Secondary weapons serve as crucial backups or specialized tools in Vanguard. Pistols (Top Break, Ratt) are reliable sidearms for when your primary runs dry or for quick finishing blows. They can be surprisingly effective with the right attachments. Launchers (Panzerschreck, Bazooka) are essential for taking down enemy Killstreaks like UAVs, Counter-UAVs, and Attack Dogs, as well as for clearing objectives or damaging groups of enemies. Carrying a launcher is a team-oriented choice that can significantly impact the flow of a match. Melee weapons (Combat Knife) offer unparalleled mobility and silent takedowns, making them a niche but deadly option for aggressive, stealth-focused players. Consider your secondary weapon's role carefully within your overall loadout strategy.
