The 9mm Pistol is the basic sidearm that every player spawns with at the beginning of a game. It is rather weak weapon due to its limited ammunition (yet somewhat moderate damage) and is generally only used in the early waves to kill weak ZEDs such as Clots or Stalkers, save ammunition or Dosh for other weapons. As such, it is mostly only used as a last resort when a player has exhausted all other forms of ammunition.

Each of the handguns can be wielded or sold and dropped separately. Compare to the single pistol, Dual 9mm Pistols have increased rate of fire and magazine size but also slower reload speed.

Strategy

A surprisingly powerful sidearm against certain weak ZEDs, requires just one shot to decapitate a Crawler, Clot, Slasher, Cyst and Stalker.

Moderately weak against everything else, requiring a lot more headshots to decapitate medium ZEDs, and very ineffective against large ZEDs. This, however, can be resolved by upgrades.

When used by a Gunslinger, SWAT, or Commando with the relevant skills, it becomes an effective sidearm that remains viable in later waves when they are able to decapitate lesser ZEDs in a single shot.

Bonuses

The 9mm Pistol is notably affected by the following boosts:

  • All of the Gunslinger's and Sharpshooter's passives and skills.
  • The Commando's Passive bonus damage and reload time, the level 10 Fallback skill (x1.85 more damage (46 damage)), the level 15 skill Prepared (increases reserve ammo from 60 bullets to 72) and Machine Gunner skill (increases both damage and faster RoF in ZED Time).
  • SWAT's Close Combat Training skill (x2 more damage (50 damage)) and Rapid Assault (faster RoF in ZED Time).
  • Additional notes on how it interacts with perk's skill choices can be found here.

Trivia

  • The 9mm seems to be a mix between the Beretta 92fs Elite and the M9A1, with additional serrations at the front end and plain black sights, in opposite to the 3-dot sights.
