S&W Revolver, what else?

Pointless - Primary then AUG. You end up with whatever pistol.

It depends of your merc. For exemple, with Fletcher, you really want to get the Empire-9.

I’m mainly trying to decide for Redeye, since his augments are all kind of equally useless across all of his loadouts I think the combination of primary + pistol is more important in his case. So essentially I want to know which is best out of the M9, Caulden and DE. 50.

But I’m interested in the others too.

I don’t think you’ll gain much from this poll. The raw numbers are mostly useless, just because a pistol appears to have a better dps, doesn’t mean that the spread makes it worse out of shotgun range.

Just try them all and take the one you like best- for me, it’s also very important how much screen it takes away, if the ADS feels good and also (very small contribution :slight_smile: ) the sound the gun makes.
You don’t need to have bronze quality for that test, simple copper/iron will suffice and you need to make those anyways during trade up.

Ah yes, Fletcher! True call.

I guess Redeye too, but I’ve zero understanding of the Merc. I’d probably go for a medium, may be low damage higher RoF pistol / machine pistol of possible. Reason being, I assume you likely tagged the opponent and they’ll be low on health, so you only need to hit them 1-2 times in the head. You can put down a lot of bullets quickly and being able to move / jump about too. Which pistol that is, I don’t remember, but NOT Deagle!

It’s the M9.

From my own experience, it didn’t went too bad when I used Caulden with RedEye, using the G75 loadout. It has only 7 ammo in the clip, but it feels enough to finish damaged players. The fact that you have quickdraw in your loadout allows you to start damaging with Grandeur and then finish with Caulden more easly. A sort of nice one-two punch combo.

I’d say also that your secondary choice may be a bit less important if you have the Dreiss.
