The Spec Ops Pistol is a Backup weapon introduced in the 15.9.0 update. It can be obtained from the Operation SNOW Battle Pass and the Trader's Van.
Description
It is a winter-military-themed pistol that shoots regular bullets and has a scope. It has good damage, a somewhat fast fire rate, high capacity, and decent mobility. It is around 5 - 6 shots.
Appearance
It appears to be based off the same design of the Hitman Pistol.
It has grey camo on the frame and on the slide, with green grips.
It also features many attachments, such as an extended magazine with light blue decals, a black laser attachment module at the bottom of the weapon, which is emitting a red laser. (However, it appears only for show) It also features a black 4x scope mounted on a rail, and a grey suppressor with white decals.
Performance
It shoots regular bullets that have instant bullet travel time. It performs best at close to medium range, but the scope does allow longer-ranged battles.
When reloading, the magazine is taken out and is replaced by a spare one. It has no delay mechanics.
Strategy
Tips
- This weapon is good in medium to long range battles.
- The fire rate of this weapon is somewhat fast. Use that to your advantage.
- Utilize this weapon's 4x scope for long-range encounters.
- It can be used as a Sniper substitute, but with a fairly low damage.
- This weapon doesn't slow you down much. Use it to escape foes.
- Pair this weapon with Backup boosting gear to maximize its efficiency.
- This weapon reloads quickly, so you can start shooting again in a short time.

Counters
- You can strafe them and take the user out with a Melee or other powerful close-range weapons.
- Use a faster firing weapon to take them out.
- Area Damage weapons can disorient its user(s). Primary weapons are also great for countering as they can outpace the Spec Ops Pistol's fire rate.
- If you can't strafe them, just take out the same weapon yourself and engage in a firefight.
- Unlike some other weapons, waiting until the user runs out of ammo is not a good idea as it have a rapid reload.

- Initial release.
Trivia
- This gun, like the gun it is a reskin of, is based off the Beretta 92 pistol. However, this weapon visually resembles the M1911 pistol with a snow camo.
- Assuming this Beretta 92 pistol/M1911 pistol that shoots 9mm rounds, the extended magazine would be able to hold up to 30 rounds. However, it only holds 20. (There are different kinds of extended magazines that have varying capacities. This assumption is based on the look of this specific magazine.)
- The Spec Ops Pistol is one of the Operation SNOW Battle Pass exclusive weapons, the others being the Hand Minigun, Night Hunter, and Armadillo. Now, they are occasionally available via Trader's Van.
- The camo on this gun appears to be a digital winter camouflage.
- Another Operation SNOW Battle Pass weapon, the Night Hunter, has this camo.
- This is one of the underrated weapons that are very good with skill.
