About the Pistols.

[Silverquick]

I notice there were some secondary weapons in the gameplay videos. Some were melee weapons.

Which was an interesting concept in a game like this. Mostly it appears you're looking at rifles, shotguns, and SMGs. Which will be the primary arms. I don't think a pistol is going to do as much good against a Horde like that.

But given how the gameplay looks including chances to sneak up on sleeping "sleepers".... there is something to make and keep a pistol useful in this kind of game.

Much like the Melee weapons which can be used to take out the sleepers before they're aware without making too much noise....

Perhaps the Pistols should be suppressed pistols. Aka with a silencer or suppressor on them.

They would stay useful and have a niche in a game like this.

[Oscillations]

I agree.

There won't be silenced weapon from what I read from Simon. But I could have misread that.

As for handgun (revolver/pistol) there might be build like in pd2 that allow you too specialised and be good using 1/2 handgun. Again nothing sure.

Yeah, he also confirmed it on discord. There won't be suppressors in this game, and there also won't be skill trees like in Payday. IIRC there will be some sort of skills/perks, but there's no info about that yet.

Yup that's where I read it too from the amba discord. But I only follow it from time to time.
