Special Weapon Effects
It's a helluva thing... - +100% extra critical hit damage.

Usage & Description
In terms of raw power, the Unforgiven is the most powerful revolver available on Pandora. The Unforgiven has an extraordinarily low rate of fire, and excessive amounts of recoil. Critical Hit damage can be compared to even the strongest Sniper Rifles, as can the accuracy.

In a combat scenario the Unforgiven takes raw skill to use effectively, especially when only equipped with the 2-round cylinder. It's possible to use the Unforgiven as a Sniper Rifle substitute if it spawns with a scope. But to use it in typical revolver fashion is difficult. It should be noted that a missed critical hit in a low-health situation can be fatal to the user, as the delay between trigger pulls leaves a large window for enemies to exploit and retaliate. Use at close range is not advised to playstyles that don't favor accuracy.

Masher Variation
The Unforgiven sometimes spawns with a Masher accessory, a rare find treasured by most Vault-hunters. It combines good accuracy, incredible fire power, the shotgun spread effect and most importantly, phenomenal critical hit damage should all 7 projectiles hit their mark. Few enemies on Pandora, Badasses included, can survive a full critical hit from an Unforgiven Masher.

Notes & Trivia

 * All revolvers have a hidden +100% damage modifier. The Unforgiven's +100% modifier brings the total damage up to +200%.
 * The only legitimate prefixes for the Unforgiven are Bloody, Primal, Savage, and Stabilized.
 * The red text and gun name is a reference to the film Unforgiven, which has the quote "It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have."

Mechanics
The part the Unforgiven gets its effect from is the barrel. It is based off of. It packs more damage at the cost of fire rate and recoil.
