Added by Wagnike2Mercy is one of Strife's two revolvers, the other being Redemption. The achievement/trophy "An Old Friend" is unlocked upon gaining it. Once you kill the Griever, War walks in on Ulthane pounding away at it on his anvil with a hammer and gives Mercy to War. With it War questions the blacksmith while Mercy is aimed at his head. Mercy generates its own supply of ammunition, so it doesn't have to be reloaded. Unlike Redemption, Mercy has an unlimited "clip", which means War can keep pulling the trigger forever without ever coming up empty. The drawback is that each individual bullet does significantly less damage than the ones fired by Redemption. This weapon is necessary for taking down Ashworms, including the Stygian, one of the Chosen.
Although Strife is indeed described as wielding a revolver named Mercy, the one gained by War in Darksiders is a replica, not the original, as Ulthane is seen in the final stages of its construction just before he hands it over. This is in distinct opposition to Redemption, gained in Darksiders II, which Death identifies as the genuine article. As with the Crossblade, the damage Mercy does is greatly increased once War has obtained the Legendary Enhancement known as Strife's Offering.
