The FNP-45 in Roblox Criminality is a suppressed tactical handgun equipped straight out of the box with a red dot sight and silencer. Available exclusively through Armory vendors or random weapon crate spawns, the pistol costs $800 in-game cash and unlocks at Level 28. Dealing 26 base body damage, it eliminates unarmored opponents in four shots and boasts some of the tightest hip-fire accuracy among sidearms, balanced by pronounced horizontal recoil and a relatively slow bullet velocity.
FNP-45 Core Stats and Performance
The FNP-45 functions as an attachment-ready tactical pistol occupying 3.5 inventory slots. Its baseline damage output makes it lethal in close-quarters encounters, though its high purchase price and standard dealer refill rates require disciplined spending.
| Statistic | In-Game Value |
|---|---|
| Purchase Price | $800 |
| Resell Value | $400 |
| Standard Dealer Refill Cost | $300 |
| Inventory Space | 3.5 Slots |
| Unlock Requirement | Level 28 or Weaponry Gamepass (450 Robux) |
| Magazine Capacity | 12 rounds |
| Reserve Ammo | 36 rounds |
| Body Damage | 26 |
| Headshot Damage | 37 |
| Limb Damage (Arms / Legs) | 20 |
| Default Attachments | Red Dot Sight, Suppressor |
Against unarmored players with baseline 100 health, landing four body shots (104 total damage) secures a takedown. Against armored opponents, the weapon performs on par with heavy handguns like the M1911 against Tier-1 armor and holds moderate armor penetration against Tier-3 vests, though it requires an extra one to two shots when penetrating Tier-2 armor.
How to Get the FNP-45
Players cannot purchase the FNP-45 at standard street dealers. Obtaining one requires specific vendor access or crate scavenging:
- Armory Purchases: The FNP-45 is sold at both Armory 1 (located across the street from the basketball court near the cafe) and Armory 2 (situated behind the buildings across from pizza, adjacent to the junkyard). Each armory stocks a maximum of 2 FNP-45s per restock cycle.
- Access Requirements: Players can buy the weapon once they reach Level 28 in Standard mode. Alternatively, purchasing the Weaponry Gamepass for 450 Robux bypasses the level barrier and grants immediate buying privileges at both armories.
- Weapon Crates: Players who do not have Armory access or sufficient funds can find the FNP-45 as an RNG drop inside red weapon crates scattered across SECTOR-07. Note that selling weapons salvaged from crates yields less cash than pristine armory purchases.
Recoil Control and Shooting Mechanics
While the FNP-45 offers rapid fire potential, mastering it requires compensating for its recoil pattern and ballistics:
- Horizontal Bounciness: Unlike weapons with purely vertical kick, the FNP-45 suffers from noticeable horizontal bounce and visual weapon sway. Rapidly spamming the trigger causes unpredictable reticle drift, which can make consecutive mid-range shots difficult to land.
- Click Timing: The FNP-45 features a semi-automatic firing cap. Clicking faster than the weapon's intended recovery threshold can actually lower your effective fire rate. Community testing demonstrates that pacing your trigger pulls to approximately 4 clicks per second maintains maximum firing speed without jamming inputs.
- Bullet Velocity and Leading: The projectile speed on the FNP-45 is slower than standard long-barrel weapons. When fighting moving targets past close range, you must lead your shots slightly ahead of the enemy's path rather than clicking directly on their avatar.
- Suppression vs. Tracers: While the suppressor lowers weapon firing sound over distances, the FNP-45 fires visible tracer rounds. Opponents who see the incoming bullet trails can quickly pinpoint your firing direction despite the dampened audio.
FNP-45 vs. M1911 and G-17
Evaluating the FNP-45 against other common handguns highlights its role as a niche sidegrade rather than an absolute upgrade.
| Feature | FNP-45 | M1911 | G-17 (Glock) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purchase Cost | $800 | $450 ($536 at Armory) | $250 ($300 at Armory) |
| Base Body Damage | 26 | 29 | 21 |
| Magazine / Reserve | 12 / 36 | 8 / 24 | 14 / 42 |
| Recoil Behavior | Bouncy, horizontal drift | Moderate vertical kick | Predictable, low vertical |
| Pre-installed Optics | Red Dot Sight | Iron Sights | Iron Sights |
| Suppressed | Yes | No | No |
- Versus M1911: Both weapons require four body shots to kill an unarmored player. The M1911 hits harder per bullet (29 damage) and costs only $450 at standard dealers, but is constrained by an 8-round magazine. The FNP-45 offers 12 rounds, attachments, and superior hip-fire spread, giving you more leeway if shots miss in close quarters.
- Versus G-17: The G-17 is significantly cheaper at $250, holds 14 rounds, and offers vastly more consistent vertical recoil. While the G-17 requires five body shots to down an unarmored target compared to the FNP-45's four, its consistency and budget-friendly ammo refills make it a safer daily pick for standard farming.
Tactical Combat Strategies
To make the $800 investment worthwhile in SECTOR-07, adapt your engagements around the weapon's strengths:
- Rely on Hip-Fire in Close Quarters: The FNP-45 features exceptional hip-fire accuracy for a handgun. In tight hallways, cafes, or interior stairwells, avoid aiming down sights (ADS). Firing from the hip eliminates the visual obstruction caused by the optic bounce and preserves your movement speed while strafing.
- Ambush from Mid-Range Angles: Leverage the suppressor to third-party ongoing gunfights. Because the weapon produces reduced firing noise at a distance, you can pick off weakened players while they are distracted by louder combatants.
- Manage Restock Windows: Because armories only hold 2 FNP-45s per cycle, losing your weapon can leave you stranded if the vendor hasn't restocked. If you plan to run FNP setups, check the armory restock timer before engaging in risky duels nearby.
- Budgeting Refills: Standard street dealers charge an inflated $300 to refill FNP-45 ammunition. Whenever possible, plan your movement routes to restock ammo at Armory vendors to avoid overpaying.
History and Background
The FNP-45 holds a unique place in Criminality's development history. Prior to the public v1.2 update, the weapon was exclusive to the Riot Control Unit (RCU). The original RCU variant was far more formidable, featuring a 20-round magazine, 60 reserve rounds, distinct ammunition types, and a faster rate of fire. When made available to all players, its stats were adjusted to the current 12-round civilian balance. It also holds the distinction of being the first weapon in Criminality released with integrated attachments.
