I use pistols when:



-- I'm running low on the good stuff

-- I want to snipe a non-threatening target that doesn't warrant sniper ammo [vorcha / flamers]

-- To shoot the tubes on the baby reaper because I'm quicker with that and it works

-- I've got the Revvy but don't have the accuracy upgrade yet and the target is at range

They were good for taking out long-range targets I couldn't Charge at,but the Locust replaced the Carnifex for that,making it useless.The only time I used it on my latest run was when I ran out of HW ammo against the last boss,and he was almost dead,anyways.

Despite my previous comment, to which i adhere as the best use, they are good for stripping armor.

Especially when you're a caster class with nothing available due to cooldowns and only the tempest with no upgrades or ammo powers.

But, wow, if you're in that position then you are in a world of hurt and brought the wrong squad with you.

I prefer Revenant/Viper myself. It eliminates the need for a semi-automatic anti-armour weapon like the Carnifex.

It's hard to argue with this. That combo essentially covers all bases, as both the Revenant and the Viper do the jobs of two weapons at the same time (Rev - AR and Shotty; Viper - Magnum and Sniper)

[Alamar2078]

I go with that combo too but like to horde my sniper ammo ... I still use a pistol on enemies not worthy of getting sniped.

Honestly, outside of Insanity I never used pistols any.

In Insanity I used them for enemys that would be a waste of ammo for my LMG (Behind cover to a certain extent, just pretty weak, etc.) and when I ran out of Sniper ammo/didn't want to waste any. (I'm very snipe happy whenever I play.)

I could be doing it wrong, but it worked well enough for me.

Agreed. Hell, the recoil on the Hand cannon and lack of scope means that, in most practical situations, it isn't even that accurate. The Predator pistol is just total turd, too.

I've just flatly edited them out. Exchanged my Adept's heavy pistol for a Sniper Rifle, added Assault Rifles and Shotties. They;ll stay like that until we get that interesting pistol Kasumi has in the wallpapers.

Straight from the wiki.

The M-6 deals a total of 2,049.6 damage as opposed to the M-3's 2,678.4 total damage. These values are based on base damage values and default ammo counts.



So no, the m3 is not useless.

If your point is based on the idea that the m3 does damage, then congratulations, we already knew this. Most guns do damage, unfortunately.

Put cryo ammo in it and use it against husks.

[thepiebaker]

for my soldier i use the avenger, widow, carnifex, and the escrivator. the escrivator is pretty much useless and i only use it on the tubes on the final boss, and sometimes with husks. i use the carnifex when i want accurate shots that are not so far away that i need to use the widow and ones that i dont wish to waste the widow's ammo on. i use the widow for the high value targets like those guys with health, armor, shields and barriers. everything else i use the avenger. the carnifex is my 2nd most used weapon

[Gumbeaux Jr]

I use guns that look cool...



Heavy Pistol, Locust/Tempest, Widow/Viper, Revenant/Vindy, Cerberus Shotty/Claymore



I seriously love the pistols in this game, and hope BW release a weapon pack soon with the rumored pistol, the Incisor Sniper, and some others.

[Cloaking_Thane]

To challenge yourself in a game that lacks challenge for a majority of parts (yes on insanity)

[numotsbane]

For killing vorcha

for the range when sniper zoom is impractical, but the revenant is too imprecise

for being a badass hand cannon

for when you run out of vindicator ammo.

for shoving in the faces of your fans

Q: What are Pistols good for?

A: For Heroic last stands, intimidating people and executing prisoners.

[FRZN]

Rifles are too lumpy to keep under the pillow.

[Vanguard1219]

I've personally been using the Carnifex a lot on my Insanity run-through with my Soldier. Sure, it's slow-firing, but it's pretty damn accurate and packs a hell of a punch, and combining that with Heightened Adrenaline Rush is an easy way to take out non-shielded targets without wasting ammo from your more valuable weapons.

[lovgreno]

It can be fun to use when you get bored of the other weapons. Also it looks cool and sounds cool.

I always whip out the pistol when I'm in a tight spot and need to reload my other weapon - that's exactly the entire purpose of a pistol: to be a back-up weapon.

The only situations where I use the Carnifex is for slow, heavily armored enemies at close-mid range like Krogan, and I don't have a more appropriate weapon available (usually on classes like Engineers or Sentinels.) I soften them up with an Incinerate or similar power, then finish them off with the Carnifex. It's got a low ammo count, but it usually deals enough damage that a single clip is enough to finish them off.

adrenaline rush plus headshots with heavy pistol rapes
