What is your suggestion?
A: Remove or tweak the current faction-wide perk that's granted when winning certain maps, which makes any and all members of the faction spawn with a random free pistol. Either make the random 'free' pistol not spawn if you already have a pistol equipped, or some other kind of measure to not have two pistols.

How would this benefit the server?
A: Currently, if you want to use pistols, having this perk enabled for your faction can be more of a hindrance than a benefit. The random 'bonus' pistol can mess with the weapon wheel and make swapping to the pistol you actually want to use a little cumbersome, especially because of the alphabetic inventory sorting (Sometimes you'll have to press 2 twice, sometimes once, to access the pistol you want to use). It's especially annoying because the 'bonus' pistol you get always starts unloaded, so if in the heat of the moment you accidentally swap to the 'bonus' pistol and not your 'equipped' pistol, you might as well be dead.

Very annoying when i go to necksnap someone and suddenly pull out a pistol smaller than my hand and do like 10 damage to their head.

Sorry to bump this but the thread highkey died.

I think disabling Random Pistol whenever you've already got a Pistol equipped should be the easiest solution.

honestly if we atleast could choose the free pistol we want to spawn in with it would be a decent perk, otherwise you never really use the perk as you preferably spawn in with your own if you even use one.

-1 for removing it, gives the lower level people a chance to play with the higher level pistols which is fun
+1 for not getting a bonus pistol if you already have one equipped

-1 for removing it as I use it, better than having to waste durability in inventory for pistols
+1 to tweak it
