I recommend use of these Perk Pistols when pairing with a 1 arm weapon to handle normal Pistol needs (scout suppression while carrying, downed, etc). A Tanto user will benefit from pairing with the Gunslinger most, and a Knight user will benefit from pairing with either the Pyro or Singe most. The Double Freedom user could use any of them, but I would pick Gunslinger over the other two.
Martin Nguyen Yeah, a DLC of pistols without an actual side arm slot brings down the value of it. Bit disappointed. Would've been cooler if instead these were dual-wieldable primaries. Not much better but I'd happily die firing two of those plasma pistols.
I hope they take some sort of action. This has become less favorable of the community. It isn't terrible but there's definitely some things that deserve another look into.
Dig your Vids! I agree, I don't see it as terribly worth the purchase. I own it, personally, but honestly they should've made it a stratagem/made us able to change basic sidearm like primary weapon. injector/armor/strat priority/displacement surpass a sidearm in.. probably all cases..
A revolver doesn't have a "magazine", it has a cylinder. A magazine is one of the key differences the separates a handgun from a revolver. At least you didn't call it a clip.
your content is great, your editing is good, your tips are helpful. but man.. bump up your vocabulary lol all your videos are congested with "DO know" "THEREFORE" you use therefore every 10 seconds haha I'm probably the only one with this complaint I dunno, but its something to keep in mind I yknow. again, good job with everything else B)
+basura Lol. Nah dude. You never heard of the Deathstalker Drinking game? I'm joking of course. Thanks for the feedback though. It's a problem I'm in the process of correcting. I have a very bad memory so when I do the commentary unscripted I re-remember things at the last moment and for fear of having to stop the recording and then resume or post edit I squeeze it in. On top of that, my brain hates me. Seems to frequently go blank whenever I'm recording. It's less of a vocabulary issue and more of certain phrases that'll pop in my head first. If you listen closely just about every video has it's own words or phrase that I couldn't help but say a couple dozen times. But DO KNOW, I'll be working on breaking this bad habit ;)
+DeathStalker Synchro it's not a huge issue at all! it was just something I noticed and could be a possible thing that would. deter some new viewers. keep doin you lol
Of the three I enjoy the magnum most,just come back to this game after a long break(months) I play medic / support so your videos are helping work out what to buy. You gonna cover the vehicles?
DeathStalker Synchro Cheers man. Yeah really enjoying it again I'm level 19 and the new enemies and maps were kicking my ass last night when I got on but I'm getting back into the groove. Look forward to the vehicle video ! Oh and who doesn't love the 'pool? Chimichangas!
i think the singe is actually ok given what its capable of. if you pair it with a single handed weapon such as the knight or double freedom or tanto you can then pull out the singe when you need crowed controll then switch back to your main weapon. and if you go down you automatically switch to your primary weapon so it wont get in the way with killing you at close range
I have the pack and never use these pistols. A cardio boost or stimpack perk are much more valuable mo matter what lvl of planet you play. Also, I find that the regular peacemaker sidearm is equally as good as any 3 of these extra sidearms, so it's basically a wasted perk if you bring a different sidearm. One other thing, these 3 pistols aren't ever good for swamp or snow planets as boots are most likely the best perk choice. Overall, I would say save your money and maybe get the vehicles pack or a reinforcements pack instead, these packs are great and very useful. I would probbly still get the pistols pack though cuz I like to try out everything. XD
I just bought the Vehicle Pack and I must say that I really REALLY hate the controls for all of them especially the Bastion...don't know why they feel the need to make everything about this game hard as hell.Plus I feel that since I paid for this pack I should've had the option to tweak the controls for them..they don't even give us that option 😡..though I can tolerate the Hammer Motorcycle a bit..seeing that I fully upgraded all three vehicles I should've got at least 2 drop uses out of them instead of 1.😣
gamegoblin1 Yeah, they are a bit to get used to. Though, don't hate the Bastion just yet. It's the anti-cyborg stratagem we've all been asking for. Something to finally counter the IFVs.
***** Lmao! Yeah, moved out of my parents place finally. Searching for a apartment/flat took a damned lot of my time away. But finally secured an awesome place and finally getting everything set up. I'll have to revise my schedule but things are about to start improving...well after I send in and get my PS4 back for repairs :( P.S. Adding all your videos to my watch later. Seems you've been busy as well. Expect to hear from me soon.
Wish I could move out soon, I'm only 16 xD. Anyway that sounds awesome bro. Don't feel obliged to watch my content by the way. I hate it when people feel they have to :P
Oh, I see. So you think you can tell me what I can and can't watch on UA-cam. Well I'm going to watch your videos and I'm going to Like the ones I like and share the ones that are awesome. Don't you dare think you can stop me.
I would buy it again, but it's the progress, man. I loved the game and want to support them, but when something like this happens where all the progress and money is thrown down the drain, there is no point in getting them again. Luckily, my friends are healing me out by getting me Plus, and a few games. I also managed to get Evolve. But other than that, nope. I'm not spending that much time on it again. If you want, you can add me on my new account. SUR3AL1SM
I can understand that. Hell I've stopped playing some games simply because I lost a couple hours of progress. Losing a Helldivers account is no joke. Takes a serious investment. And you're not obligated to watch these videos. I wouldn't hold it against. In fact, I don't want you to torture yourself with them. But I sent you the request on PSN maybe we can grab a game sometime on something else.
Pfft I love watching your vids! And you made my day better! Anyways, I have friends helping me out and stuff, Via Membership, games (GTA V, BO3, and Star Wars:BattleFront) cause I helped them out when they first got their consoles and stuff.
I feel there's a critical strength in the plas-3 'singe' that was not mentioned in your video. like you mentioned most circumstances you will be using the pistol is when you're in close quarters, but most importantly this weapon is often used when prone from injury. when you're prone, you are effectively immune to the splash damage of the weapon and you can use the AOE power and rapid fire rate to clear a small swarm off of you, potentially allowing you to get yourself back up on your feet. Also in regards to the gunslinger vs bugs, though it is true that you are often swarmed, it also has a reasonably high rate of fire as well, allowing you to kill 3 armored green bugs in one burst at a time (note that on lvl12 helldives, they spawn in groups of 6 only AFTER sounding an alarm also often no more than 2 groups at a time). if you run away to kite them, they chase you and funnel into a dense group. once they bunch up like that its a matter of how fast you can fire and reload while moving as opposed to focusing on landing individual shots. I agree that ammo is a serious concern with this weapon but with proper tactics its not a bad choice in any regard. My choice of weapon loadout for soloing level 12 helldives consists of a rumbler, breaker, and gunslinger. If you manage your ammo and keep it supplied all game, its manageable. and a powerful compliment for spread weapons like the breaker which lack AP against the tougher infantry. as for your review of the FLAM-24 Pyro, I have to agree, as a cost of a perk and even at the cost of an upgraded standard pistol, it is NOT worth a slot in your inventory. Insufficient ability to make a change in the outcome of success, and its role is better replaced by other weapons.

great informative and professional video as always DeathStalker Synchro keep up the excellent work
+TOUGHNERDTOYS Thanks and will do :)
Until they make a secondary slot its DEFINITELY, not worth it.
Martin Nguyen Yeah, a DLC of pistols without an actual side arm slot brings down the value of it. Bit disappointed.
Would've been cooler if instead these were dual-wieldable primaries. Not much better but I'd happily die firing two of those plasma pistols.
DeathStalker Synchro I was literally thinking of that and wanted to send the idea to Arrowhead
I hope they take some sort of action. This has become less favorable of the community. It isn't terrible but there's definitely some things that deserve another look into.
1 year later, still shit
Theyre great for a rank 1 Helldiver. Every person i introduce to the game goes for the gunslinger like it owes them money
The Nuke at the first encounter is just an epic timing there :D cool vid thanks for the info
+xXE4GLEyEXx Lol. Thanks, and no problem. Just glad I can help.
Dig your Vids! I agree, I don't see it as terribly worth the purchase. I own it, personally, but honestly they should've made it a stratagem/made us able to change basic sidearm like primary weapon.
injector/armor/strat priority/displacement surpass a sidearm in.. probably all cases..
+Alex Deremo (xXHierophantXx) I absolutely agree
not in fun tho
A revolver doesn't have a "magazine", it has a cylinder. A magazine is one of the key differences the separates a handgun from a revolver. At least you didn't call it a clip.
+Kusagari Blues Oh. Good information to know. Thanks and trust me I'll slip and say clip the next time. Lol.
+Kusagari Blues correct, but pedantic.
I would really recommend the revolver
Do you get all DLCs for free in hell divers super earth?
Firing plasma requires firing of a super heated gas. No just a battery pack like a laser does.
your content is great, your editing is good, your tips are helpful. but man.. bump up your vocabulary lol all your videos are congested with "DO know" "THEREFORE" you use therefore every 10 seconds haha I'm probably the only one with this complaint I dunno, but its something to keep in mind I yknow. again, good job with everything else B)

Ps3
deathstalker can u show us tips for noobs that are high level ?
Are you gonna have a enchrenched pack review DeathStalker Synchro
Idk why I should really choose a pistol over other perks
I just bought the Vehicle Pack and I must say that I really REALLY hate the controls for all of them especially the Bastion...don't know why they feel the need to make everything about this game hard as hell.Plus I feel that since I paid for this pack I should've had the option to tweak the controls for them..they don't even give us that option 😡..though I can tolerate the Hammer Motorcycle a bit..seeing that I fully upgraded all three vehicles I should've got at least 2 drop uses out of them instead of 1.😣

Cool video bro.
Tymiano B Thanks dude
What if you're using the rail gun and don't want to waste the ammo killing a scout before it sounds the alarm?
hold triangle, pull out normal pistol. this dlc pack is just for fun. but its not with the perk
Good review. Do these pistols have any upgrades to them ? Thanks!
Sadly no. Only weapons and Stratagems get upgrades. The pistols in this pack are perks which aren't upgradeable.
YAY new video!
GArry DIxon YAY! New comment from Garry! :)
No worries *****. Your "Yays" are enough for me
Oh shit, you're back lol
***** Lmao! Yeah, moved out of my parents place finally. Searching for a apartment/flat took a damned lot of my time away. But finally secured an awesome place and finally getting everything set up.

Damn, you knew my plan all along. Oh well it was worth the try ;)
I would get this but my acc is permanently banned and I lost all my stuff(games, DLC, and progress)
8-B1T Walkthrough Oh man. Dude, that's terrible. Is there really no chance of recovery?
I would buy it again, but it's the progress, man. I loved the game and want to support them, but when something like this happens where all the progress and money is thrown down the drain, there is no point in getting them again.
