The best loud/stealth pistol?

[Peter]

What pistol is the best for loud and stealth? Bronco, bernetti, deagle, Stryk? Or another pistol? (without dlc)

[PSYCHEDELIC HUBCAP]

I like crosskill for both.

[Peanits]

Deagle is probably the best (on Overkill at least). One shot, one kill, one or more ammo returned, laser accuracy. It can kill 16 people with one mag. The potential is crazy. If you're good at aiming, I can't see it being beat.

As for stealth, can't really say. If you had it, the Gruber because of concealment. Not sure what the highest concealment is for a non-DLC pistol. But none of the stats really matter, since you'll ideally shoot before you're detected, which means it'll one hit no matter what.

Thanks but sadly, gruber is in DLC :/

Without DLC? Deagle or Bernetti. Deagle as good damage but low ammo gun, Bernetti as high ammo but low damage gun. Really though look at the Loco or Judge for a stealth gun that can be used if it goes loud. Unless you are running Gunslinger that is.

Without any DLC the Bernetti and the Chimano 88 are the two best pistols for stealth, since they both have 30 base concealment.

Gruber is the best pistol for loud. More than 40 damage, stupidly high ammo count, perfect accuracy, and perfect stability. It has no equal, really.

However, it cannot hit 40 damage without sacrificing a bit of concealment, so people using Fugitive with Akimbo Bernettis/Chimano Customs might want to take the Signature .40 or LEO instead, so they don't miss out on 1% dodge and 3% crit.

All of that is assuming you have Gunslinger aced. Without gunslinger aced, you might want to take the Deagle instead (despite the low ammo count and low pickup).

For stealth, anything is fine, as everything dies in 1 hit anyway. Silenced Deagle might be preferable in Shadow Raid due to the high HP the Murkies have.

If you run the Interceptors as your akimbo you can still hit 4 Detection Risk with a Gruber secondary. You lose some ammo compared to the Bernettis but you also get 18 Accuracy which is great for taking out snipers when you don't have time to switch to your secondary.

That is the trade off, the Crosskill is the middle ground gun but it feels like it gives up too much in either category to be useful. But give it a shot, it may work for you.

The Interceptor 45 is free, and it reaches downright perfect stats. 41 damage, 18 accuracy, 37 stability, and plenty of ammo. It seems to be equal to the Gruber (slightly lower ammo for a bigger mag). Not sure how I missed this beauty. It needs Gunslinger Ace, though.

A lot of people missed that own DLC because of the Gruber. If I remember correctly the Interceptor was added to the game like a week or two before the Armored Transport DLC.

Best pistol is the loco.

Oh its a shotgun. Still the best.

Deagle. for stealth it 1-shots alerted guards and can deal with murkies easily. for loud, its relatively high concealment works with dodge and can be modded for really good dmg for armor. It can use marksman sights and rifle sights, very accurate. only downside it its ammo pool which isn't a downside for stealth.

Anyone who wants to seriously use pistols should get Gunslinger Ace, anyway.

If you really, really don't want to invest in Gunslinger Ace, then the only viable option is the Deagle.

Im mastermind and i need only 2 points more for unlocking the Gunslinger.

Interceptor 45 is good all around pistol its the most balanced non dlc pistol ever made..

[Brovah]

I like using the Stryk as both, stealth version with no stock, mag, or sight. Loud version with the stock, mag, and sight for all that extra stability.
