I feel as though even though I’ve pushed very far into the net runner perk tree, my power SMG can still outpace my d5 sidewinder of the same class at any range. the targeting is mediocre at best, with like a 50% chance of the bullet actually hitting, where as the SMG has such a tight spread that its useful even at 20m ranges. I just feel like smart just sent great. what doyall think?

    the legendary / iconic ones are pretty neat. There’s a great pistol you can swipe from the Arasaka estate if you sneak in there. With netrunning though they’re always kind of a backup for me. My last build was almost entirely dedicated to melting brains with contagion and system shutdown (or whatever it’s called). Stragglers got the bullets from around the corner.

      idk never really liked the smart pistols, just SMG/AR. I prefer a silenced pistol if I wanna be sneaky, sniper to stay away, SMG once I fuck up and make some noise. did u have just the smart pistol or other smart weapons too?

        pistol mostly, the gun you get from completing that 6th street mission where they’re all partying in the shadow of the dam is a great smart smg (i think) and is pretty great. but like i said, I was doing a melt-gonk-brains playthrough with guns as a backup.
