Thread: Best Pistol for PvP

A friend and I did a couple of test with the laucher pistol, republic blaster, dx2 and the Tangle Pistol. Out of the four the best one for damage vs composite armor was the Tangle because of the stun damage. I have never actually heard of anyone saying Tangle was the best gun for PvP. I was wondering why exactly, perhaps I missed something. Only thing I noticed was the superior accuracy of the Dx2 compared to the Tangle. If any of you have some input on this I would appreciate it.

Since so many people run around in composite, a lot of it with high kinetic layers, stun damage is the only likely hole. Just like fencers like their stun baton, we like our tangle. It's not a high damage weapon, but a properly made one with a good slice will work to your advantage. It will go through that composite like butter.


You'd have to weigh the use of a higher damage AP1 pistol vs. the tangle depending on the target. I'd start with a sliced tangle with a solid powerup, and watch the panic that sets in.

I cant log in right now, but if I recall it's about 132 max damage at 2.4 with a speed slice. With a powerup it's decent, but I intend to look for a better specimen.


I'm sure better tangles are out there. I'd like to hear about the best ones others have, enhanced or not, so I know what to shoot for when I go shopping.


Then, there is the Genosian Stun pistol that will be out in a couple weeks. They will probably be pricey, but feared.
