Are you actually stoned or on drugs?
in 4v4 matches the sidekick is basically the best weapon. I’ve played matches were literally all I’ve used is the sidekick. its similar to halo 5 magnum meta(aka the pocket DMR). The Sidekick is stronger than it should be, the accuracy should probably be nerfed(IE increase the size of the inner reticule so you can’t hit people as effectively at mid range).
The sidekick is a sidearm, it shouldn’t be better than the AR. And it is powerful enough, the gun’s really great.
I disagree. Reducing its accuracy would ultimately lower the weapon’s skill gap as it would allow inaccurate players to more easily land shots they should of missed, on top of having good aim not be rewarded consistently as it should be.
Reduce its spread and just simply implement damage fall-off to replace it. There you have a balanced weapon without the randomness and artificially lowered skill gap that is associated with high spread.
Would have responded to you sooner, but got locked out of my account for 24 hours for posting too much, lol.
Pistol takes skill to use, AR doesn’t. Pistol should absolutely win at mid-range, AR should only beat Pistol at close range.
AR still require to burst fire to keep precision, the pistol is a pistol, not the Magnum.
In close range it is still very effective, it spread less than the AR, and the damage is good.
You can easily finish people with low armor with it.
