When I use the Spitfire I'll take a high ROF as a secondary such as a R99 or a Prowler. There's a couple of reasons for doing that. One is that the Spitfire benefits from a barrel stabiliser and while I'm still looking for one I'll look for a secondary that will increase my overall ROF fire because the Spitfire need the stabiliser to sustain longer bursts accurately. Once you have a stabiliser the next problem is the long reload time of the Spitfire. This is where a high ROF secondary comes in handy to add a big punch when you're running low on ammo on the Spit but don't have time to reload.
I always take an RE45 over a P2020. I rarely choose it over an Alternator because the Alternator is a good way of carrying upgrades instead of filling up needed inventory space early in matches. I haven't as yet played a single full match with a pistol as a secondary or main weapon. It has occurred to me to try that, though. Sniper rifles and DMRs are the obvious choice as a mian if you're going to use a pistol as a secondary and the only pistol which makes sense then is the RE45. If in that scenario you took a Wingman instead of an RE45, I think the load-out would be powerful in the right hands, but would ultimately be a poor choice as carrying two single-fire weapons doesn't make sense to me.
I like the way that there is a contrast between all of the guns in Apex at this time. They each have a character of their own which makes them feel to the user as though they are realistic.
If the RE45 was turned into a laser beam it would seem silly, I think. I can understand an ambition to increase its viability as a secondary for the whole matche, but because Apex involves scavenging, there does have to be a sense of needed to get better items.
