I’m calling out to any lucky Guardians who have a max range Heliocentric.
I think there’s a disproportionately small amount of you.
I’ve rolled and picked up countless Helios and all with 2 max range aspects (including Masterwork)
I know there are some Guardians who feel range is useless on sidearms because each perk brings suck relatively tiny increases.
But I’m of the school of thought that so long as you can control the muzzle flip, the range is absolutely paramount.
But I agree it’s all or nothing.
Because a max range sidearm fired whilst boosting backwards afap will hose down far more shotty rushers than a min range one will.

I haven't used it in a while but I have kept 2 PVP focused ones with Precision Instrument (MT & PM).. I think that may help with shotgun rushers (better to have than not imo).. max range I have is 53 with ballistics.. but I wouldn't mind that 68 range you are talking about. I don't know in that slot the sidearm you feel good about can do the job with a good backpedal (forgiveness, fioritura, anonymous, or even keening doin a good job right now.. and using fool's remedy in IB)
