Sidearms are a huge flop. They were merely created to give the illusion of more gear but they are terrible. They didn't even make a raid version. Yet extra sidearm ammo and reload speed are possible rolls. This is only to further reduce the ideal drops. They should remove them entirely asap.

Sidearms if used properly are like a new last word

You have to ADS and start chasing people yelling 'NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH, STOP!'.

You're right it's trash. In the military world, then are many reasons for having a small pistol backup but Destiny doesn't utilize it well. They need to beef them up to make them desirable (un-nerf, if you will).

I can't help myself, but every time I pull the trigger on the sidearm, I end up saying "pew pew" into my mic. I've tried to control it, but can't. It's probably one of the (many) reasons that I don't get invited back into fireteams.

Ever since I got vestian dyansty I have loved side arms. My new favorite is havoc pigeon love it :)

Sidearms are one of the simplest, fastest killers in PvP, and therefore will not go anywhere. They're useful and balanced.
-
Agreed. Tired of getting these stupid weapons out of legendary engrams.
-
Love my sidearms
-
Sidearms are my bae. Need to shred a Knight? Sidearm. Need to stop a shotgun rush cold? Sidearm. Need to do DPS to Oryx? Probably not Sidearm, but it would be funny.
-
YOU WON'T TAKE THE HOVEY COMBO FROM ME!
-
I think they're fun to use. Could be a just bit more powerful tho and I wish they had better sights.
-
Nah, lots of people like them. I'll take more variety any day, even if I don't personally care for it.
-
havoc pigeon ftw
-
Sidearm is OP as shit. And balanced. Rewards close range offense and defense, and punishes for trying to use it out of its range
-
How do you have that emblem and that artifact wtf
-
Not true. My iron wreath kills.
-
My friend was by himself chilaxing like a balla then all of a sudden these shmucks came into the building. Both of them ram at him with a shotgun...and he took an exception to that so did his sidearm
-
?????
-
Op doesn't know how to use them. Side arms are perfect.
-
WHAT!?!? I was looking for a reason to come back.... I'll burn the game then
-
Don't take away my baby
-
Have you ever used a sidearm against a hard charging shotgunner? Doesn't end well for them, that's for sure.
-
No they amazing I use them a lot now. Great in open maps as a rush weapon or primary support

The Vestian Dynasty was my goto special in IB for post-HOW. Fit my play style perfectly and I did well. Haven't found a good one in year 2 yet.
