Is it just me who thinks that these weapon archetypes are simply outperformed by everything else?
Sidearms have short range but decent fire rate, you’d think that would make them lethal at close range,something like SMGs, yeah? Nope, it’s no better than hand cannons’ that have better range and stats.
On the other hand we have Bows. Charge time comparable to linear fusion rifles but considerably lower damage. Making optimal and average TTK values way above 1 second. Something that’s very rare in current Crucible meta.
Are these weapon archetypes gonna see some improvements or are they gonna continue being left out? Imo, would be nice if we got some (or all) bows using special ammo and sidearms being more lethal at close ranges.

You know I just wish sidearms would hit hard at the ranges they shoot. Whereas hand cannons are close quarters combat, sidearms should be for extremely close quarters combat. There is a reason why they were weapons of choice for assassins, officers, and other professions. In real life they are a very good back up weapon and great for overall self defense. When i play destiny 2 with sidearms I want to feel like John wick! I just dont get that when playing.
