| “ | A custom revolver firing rounds so large it only holds 4 shots. More or less nothing can stand before a direct hit from one of these 26mm monstrosities. |
| — Item Description |
The "Bulldog" Heavy Revolver is the default secondary weapon for the Gunner. It is a revolver handgun with a huge foregrip that never gets used. Its 26mm bullets (translating to 1.02 caliber) are so huge that only four can be held in the cylinder at once; fortunately, cylinders are discarded and new ones inserted as opposed to requiring players to load each cartridge individually. It has a very distinctive firing sound and can be heard throughout the caves.
The Bulldog deals high damage and has a high stun chance.

| Overclock | Effect | In Game Description | Price | ||||||||
Chain Hit
  |
|
"Any shot that hits a weakspot has a chance to ricochet into a nearby enemy." |
| ||||||||
Homebrew Powder
  |
|
"More damage on average but it's a bit inconsistent." |
| ||||||||
Volatile Bullets
 |
|
"Fuel on the fire! These rounds are extremely effective against burning targets but at the cost of direct damage dealt to unaffected creatures." |
| ||||||||
Six Shooter
 |
|
"An updated casing profile lets you squeeze 2 more rounds into the cylinder and take a few more rounds with you, but all that filling and drilling has compromised the accuracy of the weapon and it takes longer to reload." |
| ||||||||
Elephant Rounds
  |
|
"Heavy tweaking has made it possible to use modified autocannon rounds in the revolver! The damage is crazy but so is the recoil and you can't carry as many rounds. Also, only 3 rounds fit in the gun and reload time is a bit slower but base accuracy is improved." |
| ||||||||
| Magic Bullets
|
|
"Smaller, bouncy bullets ricochet off hard surfaces, hitting nearby enemies like magic! Overall, the damage of the weapon is reduced, but you can carry a few more rounds due to their compact size." |
| ||||||||
+75% Ricochet chance on bullets that hit weakpoint
-10 Damage

Trivia
- The weapon's reload interaction on a full clip consists of the Gunner twirling it around vertically in his hand. This animation is also present with the Driller's Subata 120 and the Engineer's "Stubby" Voltaic SMG.
- Hollow point bullets can be seen inside the barrel of the gun even without the upgrade equipped.
