So with the drop of the Iron Banana and return of Lord Salad, I've found myself in a predicament.
1) I'm an aggressive Zone capper/defender
2) I'm not good with snipers I've accepted that
3) I love to use auto rifles (my TITAN has my favorite) so I love close encounters
4) I hate to camp in the back.
So I'm one of those weird players that like to use weapons that aren't supposed to be "meta" so this IB, I walked away from my matador shotgun and started using my [b][u]GOD[/u][/b] roll of a sidearm. And I have been loving it!
-It's a great counter to shotgun rushers, back peddling and ramming rounds in their face till they drop.
-It's also great when used in cover when people are trying to rush zones, you pop out and hammer a few rounds out, pop back behind cover.
-I've also noticed they have GREAT accuracy while firing while in the air, this is good for those hiding behind rocks, or around corners, you jump over the rocks, or jump through a door and fire rounds into the top of their head.
My preferred sidearm.
[b][u]Jabberhakke-D[/u][/b]
Sureshot-IS
Hotswap
Zen Movement
High caliber rounds
TL:DR I've been loving sidearms now with the shotgun nerf, who else likes them?
-
I only use dregs promise
-
The last IB I played in yesterday I "heard" someone using a sidearm and remembered reading this thread. I stayed fairly close and watched. They owned so many with that sidearm that it sold me. Plan on using it tonight to test it out. Hope to get another Jabber, not real pleased with the present perks. Though snapshot should prove useful.
-
Love my dregs promise
-
Ironwreath is love Ironwreath is life My usual loadout is NLB and that Sidearm
-
YESSS! I finally got the ironwreath and it will always be used in PvP
-
Same... Auto rifle: hakons hatchet Sidearm: havic pigeon Best loadout
-
I love the havoc pigeon and jabberhakkë
-
I liked Vestian. I didn't like any of the Y2 sidearms I tried shortly after TTK launched, and haven't tried them again since. Gave up on them.
-
My Jabberhakke on my Titan has Rangefinder, Relentless Tracker, and QuickDraw. Love this pistol. Gotten triple kills with one mag lol.
-
The reason they have great accuracy while airborne is because of the bullet travel. By the time the bullet leaves the barrel it's where the sight is due to travel in regards to gravity
-
I wished they had more hip fire accuracy and less stability tbh
-
I don't always use a sidearm but when I do it's a mathafackin conviction II with rangefinder and battle runner biatch
-
Havoc pigeon all the way
-
When I decide to pull it out, I love my Conviction: Outlaw Feather Mag Reactive Reload Insane fast reload followed by massive damage output. Love it for PvE as much as PvP.
-
The ironwrath lord Saladin sold is still my favorite! Perfect rolls for a pistol :)
-
I love my Jabberhakke. Side arms are way underrated and under used imo. It counters shotguns like a mofo. I only wish they had a full auto roll. I think I would cry. Lol.
-
I finally got a good one a couple weeks ago. I think it's still on my Titan.
-
jabberhakke-D is god
-
From time to time I use them. I bought the one from the Crucible Quartermaster.
-
I loved vestian dynasty and definitely wish there was a year 2 version of it for sale. But i've been enjoying my iron wreath-D with the "Not like the others" scout rifle.
-
I use an ironwreathe with a crappy roll, but it works pretty good.
-
I use them sometimes. They are in a good spot as a special weapon. I have ironwreath-d with feeding frenzy, zen moment, and appended magazine.
-
dude like Dreg's promise ftw (kidding)
-
Check out my Iron Wreath. I love it especially when I have arms that make me reload it faster.
-
I love them just for the fact I don't have to hunt for special when I'm getting low unless I end up on a killstreak, I only run it with nlb so I doubt it use mine the same, I have quick draw, crowd control and feeding frenzy on mine (crucible vendor roll) and it's great to use as a clean up weapon or to take care of shotgunners, them and fusion rifles are underrated as shit right now I feel like people are just scared to try new things
-
I want too start using them but can't get one with good roles T-T
