Pistols? The Most Underrated Weapon In-game!

[Lyokira]

Pistols are fine as they are, I used a pistol and sniper combo exclusively and so far I'm always too of the damage on ark falls by a looooooong way.

Last night I did all the ark falls to the run up of the major and had to do something totally missing the major at the end, I come back and the major is at 5%, i shoot simbiant once and boom im still top of the damage with some FAT loot

Depending on the type of arkfall, the major actually gives the least contribution. Also, I suspect it counts overkill damage towards the contribution, meaning someone driving over all the bugs has a significant advantage becaose of overkilling all the tiny bugs.

I really wish the Magnum didn't suck. Everything it does, a Sniper Rifle does better.

My dream Loadout would be Sawed Off Shotgun+Magnum...

I was using them for awhile, and I wanted more challenge.. so I started using LMGs. (:

The pistols are overpowered.

Where does one find these Wolfhound Pistols? I've been wanting to run with a decent Pistol for a while.. but most of the ones I've found are just ****.

Works even better when you mod it with a crit multiplier barrel

I have mine with a 1.15 crit multi barrel, and while I think it's nice. I think it's better with a falloff damage barrel so it can work as a short range sniper (mixed with a good scope of course).

Still, I love my Wolfhound pistol too. Can pack a nice punch.

Luck. Also protip: every vendor has their own special of the hour, so jump around.

I've always disregarded pistols due to low base damage and lower clip. I guess I'll have to research them again.

Got lucky last night.

Found an epic Wolfhound with the assassin synergy (+6% crit mult and 15% more damage on next shot after a critical kill), 1.15x crit multiplier and 10% ego recharge on full reload.

It one shots 99'ers already not counting the synergy :O

I'd kill for this pistol, holy crap.

Does the 15% stack? That'd be grossly OP if it did.

There's really only 4 pistols worth mentioning:
Northstar Flare: AoE, high damage DoT, high crit
Wolverine: 4 shot burst, reasonable damage.
Wolfhound: MASSIVE crit.
VOT Blaster (if I remembered the name right): Massive fire rate.
