The Quick Draw is a primary weapon for the Agent. It is the M1873 Peacemaker with a loose cylinder.
The Quick Draw deals 15% less damage compared to the Revolver, and requires loading each bullet individually. However, upon a successful kill, the Agent fills the 'Draw' meter by 33%; backstabs will fill the meter by 50%. Once filled, it can be activated by firing which enables mini-crits and doubles the fire-rate for 2 seconds.
It has an interesting risk-reward mechanic that encourages users to use their mini-crits wisely, at most firing 4 shots that deal 35% more damage than the Revolver. However, it reloads slowly and deals 15% less damage. Like its name suggests, it should be used to take out single enemies that you can't get to with your knife in time with abnormally high burst damage before retreating.
The Quick Draw could've previously been obtained from Tier 2 of the now-discontinued Versatile Vacation Pass.

Tips[]
- You don't only have to kill enemies with the Quick Draw to build your Draw meter. Backstabbing is also an option and it fills the Draw meter a lot quicker than shooting.
- If you fail a backstab, the Quick Draw's mini-crits will still help you get the kill.
- When you're cloaked, use that time to ensure the Quick Draw is fully reloaded. The "loads bullets individually" is a more polite way of saying "slower reloading speed". Plus, it will be a disaster if you activate the Draw meter with only one bullet in the gun.
- If you want to remove your disguise, use your knife instead of the Quick Draw to avoid accidentally draining the Draw meter.
- Because Flankers are extremely fast, the Quick Draw's double fire rate will help you take one down without having to aim carefully.
- Marksmen wearing the Razorback can be quickly taken care of with the Quick Draw's double fire rate, giving them absolutely no time to retaliate, or even react!
- If the rare and unfortunate scenario where, instead of your knife, you have to use the Quick Draw against a Brute: the mini-crits will do respectable damage, and the double fire rate will help you get those hits in before a Brute can rev up. But if the Brute still has much health after your attack, the best thing to do is cloak and rely on a teammate for an assist.
- In Vs. Bosses, dealing damage to the selected boss will refill the draw meter giving unlimited amount of mini-crits.

Trivia[]
- This weapon is based on the Advanced Weaponiser weapon of the same name.
- The Quick Draw was suggested to be brought back in the official Discord server.
- The model is taken from Arsenal's Peacemaker.
- The backpack icon displays the Webley's previous model instead of the Peacemaker.
- The Quick Draw is the only revolver-type weapon that does not come with a speed-loader.
- The Quick Draw has the fastest taunt kill in the game, with its "wind-up phase" only lasting about 1 second. To note, this taunt does have a limited range.
- In Vs. Bosses, the taunt kill's first 5 hits are effected by the crits gained from being one of the last two RED players alive.
Bugs[]
- Quick Draw currently lacks the default mini-crit damage that most revolvers have in Vs. Bosses.
- If you get mini-crits via other sources, the alterative firing animation for using the "Draw" meter will play instead.
