Weaknesses
- The R .357's small magazine size makes missing a shot very punishing.
- The R .357's damage falls off severely at moderate to long distances.
- The iron sights on the R .357 offer limited visibility; aim down sights for accuracy past close range. Compact Reflector and Quickspark also fit.
How to use it
- The R .357 has strong hipfire accuracy at close range, but aiming down sight is recommended for longer-range engagements.
