Handgun (starting)

Verdict: Do not upgrade it. Sell it in 1-3 when you get the Punisher.

The cheapest to upgrade and the shakiest aim. Its exclusive (crit ×5, from an estimated ~5–10% to ~25–50%) only pays off if you commit to headshots. Once you have the Punisher or Red9, sell it: the Merchant refunds half of what you put in.
