Strategy Guide
Strategy Guide[]
|
This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- Landing headshots is very beneficial with this weapon. At a decent fire-rate and mixing in headshots gives the pistol a higher DPS than the Assault Rifle.
- The Pistol can be used as a rifle-SMG hybrid. As it has very good accuracy and almost the same DPS as the Assault Rifle, it is useful at mid to long range, but also useable in close range scenarios.
- Even though the Pistol has a slightly lower DPS than most of the SMGs, it can still be beneficial due to better range, higher damage, speedier reload times, first shot accuracy, and a higher headshot multiplier.
- Epic and Legendary rarities of the Pistol are especially valuable as, compared to their low tier variant, they have a larger magazine, and a slightly faster fire rate.
Counters[]
- The Pistol, due to its small magazine size, can struggle against structures. Taking as much cover as possible can be beneficial when engaging with an opponent wielding a Pistol.

Trivia[]
- Before v32.00 the Epic and Legendary rarities were exclusive to Reload.
- This was the first time a weapon was exclusive to Reload.
Visuals[]
- The Common, Uncommon, and Rare Pistol is based on combination of the American Colt M1911, the Italian/American Beretta M9 and the Belgian/American Browning Hi-Power.
- The hammer, trigger and trigger guard are based of the M9, meanwhile the manual and grip safety are based of the M1911.
- The slide's overall shape is based of the Hi-Power but with the serrations of the M1911 and the M9's cut-out.
- The magazine size is most likely based of the M9's or the Hi-Power's 15 round magazine rather than the 7 rounds of the M1911.
- The 16 round capacity in game could be explained by having a round loaded in the chamber.
- While it is possible for a M1911 to have a 15 round magazine, it would be twice the length of a standard magazine.
- The Common, Uncommon, and Rare Pistol shares its model with the Vigilante from Save the World.
- The Epic and Legendary Pistol is based on a Staccatto XL 2011 , which is based upon the M1911 itself.
- Alongside the Heavy Assault Rifle, the pistol is one of the few weapons to have its High Tier version be an actual upgraded version of the low tier one, rather than a different weapon entirely.
- The The Turncoat from Save the World share the same model a Epic and Legendary Pistols.
