Mod88 is the most universal. Most of the combat xenos have armor.
M4A3 if unarmored T1s are the main target.
M44 noob bait
VP88 isn’t a standard issue, after many buffs maybe it no longer sucks that much, Mod88 still better.
the m4a3 the vp78 the su-6 are all overpowered as fuck
the mod88 is good if you are a survivor player or if you can’t get another source of AP damage (i find it fun to use as well)
the revolver firing sound is weird but it’s fine if you can plink something since it does shittons of damage
1.Mateba (best looking sprites for sidearms, Accuracy good, you can change the barrel!?!?? Low ammo)
2.Deagle (good damage, low ammo, sprite is peak, based if used as CO weapon, accuracy is bad)
3.M4A3 (beast, can spam it, ammo everywhere, holo points kill, burst up close can kill a ravager)
4.SU6 ( IFF, GOOD FIRERATE!? Lack off ammo, medic go to weapon, shreds but doesn’t kill, small magazine)
5.MOD (free AP, fire rate slow, sad damage, accuracy good)
6.VP ( most damage out of any pistol, accuracy ass, low ammo)
7.M44 (deals mosqutio damage, limited ammo, nerfed to the ground, only thing is the heavy ammo that slowdown no more stuns)
M44 has more damage in a 7 shot cylinder than a full mag of normal M4A3(504 in 7 vs 480 in 12), and when it comes to AP wise its on par with mod 88 if your using marksman, you get less damage sure, but you dont have any falloff issues so you will do the full 55 damage at full screen compared to mod 88. I’m not sure what you meant by nerfed to the ground given only heavy was nerfed into irrelevancy, while normal ammo was buffed.
yeah, after the insane damage buff the m44 has recieved, it’s a decent pistol all things considered. it can’t beat the m4a3 and mod88, but it’s no longer a shit tier weapon.
Apart from the fact it’s got a cool sound of a sniper rifle, I do not feel like its positioning changed. Aswell as it’s not a reliable sidearm, you can’t reload it with one hand and the fire rate is slow. At most it looks good as an execution weapon.
