Sidearms are inherently flawed (Destiny)

by Durandal, Monday, August 17, 2015, 14:02 (3484 days ago) @ Funkmon

The issue stems from the hard range limit on sidearms that isn't much further then the range on the Fellwinter's lie for damage and TTK comparable to Dr. Nope.

Why would you ever use one over a shotgun? I've tried in the crucible and perhaps killed 1 guy with it. For something that should approximate the performance of an auto-rifle/hand cannon hybrid it is universally inferior to both, and at the price of the higher performing special weapon slot. I mean it would seem to be the perfect backup for a No Land or Universal Remote, but you are almost always better off with another shotgun or sniper.
