I feel like sidearms are supposed to be... well, sidearms (Destiny)

Ran out of ammo in your clip? Switch to Vestian to keep firing without missing a single beat. It's an emergency gun, not something you use all the time like shotguns/snipers.

Kind of like secondaries in modern shooters like CoD.

This. Also, I see it as an emergency short-range primary. Say you're using a scout rifle (or No Land Beyond), and an enemy pushes in at closer range, but still too far for Shotgun. Switching to the Dynasty gives you a better chance to fight than your primary or a shotgun would.

If I were to change anything about it, I'd decrease the damage drop-off by a pinch, and maybe give it a slightly larger mag, but other than that, I've had a lot of fun using it in PvE and PvP.

Maybe the PS4 crew can make a run for the Lighthouse using only Sidearms...
