Basic Information

The Golden Gun is the most accurate weapon in Goldeneye, perfectly accurate when sighted. The Golden Gun appears both in The Man With The Golden Gun scenario, and in the Golden Gun loadout. In the Man With The Golden Gun scenario, the Golden Gun is unique. Under the Golden Gun loadout, the weapon is treated normally and any number of players may carry it.

Changes from Goldeneye 007

• Under Man With The Golden Gun scenario, the player carrying it could not pick up armor. In GE:S, you may pick up armor, but only if you never had armor during the current inning. Once you gain armor, the background of the armor status dial turns red, indicating you cannot pick up armor again. This change ensures that players will not prioritize armor over the Golden Gun.
  
• Under Man With The Golden Gun scenario, all ammunition crates will provide golden bullets. This is to discourage camping the Golden Gun spawn location simply for ammunition and ensure that a player who wins the Golden Gun from an enemy can get ammunition without returning to the Golden Gun spawn area.
  
• The Golden Gun is not perfectly accurate when not sighted in GE:S. This accuracy penalty applies to all weapons and is a surrogate for the breathing effect, which is not yet implemented.
