You will have less rounds before you need to reload, but one bullet can often take out a single infected. In emergencies, the handgun can save your life (when incapacitated) but you won't need to substitute it for a melee weapon to take advantage of this.Ī much more powerful and accurate version of the pistol, this weapon is still rendered almost useless by the melee weapons. We cannot recommend the pistol, dual-wielded or otherwise, in any situation a melee weapon is always preferred.
You can dual-wield the pistol, which extends its total clip size to 30. When you are incapacitated, you'll always have your trusty pistol. The pistol is your default weapon which you will always have on you - but if you pick up a melee weapon you won't have access to it unless you get incapacitated.
