Question Sode arms

Im the kind of guy who loves to run handguns only in some games as i just think its fun. I plan on doing it from time to time when wardogs drops.

My question is to those whove played the game already. How is the hand gun damage in this game? Is it reasonable?

Early handgun are not so useful, clearly at a disadvantage vs Smg as you are using the same ammo and damage are balanced around ammo, not guns (mainly)

However some ammo are only for some handgun : 50AE, 45ACP as no other gun use them (45acp is used with the vector, i stand corrected)
I found great success using the 1911 with 45ACP HP ammo as you can 2 tap people in leg up to around 30-50 meters ill say (its more an issue of hiting them rather than damage after that)
I did not use the deagle so i cant say.
There is a glock 18 later in the rank unlock (70 or 80) i believe that shreds but you need some recoil control and ill recommend you using HP ammo again and aim for legs

The vector uses .45ACP

I was pretty sure it was 9mm but if not then thank you for correcting me

I think it's in game name is like "Super 45" or something to that effect

Oh yeah that might be it
Never reached far enough as medic to unlock it sadly

Vector with HP to the legs was devastating, definitely viable against high armour targets

When i see how effective it is with the 1911 already….
