Overview[]
Cliff with the WellMax Revolver
The V6 Custom is a revolver manufactured around the first days of the Death Stranding. John Blake McClane, acting as special advisor to President Bridget Strand and head of security at a Bridges BB plant, owns one when he meets his old commander Cliff Unger. Cliff's comatose wife and baby are part of an experimental procedure that keeps them both alive. When John confides to Cliff that his wife will never wake up and that his son will soon be moved to another facility, he gave Cliff the loaded revolver. Later Cliff wraps a cloth around the barrel of the revolver and euthanizes his wife. Afterwards Cliff uses the revolver to intimidate the guards, but one of them fires at him during the escape. Having retrieved the gun, Bridget orders John to execute Cliff. When he hesitates Bridget grabs his arm and pulls the trigger, shooting Cliff in the chest and killing him as well as the BB.
After the accident John assumes the new identity of Die-Hardman, deciding to keep the revolver as a reminder of what he had done.
Years later, during Sam's expedition to west Die-Hardman is invited to the Beach by Amelie with a baby doll. On the beach he tries to kill Amelie, who is posing as Bridget. He finally realizes that Bridget and Amelie are the same person. Cliff then arrives on the Beach, also invited by Amelie, and kidnaps Die-Hardman after he finally recognizes the old comrade. At some point later, Die-Hardman returns to the world of the living. The revolver remains on Amelie's Beach until she returns to begin the Last Stranding. Afterwards, Amelie gave the revolver to Sam, hoping that he can make the decision to stop the Last Stranding. During his time alone on Amelie's Beach, Sam tries to use the revolver to end his life but fails because the gun is useless there.
Notes[]
- The WellMax V6 Custom is named "Revolver" when briefly used by Sam in Episode 13.
- The WellMax V6 Custom seems heavily inspired by the Italian revolver Chiappa Rhino.
- Since it is stated that items cannot be brought from or to the Beach, the likely explanation as to why the revolver can is because of its part in the life events of numerous characters connected to the Last Stranding.
- If Sam tries to shoot Amelie with the revolver, some sort of barrier blocks the rounds.
