The Colt Model 1873 Single Action Army, known as the Peacemaker in-game, is a revolver in surviv.io that uses the .45 ACP purple ammunition. Although it is a revolver, holding the fire button will fire multiple shots just like in a fully automatic gun.

It was first seen in the 0.6.1 event, and was only available when playing Squads. In version 0.6.2, the Peacemaker was gone from the game, but it returns in the "" update. After the event ending, the weapon no longer available to use. However, it still appears in the game code.

Strategies

 * The Peacemaker is the MP220 of pistols; it features excellent burst damage balanced out by long reloads and low damage per clip.
 * A Peacemaker has extremely high DPS, higher than that of any other weapon except shotguns and some dual-wielded pistols.
 * However, the damage per reload is among the lowest in the game at just 174. A player with high health and high-level armor can survive this even if all shots hit them.
 * The Peacemaker's long reload means that you may want to use a secondary to finish your opponents off.

Countering

 * It is much easier to counter a single Peacemaker, but you have to be a bit more careful against dual Peacemakers in close range combat. Shotguns are the best type of weapons to counter with. If you rush a peacemaker and dodge some of it's spray bullets, you can get in tight and shotgun it the user. This also works because the DPS is very low on the weapon, and it is hard to hit your shots.
 * Make the user waste the magazine, then quickly take a couple shots while the reload time kicks in. It'll only take a couple of tries before you got them down.

Pros

 * Since it's a Pistol, it can be Dual wielded
 * High DPS
 * Fully automatic
 * High damage
 * High fire rate for a Pistol

Cons

 * Long reload time
 * Limited range
 * DPS decreases when Dual wielded Probably something to do with fanning)

Rarity
The Peacemaker is a semi-rare Pistol that spawns commonly in the Desert Map. It spawns like the OT-38 and M9 in the Desert Map and is very common n Cattle Crates.

Trivia

 * The name "Peacemaker" is a common nickname for the Colt Single Action Army.
 * The real-life Single Action Army uses the .45 Colt cartridge, not the .45 ACP.
 * It is one of two revolvers in the game, the other being the OT-38.
 * Although it is a revolver, it can be fired full-auto, due to the fact that the survivr "fans the hammer" while firing.
 * The Peacemaker can be dual-wielded, but firing it full auto makes no sense, as the player has to have one hand free to fan the hammer.
 * The Peacemaker has a very good damage, similar to the OT-38, but the downside is the fairly long reload time.
 * The reload sound for the Peacemaker implies that the player ejects and replaces all the rounds in the revolver every time they reload, even when their ammunition is almost full. This is unnecessary as they would only need to eject the spent rounds, which would make the reload speed shorter in real-life.
 * This is the oldest gun thus far to exist.
 * This is the first limited time only gun, along with the Model 94 Rifle.
 * It is the second automatic Pistol in the game, the first being the G18C

Countering
A Single Peacemaker has a DPS of 241.67, meaning that it can quickly kill you if all the shots land. However, it only has a bullet compacity of 6. The Peacemaker is basically a fully-automatic OT-38, also doing more damage and has faster fire rate due to the fact that it's fully automatic. To counter this weapon. Make your enemy waste their bullets by dodging all of their shots. then after that, attack. since the Peacemaker has a pretty long reload time for a Pistol, at 3 seconds. it'll give you enough time to damage the enemy. But If you're fighting a Dual Peacemaker user. Use the same strategy like the Single Peacemaker. Since the reload time of the Dual Peacemaker is extremely long. This is the best time to attack the enemy. As they're very vulnerable during the reload.
