TLDR: The Sidekick on Controller requires you to spam your trigger like crazy to reach the 365 RPM firerate. On mouse you can simply add “fire weapon” to your scroll wheel and essentially fire the weapon in full auto mode.
A simple solution: full-auto sidekick for everybody. Controller & M&K.
There are just so, so, so many weapons in this game that fire full auto that don’t even NEED it:
- The Bulldog. Fires 175 RPM. It doesn’t need full auto.
- Disruptor. Fires probably max 200 RPM. Doesn’t need full auto.
- Pulse Carbine. Fires insanely slow. Don’t know the RPM, but doesn’t need full auto.
It almost feels like the Disruptor “pistol” was given full-auto by accident and that it SHOULD have been given to the Sidekick pistol.
Or OPTIONAL full-auto for the Sidekick. I don’t mind. But PLEASE. Equal starts for everybody.

Nobody is ever going to bind fire to scroll wheel.

Oh, people absolutely can do that. And even if they don’t. Tapping 1 mm mouseclicks vs 12 mm triggerpulls should get fixed.

If you cant trigger a right trigger on a rolla at its point of actuation & let the RT fully out after each shot that’s on you.
You are creating a issue out of a none issue.
And I will say it again nobody on PC in a fps will bind shoot to mouse wheel.

Spamming the sidekick isn’t even that effective imo.
You wanna be near the ROF cap, but not at it because of the bloom.

Okay firstly, I blame Bloom and Bullet Mag.
Secondly, have you ever tried firing with scroll wheel? It’s stupid.

My god this has to be a joke. Making an issue out of absolutely nothing.
Spamming the sidekick at full auto is so so ineffective.
This anti-PC witch hunt is so so sad. People will make any excuse for not being as good as they think they should be.

You pull the trigger untill there is resistance. A simple fact. So full auto for everybody is all I’m asking. It shouldn’t be an issue because like I already stated, there are A LOT of weapons in this game that already fire full auto and don’t need it.
I don’t want full auto for controller and not for M&K. I want full auto for everybody. So also M&K can just hold the mousebutton and don’t need the scroll wheel.
Still, tapping near 365 is also insanely fast. I don’t get WHY weapons like the bulldog, disruptor and pulse carbine fire full-auto, when there is absolutely no need for it and weapons with insane firerate like the sidekick didn’t get full auto. It just feels full auto was given to the wrong pistol.

How does one spam a weapon full-auto? 
And I’m not anti PC. So don’t get me wrong there. Hell, people can play on Console or PC, whatever they want.
I just want a Sidekick that either CAN fire full auto (for every single input device), or has a lower RPM of roughly 200 RPM.
I’m okay with either. 
I’ve heard more than a handful of people who say they have trouble spamming due to injuries in their hands/fingers among other issues, for all the accessibility options in this game, that seems like a huge oversight. IMO there’s no reason it can’t work like the CE magnum, there’s a built in penalty to rapid fire, so it’s not as if it’d throw off the balance of the game.

Exactly this. I have also stated that (RSI) is an issue for me. But 343i doesn’t seem to care about that, so for that reason I put it under “equal starts”. Hopefully that get’s their attention. 
You want to make a semi-auto pistol be full auto instead because you’re concerned that someone on PC can fire faster than you. You are ready for the looney bin my friend.
The bloom makes the kind of rapid fire that you’re concerned about completely pointless.
If you’re losing these gunfights have a look in theatre and see what you’re doing wrong.

Lol. I get beamed by PC players with full auto mods on their PC. It’s real my guy

What do you want me to say? That I can’t tap the trigger fast enough because of a hand injury? I did that. 343i doesn’t care. So therefore I pretty much HAVE to search for alternative ways to get the Sidekick fixed and “equal starts” is the only thing they MIGHT value.
But okay, I’ll start a new topic called “Hand Injury”. You’ll see it in a few minutes. Hopefully I can count on your upvote. And thanks for the advice on weapon ranges and red reticle.

My friend has a hand injury too. They threw him to the side they same way they did to you.

Adding a full auto feature to the sidekick would only take the skill out of using the gun in the first place.
Unless, there’s a full auto sidekick made available for only action sack/fiesta game modes in the future.
As far as accessibility for people with hand injuries, I’m not sure what the solution would be. Especially on controller.
Remove the sidekick. Bring back the Halo 5 Magnum
Everyone already loves that Magnum. No one asked for the side kick.
Halo 5 Magnum has a slower pace

Dude in your original post you did not mention any kind of injury. You complained that PC players can click faster than you as if that gave some kind of unfair advantage.
You’re moving the goal posts. I’m sorry if you have a genuine injury that limits your ability to play. I know M $ have an accessibility controller but I’m unaware of how it functions or if it would help.

Either optional full auto for everybody, or a lower the rate of fire.
