Secondary weapons questions players ask

Why carry a secondary weapon?

It covers what your primary cannot do. A slow primary wants a fast sidearm, and a single-target primary wants one that clears crowds.

Do secondary weapons scale into late game?

Yes. Several sidearms are built for damage output rather than backup, and some are used as primary damage sources.

Are these base values?

Yes. Mods and arcanes are not included, so compare the weapon, not the build.
