Early Retirement is a unique variant of the .44 pistol and, unlike most unique variants in Fallout 4, has a custom appearance. It has a black receiver, a bull barrel, a reflex sight mod with two red dots under the cylinder release. No modifications will remove the revolver's black finish or cylinder release markers. The weapon also has a unique legendary effect dealing +25% damage to all synths.

The name of the weapon, and the accompanying quest, is a reference to the 1982 film Blade Runner, and its 2017 sequel. In the films, rogue Replicants (bio-engineered humans) are hunted down to be killed, euphemistically referred to as "retirement."
The gun's unique appearance (black with 2 red dots) is a reference to Blade Runner protagonist Rick Deckard's weapon, a large black firearm with 2 red LED lights. The weapon has previously been referenced in the Fallout series as the .223 pistol.
