Just thought I'd let you know that sidearms can't cross map you so if you play less like a dual wielding machine gun god and you sit and play more defensively, you can kill them with ease with any scout, pulse, and some hand cannons! Well isn't that neat. I don't even use sidearms and I don't see them as a problem. This post is just the result of someone who died to sidearms once too many times and all of a sudden is an activist of "making the game fun again". And if you really care about this game you would support it even if the state of the game isn't your favorite at the moment.

Honestly I think side arms are fine. They're frustrating but then all of the specials are because getting Insta whacked is a little humiliating. My only problem is in pvp with the constant meta guns. Personally I think this is because there's not enough of divide between pve and pvp. Chaos works well with the pve formula but not so much with the fair engagement expectations of pvp. It's not broken by any means but the constant presence of meta guns like year one thorn or the current palindrome steals a little bit of thunder from the experience.

each meta gun has a counter like chaos dogma to ice breaker, but using that puts you at a disadvantage to sidearms.
