The .50 Caliber Pistol is a rare firearm in Dead Rising 4. As its name implies, it is a high-powered handgun.

Renowned for its unmatched damage output, the .50 Caliber Pistol excels at delivering a lethal blow with a single shot, surpassing every other non-combo weapon firearm. However, when compared, the Assault Rifle boasts a higher rate of fire, and the Automatic Shotgun can potentially deal more damage if every pellet hits its mark—making both preferable for handling maniacs. Nevertheless, the .50 Caliber Pistol remains unparalleled in its ability to instantly eliminate zombies, fresh zombies, hostile survivors, and Obscuris soldiers without exo suits, making it highly sought after.

While any human enemy in the game has the potential to wield the pistol, it is predominantly used by those guarding Obscuris equipment drops. These drops are known to occasionally contain the .50 Caliber Pistol, and it can also be discovered in safe boxes scattered throughout Willamette.
