We like useless things, it makes us feel special to have them, particularly when we're done collecting useful things.
And when I'm running my swarm launcher fittings I always have to rely on a sidearm and melee attack for defense against infantry, a faster reload really can mean life or death in some cases -- particularly when you have less experienced FPS players fighting.
P.S.
Also useless:
Chocolate sprinkles on chocolate frosted doughnuts.
The hole they put in the middle of a doughnut
Doughnut holes themselves.
Pixie Sticks
AV Grenades when your opponent doesn't call in vehicles
Proto gear when you spend the entire match riding in a tank
Drop uplinks that are being camped |

The skills are meant to be cumulative. Each 10th of a second adds up as you train more skills, and while each one might feel insignificant, you never know which one might be the one that saves you. There are many situations where a contest was won by a fraction of a second, and if you're gearing your abilities and skills toward capitalizing on every second of the match -- then the rapid reload skills make sense for you -- particularly if you've already gotten all of the other skills you need to capitalize on your damage potential. |

Drop uplinks that are being camped I draw the line at making fun of Pixie Sticks! (Although I almost joked on one as a kid, all that dry powder shot down my throat all at once. lol)
If you've got a bag of granulated sugar, an id card, and an old $2 bill, you've got the best replacement for pixie sticks money can buy.
Also, Mobius is right  These "advanced" skills are for the long term hardcore players, not us young pups but the wolves we will become. There will be a day when a fraction of a second will spare you a 10 second respawn delay. |
