I am thinking about putting out a basic primer on the usage of pistols, and would like input on the validity of this idea. It would encourage more people to use pistols thereby making us less of a rarity, but at the same time, they would not be as good as any of us and may drag down the collective reputation of the duelist, detracting from our psychological effect on the battlefield.
TLDR: Post a basic primer on pistols? yay or nay, other duelists? |

I say go for it, I used to run a Pistol Heavy for haha's and it was actually pretty deadly. I imagine any pistol build would naturally benefit from being used with mouse and keyboard, since headshots are so vital to your success. I stacked two complex damage mods, but honestly, I don't know if you even need one. It might actually be a good idea just to stack shields to buy you time for that headshot, but I don't actually know the numbers. |

my current build uses dual complex mods, a breach, and a KLO-1. I can one shot pretty much anything that's not a tanked out heavy. They take two. |

I've been playing for two days, and I have a certain love of pistols already, though mostly because I'm terrible about killing in one magazine.
Switch to your sidearm! It's faster than reloading. |

and the pistol hits 2x as hard as your assault rifle. |

I'd probably be tossed out in the first rounds, but damn that sounds like fun.
going to leave this up and check it in the morning, if reception is still positive, I'll post that primer tomorrow morning. not enough of a response yet, I know we're few in number, but seriously, there has to be more than just this. |

Take your time when lining up shots. Aim for the head, nothing else matters. The exception is at very close range it's ok to spam as many bullets as you can into their chest since the pistol has similar dps as the AR and you can't really miss/ don't have the luxury of waiting for the perfect headshot. When hip firing, allow time between shots for your spread to decrease. Rapid reload and capacity are your friends. sharpshooter isn't a bad idea either if your a shotty user and want something to kill snipers on a far ledge. One headshot is all it takes, even at extreme ranges. |

I fully endorse this product and/or service.
As I've said before, I effing love my pistol, should be hitting operation 5 within a day or so. Unfortunately I'm a bit outclassed in terms of equipment right now, still waiting on my Gallente assault before I spec into suits so I have trouble fitting higher tier pistols on my militia fit, especially with my laser. I can just about fit a TT3 on one suit, but most often have to use either the KLO1 or my lv2 assault scrambler.
I did try and make a pistol duel wielder, but didn't have enough room for 2 KLOs on it. If somebody were to set up a pistols only tourny though I would try and make it work. Somehow. |

Train up Engineering and Circuitry (I think?) to increase your suit's available PG/CPU levels. Then train up Sidearm Weapon Upgrade if you still need more CPU. |
