Source review — 10 November 2026: This is an original-game loadout from the dated guide below. Accessible source pages confirm the listed weapon attachment names. Perks and equipment retain their original dated attribution; the source review does not imply hands-on testing or a fresh balance-patch analysis.
The Python is the sidearm to own. gamer.org's July 2026 list calls it easily the strongest, rating it A-tier for damage and effective range. Its weakness is a reload that feeds one round at a time, so use the Speed Reloader. This covers the original 2010 game as hXc Hector documents it.
Best Python loadout
No major guide publishes a build for this gun, so this is our suggested setup from its available attachments. hXc Hector is the only per-gun source (page timestamp 14 July 2022). Video Games Blogger's 18 November 2010 pistol list confirms Snub Nose and Speed Reloader for the Python but does not list its ACOG.
| Slot | Pick | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Attachment | Speed Reloader | Reloads all six rounds at once; about 2.5 seconds instead of up to 5 |
Why this build works
hXc estimates 30-50 damage per bullet and an 8.75-30 meter range, the longest and hardest-hitting of his pistols. You should not pick Snub Nose, which adds accuracy but drops that to 20-40 damage. With six rounds and a reload of up to 5 seconds, ammunition is what lets you down, and the Speed Reloader answers that. ACOG Sight is the other good option: he lists a 15-30 meter range with it.
Dual Wield automatically includes the Speed Reloader on his list, but it removes aiming down sights.
How to play it
Switch to it when your primary runs out in a fight, as hXc advises. Its damage and range also mean it can work at longer distances than other sidearms. One limit: Warlord only adds a second attachment to your primary, so you get just one here.
Unlock notes
Unlocks at level 18 for C1500, and the Speed Reloader costs C1000, per hXc Hector.
