The Concealed Carry is a secondary weapon for the Flanker. It is a subcompact pistol with a pebble grip that resembles a PX4 Storm Subcompact pistol.
It fires 20% faster than the default Pistol, though each bullet will deal 30% less damage. Killing players will restore the user's health by 63, granting them overheal if it would go over their max health. Additionally, the granted overheal never decays, but as a result Doctors cannot overheal the user.
Due to its damage penalty, it should never be used as a standalone damage output. This weapon should be used as a sort of portable Doctor that can be used on the fly, using its heal-on-kill attribute as its main purpose. However, sometimes it's better go to the nearest health pack, especially when the target is hard to hit.
Its increased fire rate can really help to finish off enemies at close range faster, leaving less chance of them getting away. It rewards the user for having good accuracy and punishes you for missing, as they deal little to almost no damage for zero healing.

Tips
- If your target is extremely low on health, it is best to switch to this weapon and finish them off for some free health.
- Get up close to your target, blast them in the face/back, and then back up while shooting the Concealed Carry. This will guarantee your survival and their death.
- The best thing about the Concealed Carry is that its overheal does not decay. It essentially becomes your new base health until you get damaged.
- You may not be able to overheal, but a Doctor can still pocket you anyway to build up his SuperCharge quickly (SuperCharge builds up slower when a patient is overhealed. Since you cannot, it builds up faster).
- Are you low on health? Do not depend on the Concealed Carry to regain health. Unless you find a very weak enemy or are good at dodging attacks, you're better off finding the nearest health pack or Doctor.
- Try equipping the Candy Cane. When you get a kill with the Concealed Carry, you'll gain your 63 HP and the small health pack that drops on kill.
- An entire ammo clip, if all shots land, will make you deal around 120 damage total. This won't be enough to kill any class with this weapon solo.
- One good shot from your Lever Shotgun should drain enough health so you can switch to your Concealed Carry and finish foes off.
- Alternatively, you can use the Bat or its similar counterparts to kill light classes in one hit (it crits foes under 25% health) after emptying the Concealed Carry's ammo clip.
- There are certain classes you'll need to avoid at all costs when using the Concealed Carry.
- Stay away from Troopers in particular. Their Direct Hit and Market Gardener are direct counters to Flankers, as they both kill in one hit. Remember that you can't overheal to tank damage, so be careful.
- Don't let Marksmen see you, either. Because you can't overheal to survive headshots, you'll need to work on using your speed to escape his sightlines.
- This weapon may shoot 20% faster, but it also has a -30% damage penalty. This means that all of your shots need to land to deal good damage.
- Note that the overheal penalty only applies to doctors, the Wraith's Respite and Special-Ops Sushi can give you non-decaying overheal. You should ask your Agents/Brutes to give you an overheal bonus if they have these items equipped.
