The Whistle in the dark was added as a standalone weapon as part of the Nuclear Winter update. It was only obtainable via a Survival Mode weekly challenge which only ran during two separate weeks during 2019. This weapon cannot be painted or Legendary crafted.
- Daily Ops variant:
The Whistle in the Dark was added again as a standalone weapon as part of the One Wasteland For All update. This copy may only be crafted upon learning the Plan: Whistle in the Dark, which may be obtained from other players or as a rare Daily Ops reward.
