I know I'm a little late on this and with the upcoming weapon patch i feel like siderarms should be addressed. Sidearms are supposed to be special weapons that should be used between the range of a fusion rifle and a shotgun, but the accuracy is only good when your at shotgun range. So I have thought of some ways to make sidearms a more viable choice in Crucible and PvE.
Sidearms as a whole: Increase initial range and accuracy by 15%-20%
Dreg's Promise: Remove travel time or add tracking like in PvE but not as aggressive.
