Pistols and SMG
This combined weapon skill covers pistols and submachine guns; the guide notes low armor penetration and shield compatibility as defining features.
How it works
The guide says Pistols and SMG suffer from low armor penetration, can be used with shields, and can serve as a second weapon. It also says its example builds invest in Pistols and SMG skill and mentions abilities for pistol-focused builds. The excerpt provides no specific weapon statistics or skill formula.
