A bunch of people do. If you're under the impression the Beamer is the worst pistol in the game I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. The Inquisitor holds that title now.
the beamer actually isnt that bad. it has a better dps at closerange than the manticore, provided you can spamclick the beamer that fast and still remain on target. it's no match for the repeater though which is probably the best starter pistol, if not one of the best sidearms ingame
Yeah, the PS2 Beamer is...functional. It's just the most-vanilla-flavored option in a sea of underwhelming choices (for VS non-NS pistols), at the moment.
lol no one has the Beamer VS3-FB auraxiumed. http://stats.dasanfall.com/ps2/item/7403 Same with Vortexes http://stats.dasanfall.com/ps2/item/16032 http://stats.dasanfall.com/ps2/item/16033 Even people with the Pounders have Auraxiums. Seriously though... Vortexes need buffs. Since ZOE is getting nerfed soon, Vortexes need some sort of re-work.
