Minipistol damage upgrade problem / nitpick

[Spicia' Meata'balla']

I got the minipistol damage upgrade in reactor and it makes the gun fire twice.
I want to conserve ammunition and the possibility of wasting twice bullets to misses, and potentially one on each enemy is an affront to this.
A way to make it single shot again, but have the higher damage would be nice.


Does this game have modding support?

I'd say ditch the pistol for the skorpion once you find it, it uses the same ammo.
It does 2 less damage per bullet but it is an smg that is capable of singe shot tapping or holding for full auto.

Until then, I'd say just save the ammo and use energy weapons or the shotgun because the shotgun drops off heavily on the later levels.

You won't be using the mini pistol for very long. Its ammo type is actually really good, its just that the ttk on it is awful. It really is meant to just be babby's first ranged weapon.

Thankfully you are pretty close to finding the mini pistol's big brother, which can carry you all the way to the end of the game if you preserved ammo.

Please tell me you haven't been shooting the robots.

Yeah the minipistol is garbo, I hardly used it but the skorpion makes up for it.

In the original SS the minipistol basically carried me for an extremely long time, I was even using its teflon rounds to take out Security Bots.

To be perfectly frank, the 9mm pistol cartridge, if compared to real-life 9mm isn't particularly strong when it comes to stopping power. I mean, it can kill a person... tomorrow. But when you need to STOP something, you have to magdump it or score shots to the cranium, spine or heart or some major artery.

So I guess if there was something I'd like to see with the minipistol, it would be a fire-rate increase.

Scoprion will out do the pistol it has 2 less dmg but slightly higher penetration and much faster rate of fire.

Againts cameras and such you can always use low power energy mode.

Late game pistol just lack the dps againts enemies.

By lategame you'll get plenty of piercing ammo so the Scorpion ends up consistently good throughout pretty much all the game. I ended up taking it over the assault rifle in my kit.
