Acquiring The Dove 
Edit
- This weapon can be obtained as a reward from the Altar Ego: Godless Monsters mission, or as a drop from Slither.
Special Effects Edit
- Sometimes, I forget to reload. - Does not consume ammo. Does not need to be reloaded.
Usage & Description Edit
The Dove is an average repeater pistol with a great ability to consume no ammo. This ability can come in handy for extended fights. The player never has to worry about running out of ammo or even having to reload during a skirmish. The ability to never have to reload can eliminate the momentary pause that could give a target a chance to get in the fatal blow.
That being said, the Dove is not a great primary weapon, as it comes with predefined basic parts (body, mag, no sight, action) with the only variable part being the accessory. It is best saved as a back up, in case the player's main weapons run low on or out of ammo. The Dove can also be used to finish off damaged targets, saving primary weapon ammo for targets that pose more of a threat.
Notes Edit
- Can be found with the Double accessory. The Dove will fire two shots at a time, but will consume one bullet per shot. This effect will negate the zero-ammo consumption effect and will necessitate reloads.
- Can also be found with elemental damage modifiers, allowing the player to easily max out that particular challenge award. Especially useful when corrosive or incendiary, The Dove becomes a great primary weapon because of the stacked damage over time.
- Can be found with the Hornet accessory, which gives the Feel the Sting effect. The name changes to BLR Hornet and displays the Hornet's red text, but not the Dove's (though it still has the Dove's ability).
- The Dove never comes with a scope.
- When used in combination with the Soldier's Cauterize Skill, it provides free healing ammunition for teammates.
- Skills and class mods, such as Mordecai's Gunslinger skill, can be used to increase fire rate while still never having to reload.
Trivia Edit
- Reference to John Woo's movies. In his films, doves are often used as set pieces whenever the main character performs a stunt. Also, no one ever seems to have to reload throughout the duration of any gunfight scene.

Mechanics Edit
The Dove's effect comes from TheDove_barrel4. It is similar to the handling characteristics of barrel4, but does not have the damage boost. Instead, it gives one bullet free per trigger pull. The unique material for The Dove, TheDove_Material, only adds one tech level but has no other effects. It is drastically different from any other Dahl material. Please see stat modifiers for an explanation on how to interpret all of these modifiers.
