Originally, I thought the AR was the noob weapon, Better for inexperienced players. Meanwhile, if you mastered the bloom, quick trigger pulls, and minimal aim assist and red reticle aim, you could still dominate with the Sidekick.
Now, I’m not so sure. Even after mastering the high skill cap of the Sidekick, it still seems inferior to the AR unless you are at point blank range. And even then, you only get about a 0.1-second quicker TTK.
I Get it, the Sidekick is supposed to be a sidearm, but I still feel like players should be rewarded more for harnessing it compared to the relatively easy point-and-spray AR.
