==Locations==
Crafted at a weapons workbench if its plan is known. This is the only method of obtaining a Crusader pistol.
==Notes==
* The large magazine modification does not visually increase the size of the pistol's magazine.
* Animations imply that the Crusader pistol is fed by a magazine housed ahead of the trigger, but the cryo and pyro receiver mods replace this with a futuristic component either loaded with a cryo cell or flamer fuel tank despite the pistol remaining chambered in 10mm cartridges when these mods are applied.
* When modified with a fusion receiver, the Crusader pistol still produces gunshot sounds as if it used ballistic ammunition.
* The February 28, 2023 update notes claim that the cryo and pyro receiver mods for the Crusader Pistol appropriately rechamber the weapon for cryo cells or flamer fuel. However, these stated changes have not taken effect in-game.
* If the crusader pistol has the explosive legendary effect, and the fusion receiver applied, it will not fire explosive shots.
==Behind the scenes==
* During the first wave of testing on the Public Test Server, the Crusader pistol was known as the Chimera pistol.
* Jonathan Rush, paraphrasing Joon Choi, stated that the pistol was influenced by the 12.7mm, "with a sprinkling of some more advanced tech to support the different ammo types."Jon Rush on the official Bethesda Game Studios' Discord The actual weapon was modeled by David Jennison.ArtStation
==Bugs==
* When released, the Crusader pistol with the fusion cell receiver did not emit laser beams. This was fixed in subsequent patches 
* If the Crusader pistol has the explosive legendary effect and modified with a receiver that adds non-ballistic damage, the explosion will deal 100% of the Crusader's non-ballistic damage, instead of the intended 20%Fixed in patch 1.7.11.12
