The Desert Eagle will always be in since its a signature weapon for KF.

No. Its in the game since the mod as "Handcannon". Removing it, its like to remove the Bullpup. Its fan favorite weapon - it will always be there.

Dual pistols xD Who uses that? Hahah

Wasn't really a fan of dual pistols in KF1. The inability to aim down the sights made it awkward to use with precision.

Hopefully the gunslinger offers some unique advantages to justify using only pistols. Because truthfully that weapon selection doesn't sound exciting to me given the alternatives...even with the ability to dual wield.

- Pistols as off-perk secondarys are totally fine
- Pistols fit in the SS Category, because they are single shot / high damage weapons
- Dual-Pistols don

I got an idea, let's make a semi-automatic pistol that pierces one target, recoils almost non-existant and hits harder than any assault or battle rifle and marksman rifle in game as its base damage.
So dual wielding them will give a comparable magazine size to an Assault Rifle, also piercing power on top of lighter weight.

Oh, waaaaaaait a minute... I got dis...

funny that you talk about pubs as that is what i am when rambo with m14 or 3 dual pistols and not relying on teammates.
with teamwork xbow or m99 are great being able to snipe fps, scs and high priority zeds from a distance in chaotic situation while friends don't have to worry about them and can focus on clearing junk.

you get used to centre of your screen or you can always use alternate methods *cough*blutack*cough*

I cant take you seriously for using xbow, cheers for good try though.

I understand the sentiment. But 'using the xbow' and ruining a game with xbow aren't one in the same. I remember carrying an xbow for emergencies and not wasting everything as soon as it spawned.
