I'm trying not to use one but seriously what's the point. They are superior to any primary except scouts, hence scouts fast becoming the meta. But that doesn't make the rest balanced. Sidearms are quite literally the lowest skill weapon you've ever placed in this game. It's no different at all to when Last Word was utterly broken, except sidearms are even more accessible. Airborne accuracy? Not problem, just face vaguely forward and you'll get 100% headshots anyway. The ammo makes it worse. But come on Bungie, you've already identified in your own weekly notes that sidearms and NLB are overpowered right now, so where's the fix? Crucible is a joke at the moment. Just take a look at the stats on Destiny Tracker where sidearms are outperforming everything in the entire game. [b][u]AS OF RIGHT NOW, WORMWOOD ACCOUNTS FOR 10% OF ALL PVP KILLS. That's just one f***ing sidearm. Never mind the rest. One gun is responsible for a tenth of all the kills in pvp.[/u][/b] The reason sidearms are overpowered is that they have no real weakness, and can be used as a primary weapon. They were meant to be a reactive weapon to suddenly save you and get you out of a tight spot. But that isn't what they are being used for at all. They are being used to roam the map, and they can go head to head with any primary. They are "bad" at long range but when we say bad we really mean worse. The fact is that you can still comfortably use a sidearm at pulse rifle range, and whilst you might not get a 0.6 second kill, you might get a 1.5 second kill instead. The problem is that they excel at short range, are good at medium range, and aren't a complete joke to use at long range. There are better choices for long range by far, but you can *still* aim a sidearm and bag a kill if you catch your opponent off guard. Add to the fact that they require zero skill to use because of the max stability, very high target acquisition, and free ammo, and that's why it's getting the use it is.
