The following are the four alternative ammo types for the .38 Revolver. All the .38 variants retain the 35 stamina damage:
The following are the four alternative ammo types for the .38 Revolver:
*'''.38 TRAC:''' Does 10 brute damage, implants targets with a tracking beacon, if they don't already have one. Only lasts for fifteen minutes, and cannot be teleported to. Printed at the Office protolathe.
*'''.38 TRAC:''' Does 10 brute damage and 35 stamina damage, implants targets with a tracking beacon, if they don't already have one. Only lasts for fifteen minutes, and cannot be teleported to. Printed at the Office protolathe.
*'''.38 Hot Shot:''' Does 15 brute damage, ignites carbon targets. Printed at the Armory protolathe.
*'''.38 Hot Shot:''' Does 15 brute damage and 0 stamina damage, ignites carbon targets. Printed at the Armory protolathe.
*'''.38 Iceblox''': Does 15 brute damage, freezes living targets. Printed at the Armory protolathe.
*'''.38 Iceblox''': Does 15 brute damage and 0 stamina damage, freezes living targets. Printed at the Armory protolathe.
*'''.357:''' Does 60 brute damage, has a chance to misfire. Individual bullets printed at a hacked autolathe. Must modify the revolver to use .357 (see next section).

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.
