The Golden Pistol is the last of the four Golden Weapons released in the Summer Camp 4 Update. It can only be obtained by completing the Fourth Prestige Rank.
Strategy
Resurrecting in an Update long overdue, this weapon despite its legend, has proven to be a forgotten myth, as though it lures its 3-star recruits, it serves all the strength as Revolver, but with increased range and rate of fire, however consists of a sharp damage fall off at range, and its accuracy begins to drop quickly whilst dueling an enemy; perhaps more so than not, it is a step up from the Dual Pistols, but in single form, yet despite these buffs, it has no chance against Anti & Tank Equipment.
Thanks to its slick design, this Handgun is great in mid-range combat, while on the Run And Gun, but falls short rather vividly when the enemy steps back or gains on the user; beside that, it can be used to Circle around opponents to gain an edge. Varying from distance, this Golden Deagle is burdened by Bows, Shotguns, and Launchers.

Past Rumors
Originally, it was a hypothetical weapon by the name Golden Gun that takes the appearance of a golden Desert Eagle drawn in the old cartoony way that the icons for Respawnables Weapons had. It is one of the weapons that is unusable in the game but seen in various images. Before, not much was known about this weapon other than the fact that it appears in the Weapons Collector achievement image. However, it has been rumored by players that it was an overpowered pistol and when used in multiplayer, Digital Legends would ban players for doing so.
Trivia
- A few players claim to have used this weapon and say they were banned for using it. However, they didn't post any image or other info about it, only referring to it as "The Golden Gun".
- The Golden Gun may have been a hidden Weapon that was exploited by hackers for use in-game or are just false rumours.
- This Weapon might be fake, as it may well be just an image placed in the achievement because no other weapons would fit in the cart OR there weren't any other guns that had been thought of to put in the game whilst in the making of the image.
- It was believed to have been removed from the game when it first came out since it was very overpowered.
- Others believe that it was a myth started by a few players for attention.
- There is an achievement that could only be obtained before December 2012 (when the Golden Gun was removed) and was called ”Killing with Style” and required you to kill 50 enemies using the Golden Gun.
- An old challenge appeared in IOS and is referred to as the "Golden Pistol"
- During April Fools' Day, some people dubbed the Rookie Machine Gun as a counterpart of the golden gun because it became very overpowered.
- It closely resembles the Silver Wolf.
