[YeezyGT's S16] [MW: Range] "I know a few people who main Lonesome. Sidearms have been slowly becoming more and more prevalent in PvP, likely due to the operating ranges being moved slightly out in-line with pellet Shotgun nerfs, Slug buffs, and SMGs being more widely used. Lonesome feels comfortable in a variety of ranges, with a pretty hefty Range stat, very nice TTK potential, and sporting Swashbuckler that allows for some pretty great punishes when getting rushed."
