I need a good secondary weapon to complete the 'Quake' load out

[Quadsword]

ARC-12 Blitzer = Lightning gun (err, kind of. The actual lightning gun fires continuously)
Railgun = Hopefully I don't need to explain this one
Jump pack = Closest analog to rocket jumping (Thanks for the buff, guys. It's super fun to use now)
Light armor so you can be fast

I guess maybe the new plasma pistol could work since it vaguely functions like the blaster from Quake 4?

Can’t go wrong with the grenade pistol, can quickly kill small swarms, can destroy devastates ect to one good shot, or two area of affect shots, and great for closin bug holes

[Get Donked On]

probably gl pistol yes. gonna assume this is for bugs? cuz light armor is pain on clankers. especially with a close range primary

Why not the shotgun pistol?
Any Quake theme should have a shotgun imo

Seconding this suggestion, handy for taking out hunters/shriekers and reasonably effective against melee devastators. A good panic-fire option with reasonable fire power, single-round reload, and the ability to unload the lot at once if need be.

Why use that when already gonna use the blitzer thats the best close range gun ? Lololol
Second granade pistol too

Does the blitzer ever require reloading?

Nope , infinite ammo

Then I second the grenade pistol. Having a secondary that doubles as nest/fab disposal when you've got a broad-purpose primary is always helpful.

It sounds like this is a bug build. If so, you'll want something that can close bug holes. You either need a sidearm that can do it, or your throwables need to do it.

If you go with gas or stun grenades, then go with the grenade pistol.

If you go with thermites, impact or other throwable that explodes, then look at the Senator or Redeemer.
