Pretty Boy's Pocket Pistol - is this direct upgrade to stock pistol ?

[Harry Pioter]

My question is: Is PBPP the best choice for secondary weapon for Scout ?
After Jungle Inferno weapon balance changes, this weapon is extremly better than stock pistol.

Stats:
+15% firing speed
Up to +7 hp per hit
-25% clip size (9 shots)

The only one downside is that this weapon have 9 max ammo in magazine instead 12, but is this noticeable if this weapon shots 15% faster ?

Other weapon in game that is direct upgrade to stock is 3rd degree, but it's pretty situational and is rerely used.

So what are your thoughts ?
Is this new best secondary for scout ?

I think it is, and it deserves some kind of a nerf tbh

Depends on the situation.

I find the stock pistol better at finishing of my enemy(more shots) & the pocket pistol better as a no medic/healthpack around type of gun.

Short answer is yes. They need to nerf either damage, reload speed, or both.

if you use it with the bfb you can regen all your health (assuming that you can hit every shot) and not be hit when you start running with the max speed

Yeah, seems like damage nerf is the best option

Yeah stock have more shots, but PBPP shots faster, and you also gain health.

They should nerf it slightly maybe make it have a longer switch speed I don't know.

True.

If you can land the shots it deals a lot of damage out really really quickly. The health on hit makes it easy to heckle heavies to death. It's pretty efficent at knocking out sentries as well..

I feel it definitely needs to be toned down at least a bit... Was thinking slower reload and maybe health on hit is effected by distance from the target perhaps.

I'm waiting for some more feedback though from higher end players though to see if this still holds true with them. You know, the people that generally matter when it comes to balancing for the best level of feedback typically.

Advantage of stock more shots

Advantage of pbpp - free health and faster firing speed

Advantage of the winger - jump height and a little extra damage per shot

[LeoKilo]

maybe health on hit scales with distance?

Good idea, or scales with player health

[Ross the shucklenite]

-20% damage
And
Takes 40% longer to switch ?

I think dmg nerf is correct here. This weapon should be used not for killing but for healing.
