Like most sidearms, the R-45 Autopistol is best utilized purely as a backup when your primary weapon is out of ammo—switching to your sidearm is always faster than reloading your primary. Due to its high rate of fire, it’s easy to drop nearby threats with a quick burst, particularly if they’re already injured or damaged. The weapon serves as a good complement to slow-firing, low-magazine-capacity weapons like the Kraber-AP Sniper.
Don’t try to hunt Pilots with this weapon unless you have the jump on your prey. While the RE-45 boasts a high rate of fire, it trails far behind in all other categories, putting you at a serious disadvantage while engaging enemy Pilots. That being said, the RE-45 is more than capable of finishing off an injured Pilot at close range. In this sense, the RE-45 is great for ending fights—just don’t start one with it.
While the RE-45 isn’t the most effective weapon against minions, taking the fight to close range against a squad of Grunts is undeniably fun. At close range the RE-45 can tear through Grunts at a rapid pace. However, exercise caution when engaging Spectres—they take a considerable amount of damage before dropping, exposing you to potentially deadly return fire.
