The Crusader pistol is a non-automatic pistol in Fallout 76, introduced in the Steel Dawn update.

Characteristics[]

The Crusader pistol is able to fire an array of projectiles when modified with the proper receiver. Both sides of the pistol feature a painted Brotherhood of Steel emblem.

The plan to learn how to craft the Crusader pistol can be earned in Daily Ops and is sometimes sold as part of Minerva's rotating inventory.

Locations[]

Crafted at a weapons workbench if its plan is known. This is the only method of obtaining a Crusader pistol.

Notes[]

  • The large magazine modification does not visually increase the size of the pistol's magazine.
  • Animations imply that the Crusader pistol is fed by a magazine housed ahead of the trigger, but the cryo and pyro receiver mods replace this with a futuristic component either loaded with a cryo cell or flamer fuel tank despite the pistol remaining chambered in 10mm cartridges when these mods are applied.
  • When modified with a fusion receiver, the Crusader pistol still produces gunshot sounds as if it used ballistic ammunition.
  • The February 28, 2023 update notes claim that the cryo and pyro receiver mods for the Crusader Pistol appropriately rechamber the weapon for cryo cells or flamer fuel. However, these stated changes have not taken effect in-game.
  • If the crusader pistol has the explosive legendary effect, and the fusion receiver applied, it will not fire explosive shots.
