The **Obrazets TsKIBa-38 Stechkin Silent Revolver**, known in-game as **OTs-38**, is a Pistol that is also the suppressed version of the OT-38 added in the v0.6.9 "Snow-covered Island" update on December 19, 2018. It uses the 7.62mm Ammunition.

## Strategies

### Using

* Most strategies with the OT-38 work with the OTs-38, but the suppressed version's bullet fade can be used at a distance with a medium Scope.
* This can also be used to bait, because of its rarity, although some players still won't take it if they think it's bad.
* Similar to its non-suppressed counterpart, dual-wielding it can be used somewhat close to a DMR, especially if you play on Mobile.
* Pairing with a scope turns this weapon into a force as deadly as any powerful DMR because of it's accuracy and element of surprise.

### Countering

* Being a variant of the OT-38, the OTs-38 shares the same problems as the OT-38, meaning that although the problems are lowered thanks to increased damage, it doesn't mean it's much better in close up combat than its standard counterpart. In other words, SMGs and shotguns will finish an OTs-38 user quickly.
* Try to stay behind cover unless you have level 3 armor; the OTs-38's bullets deal a surprisingly high amount of damage. When moving out of your cover, suppress the enemy by firing at them while running.
* Try to analyze the enemy's aim. If their aim is good, try the above strategy and slowly advance. If they have bad aim, shoot at the user with a long range Weapon. LMGs and SMGs may also work depending on their damage, range, and accuracy.

## Pros

* Good damage- you can get them down to very low health within 3 shots.
* Very accurate
* Can be deadly in the hands of someone very good with single-shots
* Very often only spawns as Dual rather than single
* Often does not make you a target

## Cons

* Very rare
* Slow DPS-Reduced spam-click ability is what makes this a controversial weapon.
* Slow reload time
* Low magazine

## Rarity

The OTs-38 surpasses the DEagle 50 as the rarest Pistol in-game, being mainly found in Golden Airdrops along with the other Golden Airdrop weapons such as the AWM-S, CZ-3A1, M249, PKP Pecheneg, M4A1-S, and the M1 Garand. The OTs-38 can now be found in the club’s vault as a replacement for the Groza-s. as a 1 in 10 chance.

## Sounds

Its sounds are identical to the OT-38's with the exception of its firing sound.

## Trivia

* Despite the Changelog saying that the OTs-38 can only be found in Golden Air Drops, they also spawn in Arctic Crates and the Red Emblem Chest.
* This is the fourth suppressed gun in the game after the AWM-S, M4A1-S, and CZ-3A1.
* It's the first Pistol in the game in which the dual-wield version can drop as a single item.
* Its non-suppressed counterpart, the OT-38, does not exist in real life, though the OTs-38 does.
* Real-life OTs-38 does not have a suppressor but is silent due to the usage of special cartridges (which aren't interchangeable with normal 7.62mm rounds) where powder gases are contained after shot. As a result, bullet velocity is quite small and the weapon isn't really battlefield grade.
* Real-life OTs-38 fires from lower revolver chamber (rather than upper) which may improve accuracy. What appears to be the barrel on the top is actually a socket for a laser sight.
* This weapon is a controversial addition for the surviv.io player-base, as due to being based on the OT-38, the OTs-38 is regarded by many as the worst Golden Airdrop weapon in the game (barring the M9), as it is far weaker than most golden airdrop guns like the M249, M1 Garand, AWM-S, or CZ-3A1.
	+ Because of this, many want this weapon to be removed from the Golden Airdrop loot tier or removed completely.

## Special Held Sprite

In the "Community collage" update, Golden Air Drop weapons like the AWM-S, M249, M4A1-S, CZ-3A1, and M1 Garand received a new sprite when held. This also applies to the later-added OTs-38. The sprite for the OTs-38 is detailed and is not a stick that separates the OTs-38's look from other pistols.
