Spectre Divide – Which Is The Best Pistol In The Game?

Pistols are key to building some economy in the game by winning your first round, and they are even more important when your team is running out of cash and you need a comeback. Picking the right pistol will make the difference, so get ready to learn which are the best pistols for you and your team.

4. M2 Carbon

The M2 Carbon is an all-round pistol that will get you a few kills in your first rounds, but it doesn’t excel in any aspect. Every other option does something better than it, so consider switching to a different one when you can. The M2 Carbon will get you out of trouble when you need it, but if you are low on cash and need something to replace a primary, consider any other pistol.

The M2 Carbon has the following attributes:

  • Run Speed: 5.04
  • Magazine: 12
  • Fire rate: 352 rpm
  • Reload time: 1.8 seconds
  • Hipfire Range: 13.0 m

3. Shiv

The Shiv has a better fire rate, damage profile, and hip fire range than the M2 Carbon. The pistol even has a faster run speed than the M2 Carbon.

The Shiv is a clear improvement over the M2 Carbon, and its attributes prove it:

  • Run Speed: 5.35
  • Magazine: 12
  • Fire rate: 405 rpm
  • Reload time: 1.7 seconds
  • Hipfire Range: 18.0 m

Pick up a Shiv anytime you can, as it will save your life when you run out of ammo and your enemy has an M2 Carbon in their hands.

2. M10 Brat

The M10 Brat is the only pistol SMG in the game, and in the right hands, it’s a menace against the enemy team. Its unmatched fire rate, movement speed, and recoil make it a good option to kill enemy players when you run out of ammo at close range.

Shooting an M10 Brat at medium and long ranges is a mistake. Its recoil can get difficult to control if you empty the magazine, so try to use it only in close-range situations. These are M10 Brat’s stats:

  • Run Speed: 5.04
  • Magazine: 12
  • Fire rate: 900 rpm
  • Reload time: 2.3 seconds
  • Hipfire Range: 15.0 m

1. Duster RX6

This is the best option for skilled players who are good at clicking heads at any range. Its small magazine and slow fire rate will deter many players, but its high damage at all ranges makes it a good option for players who cannot afford a primary or want to take up the challenge.

The Duster RX6 has a slow fire rate, so missing a shot can be deadly, but this pistol can be as effective as many primary weapons. These are Duster RX6’s stats:

  • Run Speed: 5.04
  • Magazine: 6
  • Fire rate: 150 rpm
  • Reload time: 2.3 seconds
  • Hipfire Range: 13.0 m
