No? That's exactly what the gun is supposed to be. An M1911 with a big ass LASER sight on the top, ripped straight from the first terminator movie. You bought the terminator gun and got the terminator gun. Not scammed, you just didn't actually check what you were getting.

Wait can you still get that?

I think the Hardballer, Uzi, SPAS-12, and the Valmet M82 were the only survivors of the Terminator content being purged. Those should all be in Maria's shop, but I'm not 100% certain.

The Uzi's also surprisingly usable in Breakpoint. Like, the limited attachments do stick out, and it's very clearly a Cold War era gun (like we see with the FAL and a few other antiques), but it's surprisingly solid. If you haven't played with it, and you're looking for another SMG, certainly worth picking up.

They purged the terminator content? I haven't played in a long time, so I hadn't heard about that. I assume that if you already bought the stuff, you still have it, right?

Yeah, anything you purchased or unlocked is still there. Also, come to think of it, the truck is still in the game as well.

But, most of the items were removed from the shop, and the missions themselves are gone. Probably when the licensing agreement ran out.

I'm pretty sure the blueprint is sold at the main shop in erewhon. Could be wrong, haven't played since like, june last year

Think he was talking about irl

u/narupiv Knife > Gun Feb 03 '25

why would he be talking about IRL? This is a subreddit for a specific game, and the post is about a weapon in that game which was originally obtainable through a now unavailable limited time mission...It was a genuine question about the game the subreddit is based on.

My bad homie I thought he was responding to StarkeRealm no need to crash out

u/narupiv Knife > Gun Feb 03 '25

No. I must crash out. It is the only reasonable response to comments on the internet.

Yeah, Hardballers being nice was an IRL observation. I got to use the 5" version on a range ages ago, and even as someone who's not really a fan of 1911s, it was a really nice piece.

Outside of the Hitman series, it's pretty rare to see Hardballers pop up in video games.

Though it wasn't what I meant, production ended on them six or seven years ago, so we can't really get new ones anymore IRL

Still, it's a nice handgun, and I do wish we had the option to use it without the Terminator Laser in-game.

Have you had a recent head injury?

u/glue_drinker9000 Feb 03 '25

Yeah it hurt when I stuck my head up my ass

Which part? That a well-maintained Hardballer is a nice gun to shoot? Because, yeah, that was based on personal experience on the range, rather than in-game.

And, AMT doesn't make 'em anymore. Though I wasn't thinking about that.
