I’m new to game a few weeks now. I really liked the hardcore and historical vibe from Enlisted. Classes with weapon restrictions. It’s really refreshing in today’s “gimme gimme gimme” gaming environment.
That’s why I’m really surprised that pistols are so easily accessible to every single class in every squad with the latest patch.
Call me a buzz kill but I’d like to see some restrictions on pistols just every other weapon system in game. Perhaps just one per squad, via the leader or just for certain classes.
I honest don’t think that many people will use them. If they are silver the it would still cost 9 silver orders to give one to all your troops in a rifleman squad. And some are even more expensive I believe. I agree that everyone should not have one.
not sure about this tho… i always had everyone on the campaigns i play with pistols / tnt packs and mines befor… it wasnt like bronze orders mean anything befor, after a match, so a random case containing a pistol went common after hundreds of purchases.
to a point i have alot of them as stock since i have no one more to equip them…
i will most def buy them that when its unlocked in the sq tech menue. When ammo is out in any way you thank Tittler that you got your good old pistoleeren by your side for quick defense. I even sniped ppl mid range with it and its pretty decent (sometimes).
Ive just noticed that the stars are wrong though. Walter p38 (which was 3 star before the patch is now 2) is way much better then the Mauser that is now 3 and used to be 1. Mauser got an kickback like an mule and hard to consecutive shoot with that thing accurately. So Mauser is a trap rn to buy in my opinion
the only time i could see pistol being seroiusly used is for close ranges when you have a BA(edit: even than a rifle would probably still be better because of the bayonet)- they are worse than even the worst SMGs
i dont really think the change will affect pistol use them much(anything x 0 = 0)
If you have all weapons you wanted you can spend incoming silver orders on pistols. This change imo is aimed purely for players who are playing for a long time already - new ones don’t need pistols and axes to fight but we can give our soldiers something more. Those were meant to be “rare” drops, so the price is fine.
Sadly after 1700 games I still don’t have full, but thats my fault for working 4 campaigns at once . Now however, its time to fix that. I have 400 silver orders doing nothing so why not.
Pistols are not very powerful, but better having one than not, if you are out of ammunition for your main gun.
You could use them to finish downed enemies and save ammunition, but sometimes that’s not very practical.
Well damn it I have 3 campaigns with every soldier with pistols exp packs and large ammo bags and still more than 20+ extra pistols on each campain except tunisia witch I do t play
it’s a seriously good sidearm. Using the hold breath button makes shots with it pinpoint accurate.
