Tips[]
General[]
- This is arguably the best "get-away-from-me" secondary pistol, as it allows you to pepper enemies who get too close when your primary weapon runs out of ammo.
- The first four shots on this weapon are fairly accurate despite the -25% accuracy penalty, which can come in handy when softening up targets and finishing them off. However, this can also be done more consistently with the stock Pistol and is just something to consider when engaging enemies.
- Spamming this weapon as a Flanker is generally not advised, as you will run out of ammo very quickly. However, because of Flanker's speed, the -25% accuracy penalty could be seen as an advantage. If you're shooting the Conventional while circling around your foes, stray bullets will have a greater chance at landing.
- The Conventional can be used as a pseudo-primary weapon for Mechanic as the massive secondary ammo pool allows him to use this as if it was a sub-machine gun, freeing up his primary slot for utility/conditional weapons such as the Avenger or the Rescue Ranger.
- It's best advised to use this weapon whilst an enemy is at critical health, as the faster firing speed will make quick work of opponents, but mind the damage penalty.
Vs. Bosses[]
- This pistol still doesn't mini-crit like the rest of the pistols, meaning that it is generally advised not to use it when the boss comes after you.
- This can be mitigated by surviving until 2 players on RED are alive, giving it a 100% crit rate and subsequently making it much better as a late-game, long-range, very spammable damage dealer.
