Secondary Weapons: Pistols & SMGs

Unlock the full potential of secondary weapons in Sniper Elite: Resistance. Learn about pistols and SMGs, their uses, and how to dominate with them.

Hey there! So, you're diving into Sniper Elite: Resistance and wondering about those smaller firearms? Pistols and SMGs might not be your main squeeze, but they're super important for close-quarters combat and when your sniper rifle just isn't cutting it. Let's break down what you need to know to make them work for you.

Think of your pistol as your reliable backup. It's great for taking out enemies quietly when they get too close, or for finishing off a target you might have just missed with your main rifle. SMGs, on the other hand, are all about laying down suppressing fire or dealing with multiple enemies in tight spaces. They're loud, but effective when you need to clear a room fast.

While this section doesn't go into specific mission details or stats for each weapon (that's covered in other parts of the guide!), understanding their general role is key. You'll want to make sure you're equipped with the right secondary for the job, whether you're sneaking through tight corridors or defending a position. Don't underestimate them – a well-placed shot from a pistol or a burst from an SMG can save your life!
