Full Auto Pistols

    When are the other factions going to get a full auto pistil, I see the VS one in the game, you just can't buy it or cert it?

    Currently it is causing an imbalance, one that needs to be brought into line, and it seems like it can as the weapons exists.

    Repeater isn't Full Auto.

    He said VS not TR.

    He said it is currently causing imbalance referring to the TR which is not fully auto......

    The only pistol that could be referred as full-auto is the default TR pistol which is actually a 3 shots burst (spammed turns it auto). This pistol is devasting in CQC but the default NC pistol is probably close 2nd (semi-auto), high damage and great accuracy at range. The unlockable VS pistol has the exact same stats as the NC default pistol (based on a video I watched recently).

    It's a matter of taste but for sure, if you run out of ammo on your primary weapon in CQC and quickly swap to your pistol, TR gets the edge. Maybe NC and VS pistols should be brought up in DPS to be equal to TR's....99% a pistol is pulled out, it's in CQC.

    Yes your right, its burst fire, and if you just keep tapping that trigger it works as if fullauto, apart from the odd millisecond it does not fire. When compared to the other factions single shot pistols, they are not on par, they exist in game, so why not allow access to them?

    I believe they do have access to it, unlock it.

    I tried the NC pistol and it OWNS (NC account I made). Don't think you even need auto on it. It seemed way more effective than our starter pistol (TR). Switch?

    I was told in another thread that the 3rd pistol you see locked in the VS cert tree is the Facebook promotional pistol reward, it isn't the VS burst pistol. ..and yes I agree more pistol options are needed, I hate the Beamer.

    All the pistols seem to work fine, but the TR seems to have a bigger advantage in close quarters than the VS at medium or NC at long range. Regardless, I'd like to see each faction get access to similar pistols via unlocks. I'm sure they'll add more pistols at some point.

    Your typical NC player is not going to use the Mag-shot for long range shooting, as it's a pistol. The Rebel on the other hand is a down right beast.

    If you ask me the Rebel is what the default starting pistol should be. It's basically a Desert Eagle and fits more with the NC theme than the Wimpshot.

    Who the heck is using it for long range shooting anyway? Terrible. My experience is pure CQB with the pistols and the Mag is very effective. The two other pistols for TR are actually worse (from stats people noted) than the default. So there's nothing else to look forward to. I would gladly take your Mag over our pistol.
