Tips And Tricks For Using Magnum

The Magnum utilizes the same ammunition as the Pistol in the game and is one of the best long-range weapons additionally, like the Cross Bow. The ammo type in question is actually the 9mm rounds that both the Magnum and Pistol use in the game.

Additionally, suppose you’re playing with your friends in multiplayer mode. In that case, one of you can use the Stun Baton to paralyze enemies or bosses, and the other can use the Revovler to deal massive damage to the stunned enemy in the game.
