I've decided I don't like the pistol

About 100 hours into multiplayer, and the pistol just feels random. And I assume it is due to bloom.

Sometimes I die in 1 second. Sometimes not.

Similar stuff happens with the AR, but not as often. Sometimes I kill people in half a magazine, other times I empty the full mag on them and get nothing to show for it.

I’m still a little indecisive about it just yet… It seems reasonable, definitely good as a finisher. But damage wise on fully shielded people seems a bit slow.

I wonder if they could just make swapping to it and off of it quicker could making it solid for as I mentioned above, specifically finishing targets perhaps?

i never liked spammy weapons. I appreciated the CE, 3, and Reach pistols for having a limited fire rate that my slow -Yoink!- fingers can keep up with. I do not like the sidekick

Its very much a side arm/secondary weapon and should be treated as such.

The main thing I hate about it is there isn’t a good H1 feeling pistol to choose instead.

The Reload on it is quick.
If you are caught dry, your Pistol is your best swap.
If your pistol runs out of ammo (somehow), it reloads the fastest so that you can keep fighting.

I feel you, though I did finally begin to like it a lot. Have to know your pacing based on distances, kind of like… gulp the Reach DMR. I noticed 1-2-3-4 (reset) 1-2-3 makes for a very accurate and reliable kill versus shooting nonstop. This is especially noticeable at longer distances and you may need to switch up the reset after fewer shots the further they get.

How is it being used by you and against you?

At what ranges in these scenarios?
