Anyone have any good experience with the TR pistols before I spend the certs to buy one of them? Since they a re essentially the only CQC weapon we have besides the knife, I was wondering if I should upgrade from the default pistol. Thoughts?
Do not waste certs on the emperor. For the time being, it's a waste. It used to do a bit more damage than it does now. but they nerfed it for some reason during the beta. Currently there is no real reason to use it over the default (which is pretty nice).
Actually I am wrong. As of December 6th the damage of the Emperor pistol has been increased from 112 → 167. So it might actually be worth a look now.
But you don't have the super-fast firing that you do with the default. I can almost empty a full magazine into an enemy within a second. Keep that in mind.
Indeed, I'm in no hurry to buy it as the repeater is a great pistol, but at least now it isn't totally pointless. Before it was a repeater without the burst fire lol. Now it's a single shot that does a bit more damage per shot than the repeater.
What we Need is a revolver-style weapon. Something that hits slow and hard. *cough cough gimme a Magshot.
