Speak Softly. Carry This. – Increased damage and accuracy. Reduced fire rate and reload speed. +55% Critical Hit Damage.
Usage & Description
With its special effects, the Damned Cowboy should be used more like a medium-range sniper rifle than a regular assault rifle.
The Cowboy is a reserve weapon; for slowly chipping away at very tough enemies like Saturn or Constructors. It should not be used against multiple targets, or in a situation where a weapon that can kill quickly or has a fast fire rate is needed.
Despite the increase in damage, the Damned Cowboy can be outperformed in damage output by other Jakobs assault rifles of equal or higher rarity with a faster fire rate.
Notes
The standard prefix name for this weapon is "Sir Hammerlock's", but the prefix will be replaced if the weapon spawns with an accessory.
Trivia
The red text is a reference to U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt's foreign policy ("speak softly and carry a big stick").
The weapon's name is a reference to one of Roosevelt's contemporaries, U.S. Senator Mark Hanna (R-OH), expressing his displeasure that a man with policies like Roosevelt's had won the presidency.
