SoLJae ZionTCD Legacy Rising 351	Posted - 2012.07.17 14:34:00 - [1] - Quote Does anyone of you use them.....I never see them in-game and haven't been killed by one in ages (weeks...lol). I, personally, only used the basic version that comes with the default Heavy Dropsuit on one occassion and that was the first day playing the Beta. It felt worthless and I never went back to it. So, my question is for the killers who DO use them: 1. What pistol types are you using and with what upgrades? 2. Do you find them effective? I almost used one as a backup weapon on one of my Heavy fits, but the CPU/PG requirements were more than the SMGs, which is what i ended up using....
HowDidThatTaste 461	Posted - 2012.07.17 14:47:00 - [2] - Quote I use them on my heavy suit. By the time I run out of bullets or over heat it is very enjoyable to switch to a pistol and one or two shot finish them. The other advantage is that you can run faster with a pistol than an smg in the heavy suit. It also makes me look weak to others as they approach while I'm holding it, then I switch to the hmg and rip them apart

And what level pistol/ machinegun?
Nahtlog 17	Posted - 2012.07.17 14:52:00 - [4] - Quote I've used the militia Scrambler Pistol with the AV default suit, and I've gotten a few kills with the weapon. In the right hands, it can be a devastating weapon. I've dropped people in about 3-4 shots with the militia variant. All you have to do is aim the thing, and it has a nice range too.
Iron Wolf Saber BetaMax. 2867	Posted - 2012.07.17 14:55:00 - [5] - Quote Ive killed quite a few people with the scrambler pistol they hurt ALOT, shields nearly drop instantly to these things.

I use the level 2 and proto type heavy suit with the pro type hmg most of the time I do use the proto type heavy suit but not with pistol The pistol I use is a their 2 with some upgrades I'm not sure, but it is a beast at close range.
jenza aranda BetaMax. 1005	Posted - 2012.07.17 15:13:00 - [7] - Quote the prototype pistol does an insane amount of damage, its great for sneaking up on people and popping one into a hacker's head

Thanks for the reply.....maybe i gave up on the pistols too quickly. I will have to give them another look, since they are apparently such killing machines. Based on some of the other responses to this thread, it looks like they kill in 3-4 shots and disable shields instantly.....i just gotta see this to believe ;-))
Garrett Blacknova Codex Troopers 1849	Posted - 2012.07.17 15:56:00 - [9] - Quote Basically, AR vs. Sniper Rifle is a similar comparison to SMG vs. Scrambler Pistol. SMG has less range and damage per shot, but higher RoF. I personally stick to SMGs because I'm better with them. It's the same reason I use ARs more often than Snipers in most games.

Garrett, with this analogy. are you saying that the pistols have better range than SMGs? that would be a good thing. It is the only reason why I don't use the SMGs as primary weapons--the lack of range. If the pistols really are the more effective killer at range, then I really have to reconsider them as my secondary.....that is if i can fit them in with the necessary PG/CPU requirements.

Iron Wolf Saber BetaMax. 2867	Posted - 2012.07.17 17:55:00 - [11] - Quote Yeah if you are a good shot and can make them count the pistol is what you want for a sidearm.

The Pistol is DEFINITELY more effective at range. It's not Sniper or AR level (obviously), but it's good.
DonRodie II 14	Posted - 2012.07.17 17:58:00 - [13] - Quote i love using pistols as a sidearm in fps. I hope the have different pistol design models. Also it would be kool if I could change the color of my pistol from yellow to red and also add a scope to it.
William HBonney Imperfects Negative-Feedback 318	Posted - 2012.07.17 18:35:00 - [14] - Quote pistols sadly do no have enough total damage output unless leveled ALL the way. 6 bullets at 84 dmg is about 500 damage, a leveled up creon breach does 500+ dmg with 7 bullets, the breach SMG does it in 12 bullets...the problem is...SMG has 72 bullets, AR has 48, pistol ONLY has 6...MAX of 11 soo you miss and you aren't killing.
Johnny Guilt Algintal Core Gallente Federation 50	Posted - 2012.07.17 18:49:00 - [15] - Quote they're good if the enemy is standing still or running in a straight line infront of you, you need at least 5-6 bullets to kill assault suits and maybe 3 for scouts you can unload a clip pretty quicky so the DPS is pretty high but that if all the bullets hit.You have to ADS most of the time when at range and hipfire at close range but you can spam the trigger. i see no difference from assault pistols to the regular pistol beside the max ammo capacity and CPU/PG requirements(the ROF is void when you tap the shoots and dont spam).i havenst used any burst ones since last build so i can make note of them. also i think they have less CPU//PG requirement than the SMG variants,though the smgs are more reliable

Icy Tiger 496	Posted - 2012.07.17 20:01:00 - [17] - Quote Prototype Assault Pistols can kill basically anyone in less than 6 hits. Burst Pistols, I'm not too sure about.
