It was the first time I ever actually enjoyed using a magnum as my main weapon, normally I dump regular magnums for almost everything else first, they focused so much on the GF mag in the first weapon tuning yet now they seem not to care anymore, are they ever going to do the BR and GF mag starts again or change up the AR normal mag start at least? There’s nothing wrong with the game but that loadout is getting old.
The usefulness of the base Magnum is a good mix between the GF and TacMag. I doubt they will make BR starts because no one will pick up any other weapon. The GF Mag is really a close range weapon and the Base Magnum works well there too. I’m just not sure what they could pair with the GF Mag to make it where people would actually use it.
I hope not, I love my normal magnum.

The Gunfighter may not be packing much in terms of range and punch compared to the standard and Tactical Magnum, but I think its faster switching and rate of fire can prove useful as a rapid-fire backup to finish off a weakened opponent.

I can see where you are coming from. I haven’t checked to see if switching to it is any faster than taking the next shot. The viable situation there is when your primary (Probably magnum) is out of ammo and you can switch without a huge loss of firefight time/offensive capability. Does this situation happen enough to warrant the weapon though?

To be fair, the Gunfighter fulfills a bit of a niche role as a sidearm due to the aforementioned shorter range and fast rate of fire (which is why I don’t use it in Warzone). Stuff like the other Magnums and automatics would outgun it any day. Still, it wouldn’t hurt to experiment with the Gunfighter in Arena. Just going off from my head, I think the Gunfighter might be very interesting in Breakout / Elimination if it replaced the standard Magnum.

Putting it into Breakout wouldn’t be a bad idea. It would push player movement and closer quarters due to the decreased range on the weapon. Shotgun would need to be changed to an SMG in 2.0 though
Edit: I agree that it would not hurt to experiment with it in Arena though

I know that many people DESPISE getting cross-mapped by the Magnum in Breakout as is, so the Gunfighter would make things faster, more hectic, and forcing others into close range. Also agree on the SMG bit too. And besides, having two weapons with really short ranges would be semi-redundant at most - especially since Shotgun trades are very annoying - so having an automatic weapon to offset a quick-firing sidearm would be nice.
I hate the magnum. Took forever for me to get used to 5 shots. I’d get 4 good ones and reload, oops dead
I think it would be interesting starting with the GF Magnum. I never use it otherwise because I feel it is outclassed by the other magnums at its req level, so having it as a starting weapon would give me the opportunity to truly use it
I wouldn’t mind GF starts if it weren’t for the awful recoil. I get why it’s there, but it’s such an annoyance.

But if all players start with it, it’d be an equal playing field. But it would be like reach before the bloom update lol
