No, sidearms will be kinda OP after the buff. Try a sidearm and high rate of fire scout on a Nightstalker and see what it gets you. Kill streaks, lots of kill streaks Spec for max agility and armor and hip fire whole just out of shotgun range, and then scout for any longer range engagement. Hmm, maybe sidearm plus no land beyond...have to try that now Besides plan c, fusion rifles are the hardest to use
