"Big Tony says "Hi""

Important Note

Please note that with the recent implementation of DLC3, a patch was released that removes the Pearlescent status of this weapon. It is now any shade of orange.

The Thanatos

The S&S Thanatos Pistol is a pearlescent, fully automatic pistol, with a very large magazine.

Examples are on the talk page.

Common Special Effects

  • Big Tony says "Hi" - Extended magazine

It can seemingly be any element, and some models shoot 2 bullets at once, and others have scopes. It can also come with an attached blade to increase melee damage.

Types

This gun also has two main types cold and vile in which vile has a lower fire rate, accuracy, and power than the cold.   There is also a "Double Thanatos," which shoots 2 or more bullets per shot, a "Stabilized Thanatos," which has higher accuracy and lower recoil, and a "Fanged Thanatos" with +100% melee damage. There are also types for each element with varying elemental power (x1,x2, and maybe x3 or x4, not confirmed yet though). There is also the "Scoped Thantos" just referring that it has a scope.

Trivia

  • Controversial pseudo-rarity Pearlescent weapon. It likely should have been orange.
  • The Thanatos accessory which gives this weapon its name is glitched and causes the weapon to have the Pearlescent rarity.
  • Big Tony is a common name for a mobster, and the increased magazine reflects the "Tommy guns" used by mobsters in the '30s, due to their large "Drum" magazines.
  • Thanatos is the personification of death in Greek mythology.
  • Most commonly found in vending machines.
