Abel – The Righteous Brother
Abel features a golden Seraph slide, dark steel frame and diamond-patterned grip with an upright gold cross. The pistol fires explosive incendiary rounds and provides +15% Critical Chance.

The Accepted Offering: Headshot kills restore 20% Health and activate Grace for 8 seconds. While Grace is active, Abel deals 25% additional damage.
My Brother's Keeper: Available when dual wielding Abel with Cain. Every Abel hit restores 2% Health and applies Consecrated for 6 seconds. Cain deals 25% additional damage to Consecrated enemies.

Cain – The Marked Brother
Cain uses a silver Seraph slide, dark steel construction and a grip decorated with an inverted silver cross. It fires electrical rounds and provides +20% Critical Chance.

Mark of Cain: Every successful hit Brands the target for 10 seconds. Branded enemies are highlighted, and Cain deals 20% additional damage to them. Killing a Branded enemy activates Sevenfold Vengeance, increasing Cain's damage by 40% for 7 seconds.
The Blood Cries Out: Available when dual wielding Cain with Abel. Enemies affected by both Branded and Consecrated are instantly executed when their Health reaches 25% or less (Bosses are immune).

Dual-Wielding Mechanics
Cain & Abel are designed to complement each other. Abel applies Consecrated and restores Health, while Cain applies Branded and deals increased damage. Using both pistols together allows players to execute weakened enemies. A compatible dual-wielding mod, such as Expanded Dual Wielding, is required to activate these combined abilities. Both weapons remain fully usable individually.

Visual Effects
Abel: Heavy golden fire tracers, glowing golden eyes on Consecrated enemies, decorative holy flames, and a golden healing flash when Grace activates.
Cain: Heavy silver-white bullet tracers, glowing red eyes on Branded enemies, bleeding effects, berserk-style flashes, blood-red screen effect during Sevenfold Vengeance, and decapitation effects during executions.

No Effect VFX Edition: An alternative version is available in the Optional Files section. It preserves the same models, icons, statistics and abilities while removing glowing eyes, holy flames, bleeding, screen flashes and decapitation animations. Bullet tracers and Branded highlighting remain enabled.

Weapon Balance
Both pistols are balanced around the strongest vanilla iconic handguns, comparable to the Malorian Arms 3516. Weapon upgrades and difficulty scaling follow the game's normal systems.

How to Obtain
Both weapons can be purchased from the gunsmith in Little China, Watson. With Heavenly Armaments 1.3+ and Virtual Atelier installed, they are also available from the Heavenly Armaments store for 25,000 eddies each.

Alternatively, use the Cyber Engine Tweaks console:
Abel: Game.AddToInventory("Items.TF_Uriel", 1)
Cain: Game.AddToInventory("Items.TF_Samael", 1)
