Why Is There No Sidearm?

There should be a sidearm for King's Fall

7

There should be a sidearm for the Trials of Osiris

10

There should be a sidearm for both

130

There should not be sidearms for either

Currently, there is every type of weapon in the raid and osiris but sidearms (and swords, but the swords are so similar). I looked in the armory, and there is none. I think that sidearms in these two activities should be added. What about you? (Bump this to bring this to Bungie's attention)

  • Pretty late to the party but here's my thoughts: The majority of people are not good with sidearms since they need to aimed and timed just right in order to get consistent kills. Most people assume a fusion rifle or shotgun is a much better choice. They're wrong, but then again...they can't aim for shit anyways. I recently obtained The First Curse and have been spending time with it. It is easily my favorite hand cannon, but it lacks in the close range department. Enter: Havoc Pigeon. I can kill shotgunners, fusion riflers, and even some supers! (Ignore my make believe vocabulary) Running a ranged primary is always a risk in pvp. There are so many people that run a rushing type of setup and that makes it difficult to shine in close range encounters. Sidearms keep the attackers at a mild distance while also doing massive damage in a very short burst of trigger pulls. Tl;dr-- Sidearms are designed to aid long range primaries like Mida Multi Tool, The First Curse, and most pulse rifles. It's just sad how many people use them incorrectly.

      • At least a trials side arm. Seriously we need this to solidify their existence.
