―In-game description.

The 4N00bs Pistol is a handgun in Watch Dogs 2.

Design

The weapon design (chiefly the slide, frame, and hammer) are derived from the 1911. If the player has unlocked the Fast Trigger Finger upgrade the pistol can achieve a rate of fire equal to how fast the player can press the shoot button.

Performance

The weapon's stats are not accurate to its 3D Printer description. The description states that the 4N00bs has the same performance as the 1911, albeit with two less rounds and a ever-so-slightly better range. The 4N00bs shares the same damage values as the 1911, killing armored targets like Elites in two headshots and helmeted Enforcers in five headshots. However, the weapon reuses the stability, shot sounds and magazine size of the first game's D50, despite being based on the 1911 and not the Desert Eagle. This makes it difficult to control under sustained fire and ironically, despite the supposed better range, much less effective at a distance than other handguns. In essence, the 4N00bs is a safe beginner's weapon for fighting off unarmored enemies in close-combat, controlled situations, but as perks are unlocked and the player earns more cash, other handguns will outclass the 4N00bs in all respects.

Variations

• Help Desk Denial Pistol: Full-auto variant.
• Core Dump Pistol: Scoped and suppressed variant.
• Protocol Pistol: Gold-painted full-auto variant.

Trivia

• It is, along with the 2EZ, the starting weapon for the player, as it is free. The name of this weapon also reflects this ("4N00bs" being a leetspeak of "for noobs," the term for newbies or beginners).
• As said before, it is the counterpart of the 1911 from Watch Dogs.
• Also, like the D50 from Watch Dogs, this gun has a golden variant known as the Protocol Pistol.
