Probably the way to go. Keeping the revolver as a quick draw option to delete specials with a well-placed headshot should stay. 2-3 shooting Crushers is a bit ridiculous.
Currently, the revolver is an incredibly strong weapon. It either one-shots or almost one-shots any enemy short of Crushers, Mauler (Mutants, Dogs). The only thing it currently lacks is boss damage.
With the proposed buffs coming next patch, I’m pretty sure it will be one of the (if not the actual) best weapons to run on a hybrid build. With the increased damage and finesse it will be able to one-tap all gunners at basically any range, and it will be better against Crushers even with the health boost.
I think this is one of the weapons to look out for after the changes.
