I personally feel sidekick should be nerfed more… Right now it is far too effective at a distance… An AR should smoke a sidekick at medium and further distances. After about 30m or so a sidekick should be pretty much useless. 0 - 15m it should remain the way it currently is and no change should be made. Sidekick needs a significant nerfing at 16 - 25m distance.
If anything it needs a few more rounds in the magazine. It’s near impossible to kill 2 players with 1 clip. Other than that it’s fine.
I love the Sidekick, and would hate for it to be nerfed.
The AR is a very low-skill, RNG heavy weapon, while the Sidekick is very high-skill, and the RNG is more of a range limiter than an actual factor in close-mid range engagements. That’s why the Sidekick is stronger than the AR, it’s to allow high skill players to flex those skills and accel over AR users. Without it, more fights would just boil down the the AR bullet spread gods choosing who lives and who dies.
I just can’t seem to fire off rounds quick enough with the Sidekick… often I hear others firing the whole clip in a microsecond and I’ve barely emptied half of mine 
I think bloom needs removed, it should have a slightly slower rate of fire but the range is good.
It’s weird because at times it feels like a beast and other times it feels useless. I think bloom and the fire rate really messes with it being inconsistent

Absolutely should be. Current TTK for the sidekick is going to turn the multiplayer into H5. Everyone using a pistol because It outshines everything else which will make for stale gameplay real quick
. I dont see that many people using sidekick. Most people use the ar as starting weapons. In my opinion it doesnt outshines any weapon.
Can I join your matches? WAY too many people use the gun and PC players use it to such a degree that they get the “Perfect Kill” medal with it about 10 times a match.
I’m tired of the gun.
what do you mean by pc players?
its the 5th worst gun in the game, why nerf it
Because the AR should beat everything in the sandbox because “short medium range bullet hose should be good”
