The R.357 (Taurus Raging Bull Revolver .357 Magnum) is a Medium class revolver designed to deal high damage per shot and very high headshot damage at close to moderate distances.

Usage

The R .357 can be selected as the weapon of any Medium build loadout.

The trigger can be pulled to fire one bullet that damages an opponent, also dealing additional damage on headshots. The trigger must be released before firing again. Aiming down sights increases the R .357's accuracy. Moving decreases accuracy, especially when going airborne.

The weapon automatically reloads when its magazine is empty, or the user can do a tactical reload before this point. The user has unlimited spare ammunition.

Properties

Weapon

Ranged — Strikes targets by aiming and firing at them from a distance.

Single Fire — Fires once when the trigger is pulled. The trigger must be released before firing again.

Aim Down Sights — Has iron sights and optical sights that significantly increase accuracy when used.

Full Reload — Replaces the entire magazine in one animation on reload.

Unstable Accuracy — Suffers a significant decrease in accuracy while moving and while airborne.

Bullet

Hitscan — Travels in a straight line, meaning there is no bullet drop. The direction will deviate from the crosshairs depending on accuracy.

Critical Hit — Critically hits on headshots, applying a damage multiplier.

Mid Range Falloff — Deals reduced damage when hitting targets at a moderate distance (falloff starts at less than 30m).

Minor Structure Damage — Damages structures. Takes a very long time to break a concrete wall.

Guide

Strengths

• The R .357 has a very strong headshot multiplier, dealing double the damage of a body shot.
  • Headshotting a Light contestant leaves them with 2 hp.

Weaknesses

• The R .357's small magazine size makes missing a shot very punishing.
• The R .357's damage falls off severely at moderate to long distances.
• The iron sights on the R .357 offer limited visibility, but using them is mandatory to have any accuracy.

Tactics

• The R .357 has strong hipfire accuracy at close range, but aiming down sight is recommended for longer-range engagements.
• The magazine of the R .357 should be topped up whenever possible. One bullet missing in the magazine could mean the difference between winning or losing an engagement.

Hitscan

• When the weapon fires a shot, a target is scanned for using a hitscan. This is a detection mechanism that scans in a straight line, meaning there is no bullet drop. The direction of this line will be deviate randomly from the direction of the crosshairs, depending on the accuracy level at the time of firing.

• Immediately, the closest contestant, structure, object or shield intersecting the hitscan will be tagged as being struck. First, a bullet tracer animation quickly travels from the weapon to the hit location, then its effects are applied. This means it is possible for targets to be struck a few frames after they appear to take cover, as the hit is confirmed the moment the weapon is fired.

Item Mastery

Item mastery XP can be earned by damaging and eliminating opponents with the R .357.

Trivia

• The R .357 exists in real life as the Taurus Raging Bull, a revolver manufactured by Taurus International, a Brazilian arms conglomerate, since 1997.
  • See also: List of Gun Origins.
  • The "R" in R .357 stands for "Revolver".
  • The .357 in R .357 refers to a .357 Magnum, a cartridge commonly used in revolvers. However, the R.357 fires .44 Magnum, matching its real life counterpart.
    • During beta testing, the R.357 had a different model, being modeled after the Colt Python which is appropriately chambered in .357 Magnum. However, with the model change to Taurus Raging Bull, the weapon's name was not changed to reflect the appropriate cartridge.
• The R.357 was first seen in the full first trailer for THE FINALS, which was released on September 27, 2022.
