Strategy Guide

• The Combat Pistol's moderate recoil can be countered by adjusting your aim controls downward while firing.
  • Controller players can do this by pulling down on the aim stick.
  • Keyboard and mouse players can do this by dragging their mouse downward.

• The Combat Pistol functions well as a substitute for an SMG due to its high fire rate and tight accuracy.
• The Combat Pistol can substitute for an assault rifle if needed, although the Combat Pistol is not a great option for long-range encounters.
• At long ranges, tap-firing with the Combat Pistol is best to constantly reset its first-shot accuracy.
• Do not challenge sniper rifles, marksman rifles, or scoped assault rifles at long ranges with a Combat Pistol. Instead, get to a closer range to make effective use of this weapon's high DPS.
• Due to the Combat Pistol's limited capacity, it benefits heavily from augments such as Pistol Amp, Pistol Recycle, or Light Fingers.
• Always aim for headshots with the Combat Pistol, as high rarity Combat Pistols can eliminate a full-health opponent in only four shots to the head (five in Zero Build).
• The Combat Pistol's low capacity makes it ineffective against structures. Instead, it's best to carry a different weapon to help take out an opponent's cover.
