human Revolution on Steam before August 22, 2011.

This weapon uses the Engineer's metal in place of its own ammunition, with each shot costing 60 metal. Each point of damage done to an enemy with the Widowmaker is returned to the Engineer as metal, thus, removing the need to reload.
