Side kick is giving me Halo 5 flashbacks

I thought the sidekick was its name sake, “sidekick” the thing you have at yourside in case something is to difficult. So why am i getting melted by a sidekick? Shouldn’t it be your last resort, finish him off kinda weapon? Im instead seeing some people run around only using sidekick. To me in my personal opinion its to powerful as a pistol.

Thoughts?

It’s currently the most useful gun in most situation. the only time i switch is for fun. it gets outplayed in btb but on most maps you can keep it cqc if you want

My hit % is higher in Halo Infinite than in H5 aaaand im getting destroyed.

That would make since but i turn to look at someone and I get thanos snapped. If it was thr magnum alright sure I’ll fess uo and say i got outplayed but this is a lower caliber gun techinaly. It shouldnt be more powerful than the BR or AR or even commando.
