Sidearm Customization

itwasKeyes​ I completely agree with you. The current 60-point system makes it very difficult to create a well-balanced sidearm without having to make some significant compromises.

In many cases, you’re forced to sacrifice useful attachments just to stay within the point limit, which greatly limits the ability to create tactical or well-rounded pistol builds.

I do think some adjustments would help here. Increasing the total number of available points to something like 70 or 75 could be a good solution.

As you mentioned, the current system often forces players into difficult choices that limit customization more than necessary. A bit more flexibility would make sidearms much more interesting and enjoyable to customize.

happy to see another enthusiast haha

I'm fearful the scorpion is going to end up being the Meta choice and further deepen the issue for semi autos, but I've yet to play with it so we'll see. 

itwasKeyes​ I agree, I also hope the Scorpion won’t end up being too powerful. However, if we look at how it performs in most other games, it’s usually a weapon with very high fire rate but limited ammo capacity and relatively poor accuracy, especially at medium range.

Because of those characteristics, it tends to be strong in very close quarters but much less effective outside of that role. If it is implemented with those same limitations in BF6, I don’t think it will be an overpowered weapon.

In the end, we’ll really have to see how it performs once it’s released and players start using it in real matches.

That was the idea behind the G18 in BF4 but it was still the meta choice for years

yeah the beta had 100pts on them and that was nice.  but tbh I dont think they want you to use just a secondary lol.  it'll be interesting to see what the full auto pistol comes out being.  I can see them making it a primary.

I don't ever see a situation in which using a secondary is preferred over a primary except in cases like CQC while you have a sniper rifle. In those cases the revolvers outclass the semi autos by so much it makes sense to assist the semi autos with some additional points.  The additional points won't really help the revolvers so it's be a nice tweak

itwasKeyes​ I completely agree with you.

we want 75 points.
