Description
As a former sicario, Sangres is careful when it comes to weapons of choice. The job must get done, there's no other option. Two trusty revolvers are always by his side - the Castigo .44 revolvers - that Sangres keeps in perfect condition.

The Castigo .44 revolver is Sangres' signature pistol and a secondary weapon in PAYDAY 2. It notably is the first revolver in the game to support dual-wielding.

Overview[]

The Castigo is a very powerful pistol, tied with the Peacemaker .45, Matever .357, and Parabellum at 180 points of raw damage, capable of plugging most enemies with one headshot on Overkill difficulty. It also boasts a decent rate of fire, allowing it to deal more damage per second up close, which can be useful against Bulldozers at point blank range.

The Castigo is not without disadvantages, however. To balance out its great damage and fire rate, the Castigo has a significantly more noticeable crosshair bloom compared to its fellow revolvers, a slow reload, and a limited cylinder capacity of 6 which is a given considering its nature.

Compared to PAYDAY 2's other free revolver, the Bronco .44, this weapon boasts slightly higher base damage and concealment, at the cost of a slower reload and a much smaller mod pool.

Summary[]

Pros:

  • Very powerful
  • Great base Concealment
  • Unique mods do not decrease stats
  • Very accurate, especially when modded

Cons:

  • Vicious recoil
  • Slow reload
  • Incredibly limited mod options

Tips[]

  • With the Fast and Furious perk and One Handed Talent Aced, this weapon can reach 204 damage. Combined with Helmet Popping it will do enough damage to kill most enemies in a single shot to the head on Overkill. Owing to its strong recoil and moderate spread, however, the Castigo should be fired slowly and carefully so as to be as efficient as possible.
  • Keep track of the number of rounds left in the cylinder, as the reload process is a somewhat slow 3 seconds.
    • Taking Desperado aced will speed up the slow reload time by 1 second.
  • The high concealment of this weapon makes it viable for dodge builds, although as it can't equip a silencer its usefulness during stealth is limited without the use of a silenced primary weapon.

Trivia

Diablo Barrel

  • This modification is based on the Kokusai Devil  custom 8 3/8 inch heavy barrel for the Smith and Wesson Model 29. The name of this modfication is the Spanish translation of its real title. Despite this, the mod's internal name refers to it as the Satan, the Devil barrel's counterpart.
    • It is likely a replica, however, due to the fact that the original "Devil" barrel is merely a decorative plastic part, and thus is incredibly fragile due to the heavy metal inserts along its frame unbalancing the ABS shell and can cause it to snap off if the revolver is not drawn properly.

Trivia

Cruz Grip

  • The name of this grip 'Cruz' is the Spanish word for cross, as the grip is decorated with a cross.

Internal name wpn_fps_pis_chinchilla_g_death

Skins[]

  • The names of the Bonnie and Clyde refer to the eponymous crime couple who traveled the central United States with their gang during the Great Depression, robbing people and killing when cornered or confronted.
  • Juarez could refer to Ciudad Juárez, the largest city in the state of Chihuahua.
  • The Preacher ([All modis] The Preacher [✓]) was originally named "The Priest" and had a Christian cross symbol on the Diablo Barrel. Following concern surrounding the cross symbol, it was changed to a sword symbol and the skin was renamed.

Achievements[]

Complete the Lost In Transit job on the OVERKILL difficulty or above in Loud, with each crew member wearing a two-piece suit, wielding a Castigo .44 Revolver with a Mosconi 12G shotgun, and using no equipped skills.

Trivia[]

  • The Castigo .44 is based on the Smith & Wesson Model 29 with a 6.5 inch barrel, and named after the Spanish word for "punishment". The in-game iteration is an older, pre-1982 model as evident by the pinned barrel, recessed cylinder, and lack of internal lock.
    • Originally, the Castigo always had its hammer incorrectly cocked back as if it were a single-action revolver, without the player character's input at all, despite the Model 29 only operating in double-action in game, this has since been corrected in a later update.
  • The lone Castigo is the first revolver-type weapon reload in PAYDAY 2 where the player character actually uses the extractor rod to dump rounds (or rather, mimes the entire routine without the extractor actually moving at all) instead of just shaking them out as per usual. The akimbo variant does not feature this, however, due to the lack of a free hand on the characters' part.
  • The Castigo .44 is the first revolver in PAYDAY 2 to support dual-wielding.
  • The Juarez skin is possibly a reference to the Call of Juarez series of games.
