KING CHECKMATE Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 4753	Posted - 2014.04.03 02:19:00 - [1] - Quote Im an SMG user. After 1.8 Dropsuit command respec i stopped using my beloved SCRAM rifle and started using SMGs since im dedicating myself ffully into E-war / speed tanked scouts. Now, im NOT planning on stopping the usage of my beloved/despised Matari SMg, but mostly looking for a Sidearm to complement it. Now i've been using Breach ARs , SG, and even Mass drivers as ''sidearms'' but the problem is that when switchign weapons out of cloak the ''L'' Slot comes out first , so having to do 2 Weeapon swaps or HOLD R2 in order to get to my Ishi SMG is a psin. I tested all the new sidearms and im....sadly , unpleasantly surprised. But i only tested the STD versions so some feedback could work for me... So out of curiosity, which new sidearm do you think is best? CLOAKS are Fine, stop the QQ and get your awareness and game , UP.

Heathen Bastard The Bastard Brigade 1167	Posted - 2014.04.03 02:22:00 - [4] - Quote I like the magsec, it's basically an assaul rifle(range, damage, and fire rate are almost identical) though you need to be careful about the charge time until you get used to it. If you hear the words "WORTH IT!" look about, something hilarious just happened.
Awry Barux Ametat Security Amarr Empire 1598	Posted - 2014.04.03 02:23:00 - [5] - Quote Magsec, blatantly. Ion pistol would be great if the charge shot allowed a few shots afterwards, like the SCR, but without that it's just bad. The charge shot is useless, and without that, the ion pistol is just a worse SCP. The bolt pistol only does 40 more DPS than the Tac SR, and much less if both are HSing. The bolt pistol also has bugged maximum range- it can't hit beyond about 60m, which really makes it the LR of sidearms, since it's awful in CQC. Respec in 1.8 due to huge battlefield role shift for MinLogi! All my posts are respec posts (Gò»°Gûí°n+ëGò»n+¦ Gö+GöüGö+ LockmeBro!
Racro 01 Arifistan 501st Knights of Leanbox INTERGALACTIC WARPIGS 264	Posted - 2014.04.03 02:40:00 - [6] - Quote ion pistol. testing has shown the charged shot is at least 500 damge from the t-12 the ion psitol is an absolute nightmare for caldarians and minmattars as the charged shot will all most ohk andy of thier suits. *Elite Gallenten Soldier*
Brokerib Lone Wolves Club 948	Posted - 2014.04.03 02:41:00 - [7] - Quote Still the scrambler pistol. Scrambler for Shield, SMG for armor. Particularly useful if you can get the first shot out of cloak, you can one hit mediums into armor with a headshot, and one shot scouts in general. Plus the scrambler pistol has range over the SMG, so you can start an engagement further out to take down their shields, then mop up in close. Knowledge is power
Supernus Gigas sNk Syndicate 698	Posted - 2014.04.03 02:42:00 - [8] - Quote Ion pistol, no contest. Use it as much as you can before CCP nerfs that absolute beast of a squirtgun. *FIRE UP THE HEAVY MEAT GRINDER! WE'RE HAVIN' CLONE BURGERS TONIGHT, BOYS!*

IF you land that shot. So far, I have never been killed with an ion pistol. not for lack of people trying either. hell, I've never even been hit by a charged shot from one. and the actual data sheet says 350 ish.

DeadlyAztec11 Ostrakon Agency Gallente Federation 4929	Posted - 2014.04.03 02:43:00 - [10] - Quote Tactical SMG. The Ion Pistol is only good against scouts, the MagSec is good, buy the SMG is better, and the Bolt Pistol is good but lacks a real competitive reason to run (no real niche gameplay wise). The Tactical SMG variant offers the best overall performance. Taco Cat backwards is still Taco Cat a¦Ñ_a¦Ñ

The Tactical SMG variant offers the best overall performance. Do you mean Assault? Not sure which one you're referring to. OP, I'm a big fan of the Bolt Pistol. It is a bad gun right now, though.

Talos Alomar Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 2142	Posted - 2014.04.03 03:21:00 - [20] - Quote The ScP's damage profile complements the armor eating SMG well, as well as being really fun to use. But my favorite new sidearm in the magsec. It's got great range and damage, and charge time is negligible. Anyone with half a brain can adjust to the charge time, and it's range would help you out at distances that the min SMG can't reach. The bolt pistol could be good for nailing the last bit or armor on someone who's backpedaled out of SMG range, but It's always felt a tad underwhelming. Gal-mando. Because the best sidearm is a shotgun.

PARKOUR PRACTIONER R 0 N 1 N 1066	Posted - 2014.04.03 03:33:00 - [21] - Quote The bolt compliments the shotty and knives real well. Looking forward to getting my Kaalutaka Bolt. Ion is nice with the SCP or knives. SMGs are always cool. Magsec works well with the AR. The bolt pistol is a hybrid weapon, I like using it with my EX0 cause explosive weapons are weak against shielding. SMG works well with any weapon or just itself. And plus, the bolt is a mini-shotgun so it hits really hard. I dual wield them to look badass but my aim could use some work. lol Proficiency X in Rage, No-Scopes, and Mass Driver Direct Hits Nova Knife Operation lvl 5 \m/ Amateur Proficiency X
Garrett Blacknova Codex Troopers 4819	Posted - 2014.04.03 03:42:00 - [22] - Quote Bring your SMG into CQC with a Magsec user, and if you're competent, you WILL win. Bring your SMG to a fight at 30m or more with a Magsec user, and if they're competent, you WILL lose. Bring both. SMG as primary, Magsec as secondary. They handle similarly enough that you should be able to adjust quickly from one to the other, but differently enough that you won't get confused about which is which. Keep distance and aim down sights with Magsec, or rush in and hipfire spray with the SMG. The reason I say to have the SMG as your primary is because the delay on firing on top of the time it takes to switch out of cloak will cost too much in CQC situations, but at range, you have that little extra buffer of time to swap weapons and pull the Magsec.

DOnt matter the map,. I'll always be 10mts away from my enemy. So the MAg Sec seems to have no purpose to my fits. Ty for the detailed explanation thou.

Beck Weathers Ghosts of Dawn General Tso's Alliance 917	Posted - 2014.04.03 03:55:00 - [24] - Quote Bolt pistol for those heart stoping skill shots, I have never been killed by an ion pistol and have to work extra hard to kill with it, especialy with its teribad hit detection. These forums must be located in the Californin country side, there is whine as far as the eye can see.
The Eristic Sad Panda Solutions 344	Posted - 2014.04.03 04:03:00 - [25] - Quote The new ones are fun, but have issues, especially the pistols. Ion is my favorite, but needs 1-2 more in the clip (due to the ridiculous dispersion) or more a bit more damage and a better reason to use the charge function. Bolt just seems broken half the time, but hits like a freight train when it decides to work.
Garrett Blacknova Codex Troopers 4819	Posted - 2014.04.03 04:06:00 - [26] - Quote KING CHECKMATE wrote: So much different opinion im starting to feel like NONE of these weapons are superior just apply to different play styles. Ty for the info, keep em coming. I think this sums it up nicely.
Oswald Rehnquist 1322	Posted - 2014.04.03 04:32:00 - [27] - Quote I think it goes something like this NK SMG ScP MSMG BP / IP FP My favorite is the bolt. Both the bolt and magsec are like the LR of the sidearm world. The problem with the bolt is the absolute range is the same value as the effective range, so you have like a 40-60 range which to utilize the bolts best traits (also useless operation skill), its also only an executioner/harrier pistol. The MSMG suffers from massive kick (operation skill not working?) which hinders its long range capabilities, and the delay hurts CQC, and while the kick can be controlled, when going against anything that has an optimal that covers the 35-45 range their weapon will be more precise and score more headshots than the MSMG, which is critical as alpha is very important in the sidearm world. The Ion has the potential to be an absolute beast should they fix hit detection. With the number of scouts on the field I was one shotting quite a few peeps, so in that manner its a very ammo efficient scout killer. Below 28 dB
Spectral Clone Dust2Dust. Top Men. 2066	Posted - 2014.04.03 06:02:00 - [28] - Quote Lulz Ion Pistol... SMG is the best SMG, due to damage profile and hip-fire. ScP is the best sidearm. Always have, always will be. Dont waste your SP on useless junk guys! Drop it like its hat. I´m a fat scout. Do you even lift bro?
Johnny Guilt Algintal Core 630	Posted - 2014.04.03 06:26:00 - [29] - Quote magsec is best for me got to love those iron sights, Ion pistol would be considered IF it worked right A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. GalHeav E-vo
Ghost Kaisar Fatal Absolution Dirt Nap Squad. 4019	Posted - 2014.04.03 06:33:00 - [30] - Quote Ion pistol needs some tweaks to be good. But I gotta say, the Proto Ion Pistol is a BLAST to use. Charges quick, deals great damage, and it fantastic at taking down shield tankers. You can just never trust the charge to OHK targets at full health. Spam a few shots first to soften the target, and then blast them away with a charge. In honesty though? NK are the best sidearm ever. Followed closely by the SMG and ScP. Most fun weapons? Flaylock and Ion Pistol, followed closely by the Bolt. I got my cloak and daggers, I'm a very happy Ghost I hack at Mach V
