I know I'm a little late on this and with the upcoming weapon patch i feel like siderarms should be addressed. Sidearms are supposed to be special weapons that should be used between the range of a fusion rifle and a shotgun, but the accuracy is only good when your at shotgun range. So I have thought of some ways to make sidearms a more viable choice in Crucible and PvE.
Sidearms as a whole: Increase initial range and accuracy by 15%-20%
Dreg's Promise: Remove travel time or add tracking like in PvE but not as aggressive.
-
Dregs promise could also use a bit of a range (like you said for all sidearms) and a slight damage buff like maybe a 2.5% increase.
-
That dregs promise part sounds like an amazing idea.
-
I agree that giggly bastard needs a buff, he laughs at everything.
-
A dreg's pistol does not track -_-

Edited by Tremolo: 7/30/2015 1:49:03 AMYou realize the shock pistol used by dregs doesn't track at all right?
-
How about more sidearms?
-
The projectile or energy whatever the sidearm has somehow disappeared into nothingness. Just stupid.
-
You look cute today
-
You must suck with them cause I was hoping for a buff in the next patch just to get that OP fusion feeling again.
-
Venetian dynasty is actually awesome. It fits in balance wise fine with fusions and snipers (obviously not with shotguns, but they're op). Dregs promise though is utter shit.
-
It actually has near perfect accuracy What it really a needs is first to be made a hitscan weapon. Secondly, it needs its sights aligned correctly. When you fire the weapon the sights quickly become misaligned both for aiming and hipfire.
-
Merging shotguns = buffing sidearms
-
I've killed plenty a charging shotgun with sidearms
-
I don't think anyone has ever said they are intended to be used between shotguns and fusions. They are just their for our use as, in fact, sidearms.
-
Dregs promise definatly needs a buff Just got it to put it in my vault, it's awful
-
Decrease bullet travel time but don't remove it.
-
Just remove bullet travel time
-
I haven't gotten Dreg's Promise yet, but I'm pretty happy with the Vestian. I just need to slow down on the trigger a bit, since it seems when I go full speed shots don't register in Crucible.
-
Dregs Promise needs a damage buff as well. It's an absolute pea shooter.
