Sidearms — Far Cry 5 eGuide | Prima Games eGuides

Sidearms are small, one-handed firearms that are extremely versatile and are most effective at short to medium range. One of the weapon slots on the Weapon Wheel is dedicated to a sidearm, so you should always have at least one equipped during your travels.There are four types of sidearms: pistols, SMGs, grenade launchers, and shotguns.

If you enjoy using pistols, Close Combat Mastery is a great perk for faster reload and decreased weapon sway while aiming. The Weapons Pro perk gives you the same benefits for SMGs and shotguns.Also, the Close Combat Gear Bag perk increases the maximum amount of pistol ammo you can carry, while the Tactical Ammo Bag perk does the same for shotguns and SMGs.
