Spam hipfire

The problems with doing this with the ion pistol is:

A) The hipfire spread is massive
B) It randomly overheats during this hipfiring
C) There are other sidearms that do better DPS on automatic at longer ranges


It's simply not that effective to spam hipfire. The charge shot -can- be genuinely useful at times but it's still suboptimal general use.

A.) Use Gal Assault w/ sharpshooter III
B.) Be light on the trigger finger. Holding a tad bit too long will overheat when spamming
C.) Not gonna lie, that's true.

A and B are totally doable. I used to run Ion Pistol on sniper scouts due to its high burst DPS in CQC.

Scout coming up to my perch? Not for long.

I used to duel wield it before it received a buff and guess what it was fine back then too perhaps not perfect but it certainly didn't under perform as much as people made it out to be, and due to the lack of people that used it almost no one knew how to counter it so all I had to do was get close to them and i could burst them down (shotgun range) the hip fire spread doesn't really matter if you're up in their face and the thing doesn't overheat until the last few bullets unless you're holding down the fire button too long

if they are so far away that you cant kill them with hip fire then AIM! seriously there is no spread at the ranges you use it if you simply just aim down sights not to mention that if you use AA that just as the bolt pistol and any other weapon with AA bullets still hip just as long as you're generally aiming in their direction

the seize prevents spamming of charged shots which is good because a well placed head shot can take down a lot of suits not just scouts, and it can bring down a heavy in about 2-3 shots shields or armor (head shots)

the one major thing that should be noted is that kubo has done very well with a lot of orthodox weapons, if someone out there is doing well with these then certainly it isn't under performing at least not as much as people that hardly even use it make it out to be

so please instead of giving your 2 cent input after only using it for lets say a week or heck maybe even a month, how about instead you use it for a while till you get good with it then you can formulate a consensus as to why it should really receive a buff or not

I've used it just as much as I have any other weapon, I've tested everything I can get my hands on, I've done well with all but the breach flay lock (still got about 8 kills with it and no deaths but that was my best score with it) some weapons do need small buffs but most are just fine as they are

Like, at least more ammo or damage plz.

Yes.
