Sidearm noob
I've never really used a sidearm all that much but I was wondering what perks you would look for? I'm assuming range perks are most desirable?
Edit: Thoughts on the vendor antons rule?
-
Any hitscan sidearm will be decent, find the archetype you like by trying then....
-
7 RepliesIf you're talking about PvP then i really don't think range is all too important. Sidearms are best used by moving in on an enemy fast and agreesive and unloading on him. I would say to focus on stability, target aquisition, and reload speed. I personally use Dreg's promise or The Trespasser. Not really sure about Anton's rule. I think it's pretty much accepted that the Wormwood is the best legendary sidearm. If not the best overall.

1 ReplyUse something else, Destiny is no longer competitive. (Trials of osiris ended) I still do not understand why people use "Meta" things considering I enjoy just screwing around with other weapon types (But if you need a Sidearm for No land beyond setup it is Ironwreath-d ( reactive reload, zen moment or crowd control, Jaberhaake-d is obtained from a legendary engram it has a CHANCE to drop for ya it has a set god roll)

Havoc pidgeon, wormwood, ironwreath and the two exotics are the best I think. For perks: rifled barrel, Zen moment, hot swap and HCR if u have well trained fingers.

3 RepliesTo be honest the best perk I think is hcr. But you have to consistently land headshots for in order to be effective. I have a queens choice on my titan with hcr, feeding frenzy and reactive reload. As soon as I get that first headshot in, it's usually over for the other guy since they're no longer able to trade shots with me. I've hit a few triple downs with the first kill proc feeding frenzy which then gives me reactive reload for any easy two kill with a single clip. Not too many people use queens choice due to where you have to go to get it. But it's by far one of the best sidearms that you can get.

10 RepliesStart with a Wormwood , or for more ammunition capacity- Jabberhake..... And if you get real lucky Trespasser exotic The rest aren't worthy

4 Repliesantons rule, impeacher, and the blinding blaze are trash no matter the roll. wormwood jabberhakke or ironwreath are you best options

2 RepliesEdited by GreyLightning: 8/23/2017 2:35:03 PMAs others have said avoid the low impact sidearms like Antons, Blinding Blaze and Impeacher You want a Wormwood, Jabberhakke-D or Ironwreath-D. Havoc Pigeon and Teacup Tempest are ok, with right perks Best Perks: Hidden Hand or Rangefinder, HCR, Zen Moment Appended mag or Reinforced Barrel can be also be good
-
I have had many wormwoods, the perks I found to be most reliable on it were Sureshot, high calibre rounds, zen moment, rangefinder.
-
Range and stability like always. Hidden Hand and Reactive Reload are also very nice
-
I've got an Arc burn Teacup with mulligan and it's been loving PvP lately because of it...and I -blam!-ing hate PvP right now. Glitchy Greens -blam!-ing everywhere.
-
The wormwood archetype is the best archetype. The high rate of fire lower impact sidearms are arse and the low rate of fire high impact sidearms are arse.
-
6 RepliesZen moment, rifled, Hidden hand.
-
6 RepliesUltimate god roll perks: rangefinder, rifled barrel, hcr on a wormwood Rifled barrel can be swapped for something like reactive reload or crowd control

1 ReplyLook for the dismantle perk and equip a solid fusion rifle.

1 Reply[quote]I've never really used a sidearm all that much but I was wondering what perks you would look for? I'm assuming range perks are most desirable? Edit: Thoughts on the vendor antons rule?[/quote] Wormwood FWC. Go for Hidden Hand as the signature perk. Rangefinder used to be the choice, but it's only a 2% damage falloff reduction. High caliber rounds, Zen moment, range increasing perks are all good choices in other slots. Dregs Promise is good too. You can probably get one in a few Challenge of Elders runs easily.

Edited by iMisai: 8/23/2017 3:57:14 AMMy go to for that one time I used a sidearm is rangefinder, high cal, hand loaded on a wormwood
-
I picked up a wormwood recently with high cal rounds, hand loaded and rangefinder. Never much been into sidearms but this seems like a solid roll.
-
I like my havoc pigeon. It has: TrueSight/Surrounded/Reactive Reload/High Caliber Rounds I don't think it's even a good Roll, but I like it a lot.

1 Replyis greg's any good these days?

Edited by Rayland_Givens_: 8/23/2017 2:37:58 AMConviction from New Monarchy with range finder quick draw and high caliber rounds is god roll...leave it to me to find one that YouTube watchers have no clue about.

1 ReplyTrespasser .. say no more ! It's exotic, all perks are the same on every gun , you just choose what you like. I previously was shotgun melee . Now it's Trespasser melee or just keep firing that 3rd burst is great . Just don't run out of ammo
-
I have arrived, look no further.
