For the silenced variant seen in Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion, see Silenced Pistol.
Overview


"A fairly basic semi-automatic weapon. Look for extra ammo clips."
Turok: Dinosaur Hunter manual[1]

The Pistol is a standard firearm that appears in numerous Turok games, first appearing in Turok: Dinosaur Hunter. It is the first gun to be obtained by the player.

Appearance[]

The Pistol in Turok: Dinosaur Hunter is a dark green/black color blend and somewhat resembles a cross between a normal pistol and a revolver.

The Pistol in Turok 2: Seeds of Evil looks more high-tech and has a silver color. This Pistol can be upgraded to the Mag 60.

In Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion, the Pistol once more takes on a futuristic look and has a white-blue tint to it. Danielle Fireseed can upgrade her Pistol to the Mag 60. Joseph Fireseed can upgrade to the Silenced Pistol.

Turok: Evolution's incarnation of the Pistol has a worn, futuristic look that differs from its predecessors. It is much more bulky and has a similar color scheme to the Pistol in Dinosaur Hunter. The Pistol can be upgraded with a sniper feature, which adds a scope.

Gameplay[]

The Pistol functions similarly in every incarnation, with only a few downgrades to its strength in certain games. In every game (excluding Turok: Rage Wars) the Pistol is the first firearm to be found by the player.

In Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, the gun fires at an average rate, making it easy to take out enemies at mid-range. This weapon can be used to take out Poachers, usually only taking about two shots to kill them. While it instantly kills Giant Beetles in one shot, it is also a stronger equivalent of the Knife to use against Leapers.

Other humans like the Ancient Warriors will take about three to four shots to kill, being stronger than the Poachers. The Pistol can be used as a way to conserve ammo for stronger weapons, as it can easily kill some enemies within two shots.

Although it can kill Pur-Lin, High Priests, and other bigger enemies, it's not recommended.

It also shares ammo with the Assault Rifle, a faster, somewhat stronger equivalent.

For the sequels, the pistol is very useful at taking out enemies from afar. A one-hit kill is guaranteed if the player aims for the enemies' heads.

Trivia[]

  • In Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, the Pistol pickup does not have a trigger. This was common in video games at the time, as consoles could not spare the processing power for extra polygon detail. This is also the case for the Pistol in Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion.
