→The .38 Revolver: removed duplicate period
(→The .38 Revolver: Removes humorous crossing out of mentions to .357, adds an additional subsection regarding the .357 revolver if you're a traitor. Also removes the crossed out sentences in Court Clerk that implied forging or otherwise fuddling with evidence for your advantage.) |

TRAC is useful with a tracking program, as you can tag a fleeing suspect and pinpoint them for a fairly long time. This turns your revolver into more of a utility tool, rather than a weapon to actually defend yourself. Hot Shot, on the other hand, WILL kill people, as it does brute equal to the burn damage a laser gun does, while also setting any targets on fire immediately. Combined with the spam-y nature of the revolver, any target of Hot Shot is likely to die and husk from burn, unless they have robust fire resistance or immunity. Iceblox is much the same, but it significantly slows people down, rather than set them alight. Note that cold damage is equally capable of husking, as it deals burn damage, too. | TRAC is useful with a tracking program, as you can tag a fleeing suspect and pinpoint them for a fairly long time.

If, for some reason, you obtain a speed loader meant for the Syndicate .357 revolver, you can use it on a modified .38 revolver, despite the speed loader holding 7 bullets and the Detective's revolver holding 6. This can help to alleviate the problems of bulky ammunition and slow reloading times. | If, for some reason, you obtain a speed loader meant for the Syndicate .357 revolver, you can use it on a modified .38 revolver, despite the speed loader holding 7 bullets and the Detective's revolver holding 6.

As mentioned at the end of the Forbidden Revolver, the .357 speed loaders are compatible with a modified .38 revolver. While you cannot buy the Syndicate .357 Revolver as a [[Traitor]], you can still buy the speed loaders for 2 TC each. As a result, stealing the revolver can prove to be a gambler's strategy. The .357 speed loaders fit in the Shoulder Holster and can be used to continuously top off the revolver to minimize the misfire chance. | As mentioned at the end of the Forbidden Revolver, the .357 speed loaders are compatible with a modified .38 revolver.

60 brute is nothing to laugh at, even when considering the armor that Security wears. Obtaining it does require breaking into the Detective's Office, stealing their locker, and breaking it open, or subduing the Detective to pry it from them unwillingly. However, the Detective's Office with no Detective on-board should have their sunglasses, as well as a Security radio headset and pepper spray in the locker: all useful things if you're one of the Syndicate's finest. And if you have to take the Detective out of action, you get your hands on a Bowman headset instead, Security access from their ID, their wooden baton, and whatever else they might have on them. While traditional officers might be more fruitful targets if you're taking the risk of assaulting an officer, the Detective has fewer options to defend himself, as well as fewer tools to instantly win a fight, or win one safely. A lethal ranged option keeps you away from stun batons, flashbangs, flashes, bolas, buckshot: anything Security might pull out to immediately stop you in your tracks. | 60 brute is nothing to laugh at, even when considering the armor that Security wears.

The Forensic Scanner begins the round in your backpack, and there is an extra located in your locker. It's good practice to take the extra and set it in the Security Office, in case other officers need it and you go missing. More can be printed at the Security protolathe once the appropriate research has been completed. In addition, said research also allows for the printing of Advanced Forensic Scanners, which offer more information, such as the location of the scan, as well as scanning quicker. | The Forensic Scanner begins the round in your backpack, and there is an extra located in your locker.
