Pistols

(Murderous Pie) #1

Think about this: if medium characters get to carry a light wepon as a secondary, and heavies can carry medium weapons, lights would be a bit left out with pistols… would this not mean that the pistols must be just as good as an ordinary primary weapon?:confused:

they still carry smg or rifle

I think heavies are the only ones who can get weapons other than pistols as their secondary. In any case, doesn’t matter… lights can use more weapons that just pistols.

That would be like expecting medium weapons to be as good as heavy weapons, or light weapons to be as good as medium weapons.

I’m sure pistols have their advantages (equip speed, at the very least), but to have them be overall as good as more restricted weapons would be silly. Part of the reason to take a slower body type is to gain better weapons.

Mediums can carry light weapons (smgs ect ect) as a secondary if I’m not mistaken.

With the pistol you get the knife as well.

There might be some awesome pistols with high damage like deagle in CSS :slight_smile: - that one is preferred over smgs sometimes

Lights can carry SMG’s and im sure part of the parkour will have alot to do with getting in close which is usually the SMG’s strong point.

and/or you can combine them into something on, with help of “duct tape” unlock starting from 2 lvl.
this provide access to ultra-super-mega-versative/uber-hyper-powerful CQB weapon, called “knistol”.

Fans of the light are failing to realize that the SMG is fast to equip even if they have a large mag on it. And if they run out of ammo at a bad time the pistol equips very quickly.

As a light you’re sacrificing power for flanking ability. As a heavy you’re sacrificing speed for the ability to walk in their front door and touch their face.
