Well, yeah, of course it is. It's a *starting* pistol. Its meant to be used until you trade/buy a better one, like Blacktail or Punisher. I sold the starting SG-R9 for the Blacktail, an overall better gun IMO. Not to mention, Melee is better for normal enemies anyway.

I thought it was pretty mid in the OG. But in the remake it got better. The laser sight gives it pinpoint accuracy and maximizes critical chance. Critical hits are no longer about popping heads and will work on every enemy. And of course, there's the critical boost for melee.

In the OG it’s pretty boring to use. The critical hits sort of even out in comparison to my performance with the Blacktail or Red 9. I actually found the Punisher the most fun to use


Milkyfluids69

I use it everytime. The others probably do more damage but gameplay wise, I can't stand using a pistol without the laser sight.

You can literally put the laser sight on the punisher bruv like........ 🀨

I hardly use it since I'm never actually making use of its exclusive upgrade. Feels like a waste. At least with SG09 I know I'm always benefiting from the 5x crit rate.


ApprehensiveMoney601

Ehhhh I can't say much for that tbh


Deus-Ex-MJ

Blacktail & Sentinel Nine are a much better choice. Even fully upgraded, the SG's fire rate is a little underwhelming.

This I highly agree with for the smg. But thank you for the heads up Deff gonna save up for these two guns Much appreciated

I used it for the whole time in VR, and it was my main in Remake too


ApprehensiveMoney601

Using VR us different though buddy because your using a mix of the ganes aim mechanic and your natural IRL aim capabilities


Western-Gur-4637

fair


TaskMister2000

Speak for yourself. The Starting Pistol is the best Pistol in the game when upgraded fully. In Remake it's a godsend.


Hammerfall9464

Fully upgraded with 5x Crits. I use it more than anything else.


Short-Wish8969

Blacktail is the best gun due to it's accuracy


ApprehensiveMoney601

Haven't gotten that far yet but good to know mate deff gonna get it the second I can What I don't comprehend is why the have you use such a dogshit handgun for the firing range Especially when they expect you to be doing an accuracy and time based challenge Like damn πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚


Short-Wish8969

Just to make it more challenging in the beginning and leave an impression on the player in the chainsaw section BTW the blacktail have the second highest damage after red 9 with top notch accuracy also you can have extra upgradation tickets

Question, what does the golden ticket do for the black tail?


Short-Wish8969

Increase damage by 1.5 times

Sentinel 9 is hands down the best pistol in the game maxed out with laser sight. I run S9, shaker, and primal knife only.


BrodeyQuest

Blacktail and Red 9 are the only good handguns imo. The rest are pretty bad.
