Sidearms in Destiny 2 are a type of Handgun that can be equipped in a player’s Kinetic or Energy weapon slot. They are usually fast-firing and have a relatively small magazine size and can have trouble with accuracy at long range. They are best used in close-quarters combat, where players need to quickly take out enemies at close range. Sidearms can be found as rare, legendary, and exotic items, with the exotic variants being particularly powerful and featuring unique abilities.
Sidearms are quite frequently used for the daily weapon bounties from Banshee-44. Whether you decide to make use of sidearms as part of your character build, you should always keep a sidearm you enjoy using in your stash or inventory for completing these bounties.
