Scotfield is trash. Slowest bullet speed and worst reliad speed if not using the swift. If you are talking fire rate the nagant officer is the cheaper alternative that is superior in nearly everyway.

I'm talking about pax and schofield, but I don't think the nagant officer is as accurate as spitfire, coming back, pax is not an option even for shotgunners (since they use a secondary for long ranges)... and for close range combat at bullet speed doesn't count for much.pax was already an obscured revolver now even more so by schofield

It's totally rare to see someone using pax in matches

Springfield/pax dumdum combo is the only time im playing pax atm.
But still a good Revolver, the problem with pax is just that it got no fmj rounds.

Nagant Officer is double-action. The only thing to like about Scottfield is break-action, since it's the only revolver that has it atm. Otherwise based on written stats it loses to Pax in every way, dunno how it really performs. I'd only take middle revolver to have more ammo for my primary. Otherwise - i'd take just about anything as a secondary, but it usually doesn't end up being medium revolver

Because a lot of people go for a certainty of an Uppercut

The Pax surely needs some love to see action again, not going to put my "Stubby" Spitfire away though. Best Revolver in the game.

The Pax was great for dual wielding but now its kinda obsolete
If you play Rifle main you usually want a fast secondary like the nagant or spitfire
If you play Shotgun youre better off with a uppercut

The scotfields dmg and rate of fire are lower but the special versions can make up for that i guess. Base Scotfield sucks tho

Both been replaced by uppercut, so why bother

Pax is my favourite pistol and i think it is fine the way it is.

They have all been overshadowed by the uppercut for a while now, it's hands down the best pistol in the game. The only reason you wouldn't take it is if you are struggling for money, in which case you take the conversion with FMJ. Schofield and Pax are essentially for if you want variety.

A lot of guns in Hunt right now are basically worse versions of what already exists, and only get chosen because people like them regardless of them being objectively worse.

the swift for duals with the peark is a beast for the reload time, the spitfire is not bad but have a lot of recoil so you often end up hitting the arms instead of torso if you use it at ful speed, plus the fmj option is very useful if you couple the gun with rifle like a vetterly

What's the point of Pax when you can play Uppercut which can oneshot once downed players to the chest? No other pistol can do that.

Every pistol have ammo synergies with different rifles. Normal ammo or special ammo types.
If you are a shotgun player with regular ammo and you looking for the biggest amount of damage, of course you will pick the uppercut as side weapon, why not?! But you could play flecette and pax dumdum for example as well and be a pain in the ass for the enemies...
i like to play with ammo synergies, for example, vetterli/spitfire fmj or winfield/conversion fmj. I had good matches with springfield/pax dumdum as well...
But at the end all depends on the players playstyle - there's no right or wrong / good or bad... In my opinion.
You can be a good player with every kind of combination of weapons, you just have to know how to use them... That's the trick.

all my 4+ kill matches so far have been due to uppercut

i still use silenced nagant sometimes though for AI if i have a loud main weapon
Yeah its kinda bonkers that Bornheim is more expensive than uppercut. :D
