The Tactical Pistol is the second-to-last weapon you'll pick up in The Callisto Protocol. It is a short-range weapon that can quickly fire bullets.

The gun's in-game description reads: "Preferred by ex-military officers for its low recoil and high rate of fire. Based on the UJC Modular Weapons Platform."

The Tactical Pistol can be found once you reach Chapter 6 - Below of The Callisto Protocol. You'll definitely need it here, too, since the enemies begin to get a lot more challenging at this portion of the game.

Go along with the story until you encounter your first enemy. You'll then drop down into a path that will offer a fork in the road with two options: left or right. Go left and keep walking until you reach a room called Workshop 2A on the right.

In this room, you'll find nothing but a dying enemy and the Tactical Pistol Schematic. The Schematic sits on a bench next to some lockers and the dying enemy. Make sure you pick it up.

To get the Tactical Pistol, go to a Reforge Machine and craft one for 600 Callisto Credits.

Now you know everything you need to know about how to get the Tactical Pistol in The Callisto Protocol, including what it is and its upgrades.
