No way should you be dying in under 1.5 seconds to a pistol.
And its happening every match, it really should not kill as fast as it does.

The sidekick should not outplay the assault rifle at close range lol.

That’s literally what it was designed to do. It’s optimal ttk is 1.10s.
The AR’s is 1.25s.

Define these situations. Like I said, it has a time advantage if you land all your shots.

The limitation is meant to be skill based. But I think most people’s problems with almost everything in this game come down to the bad hit registration and desync. If it’s a fair fight the AR and Sidekick sort of tie each other if you’re both aiming appropriately and fire at the exact same time, with the sidekick coming out on top more often because of that .05 second faster kill time, which is negligible in most situations. Sometimes the spammy nature of both weapons causes annoying randomness. But they don’t need a nerf, the servers just need polishing up.

The rate of fire should be reduced

Yes, somebody who agrees, its basically an SMG right now.
There is definitely a goldilocks range in which the AR is gonna melt the pistol because the pistol user has to worry about bloom to get a low TTK.
Granted the pistol should rival the AR but currently in the game it is too strong and does need to be nurfed, or maybe 343i needs to actually put in some time and money to block and prevent hackers.
Neither of these will happen for a minimum of 6 months. People are playing the game and people are buying from their store so they won’t buy anything.
The AR should also have its range reduced. Tired of being cross mapped by ARs
I spamed my pistol from deep and got some crazy kills with it on people who use the AR. The sidekick is fast enough where it beats every weapon aside from the one shot weapons
If the servers and shot reg are fixed the pistol would become MORE powerful not less
Thats true, I think a good fix would be a bloom increase and a fire rate reduction by about 25%

25% is huge. It’s not the H:CE magnum. I agree it fires too quickly, but I think 5% is a good place to start.

It’s better than the AR at close and long range for sure. I do wonder if there’s a small mid range area AR can excel at but I’m doubtful. It’s like h5 again where magnum was king and people would only pick up a dmr/br for long range maps and even then that’s usually 1 guy per team.
3/4 of the cheaters I’ve found so far were using sidekick. Though that’s not necessarily a reason to nerf it.
