— Weapon description

The Duke MK.44 is a standard-issue revolver[1] manufactured by the City's Sector 08 Armory.[2] The weapon is most commonly associated with newer Guardians who equip a sidearm in their primary loadout[1]

While the Duke has a low rate of fire and a high recoil, it produces a high amount of damage with each round and is not effected by reticule bloom.[3] It has a built in "quick draw holo sight", as well as a "hair trigger".[4]
