Not a pistol guy, more big-mag SAW and CS-X user....

I've got a passel of Wolverines and Wolfhounds.
Recommendations to start leveling?

Something else I should use, and scrap these?

Thanks for advice.

The wolfhounds are one of the best pistols if not the best they do massive critical damage so start with those.

Can you aim? If so, Wolfhound all the way. It's shocking how fast a Wolfhound will take things down if you can make critical hits.

Probably this.

That said, I personally get on better with the Wolverine. The crits are lower, but those bursts are just amazing. I found that especially when using a sniper, the Wolverine was great when rushed and I used it in place of a shotty or smg and had great success with it.

I don't get on so well with the Wolfhound, but I want to and I keep trying :(

Thanks, I'll start/focus on these.

I wanted to avoid spending 2 days using something that was 80% pointless.

The Wolfhound is my favorite gun in the entire game. Get one with a decent nano, and preferably one with a crit bonus. Throw a +12 mag mod on it, skip the sight, and use a barrel that increases crit. That should get you up to 5x crit, meaning you have 24 bullets each capable of dealing about 2k damage. You will be amazed at what that actually ends up doing to enemies

I was amazed what a 20 lvl did for sniping with a SAW.
I was good at 15, but 20 really surprised me.

Looking forward to pistol *now*. Thanks.

Here's an example of a run with a green Wolfhound, with pistol level 7.

I thought pistols were completely useless until I saw someone point out the crit multiplier. Was running around with a SAW thinking I was doing damage

It's also more fun to play IMHO, since there's skill i aiming involved. Not much skill involved in using a shotgun or LMG

Love the SAW and haven't even leveled it to 20 yet. Can't wait to try the pistols too. Thanks all for the info. I have some great wolfhounds and wolverines set aside.

I have had many first place finishes at Arkfalls because of the Wolfhound.
Just make sure you have Overload and perks to reload quicker as it does require reloading often.
Alternatively you can have a loadout with 2 Wolfhounds and just switch between them
