Why did they removed the pistol leaving only the disruptor? That’s so stupid; the weapon is weak, has few ammo and its shots go everywhere but on the target most of times. Pistol at least has some bullets and hit registration works a bit better with it.

You know there are like, two other topics on the front page about this already right? But regardless, this is a game mode were you’re suppose to start out with the weaker weapons ( surprised they removed the mangler, as it’s probably the weakest weapon in the game ), and work towards better weapons.
It’s still a very capable weapon though when you get used to it and you’ll be upgrading very quickly to the first upgrade which will net you an assault rifle on top of that.
What helped me with this was going into Academy>Weapon Drills and training with the disruptor for a while. It’ll help you visualize how the electric damage works (and arcs) as well.
I think it’s dogcrap that they only start you with one weapon, one that most people probably don’t know how to use effectively, and also removed the mangler, which is my FAVORITE gun for dropping people at mid range, but. I’ve come to not expect much from HI anymore, haha

I keep forgetting that exists. It’s a good way to try out weapons and give yourself room to understand how they function.

Yeah!!! For a long time the disruptor absolutely confounded me, as well as the shock and stalker rifles. Couldn’t hit anything with em and couldn’t understand why the weapon was so ‘weak’. (Still not a fan of stalker rifle but we’re on speaking terms now LMAO) Weapon drills went a long way into getting my brain wrapped around the concept of their functions.

It’s an equal start if everybody is just as bad with it. One kill nets you an AR and the disruptor is pretty fun, especially when youre aware you can just hold the trigger down. I enjoy the new progression compared to the old one, it feels less bloated.
