Recently, I've decided to shelve my Twisted Snarble Barb/Alchemer duo. Although I really do like the 'Barb, it seemed like I never actually got to use it due to the ridiculous amount of constructs in the game. I also very intensely dislike the Alchemers, which didn't help the situation at all.

Anyway, I've found that I absolutely love using the Cutter and decided that I'd like to eventually upgrade it to the Dread Venom Striker, but that still leaves my secondary slot open. I'd like some opinions on which gun would complement my sword and/or which guns you find fun to use. Alternatively, I was wondering if using a bomb for a secondary weapon is a good idea or not, and if so, which would be a good one to use?

Pulsar Line

The Pulsar is one of my favorite guns in the game. I upgraded into the Kilowatt line and have been immensely satisfied. It's really awesome at kiting because of the knockback, and the extra shock status effect is sweet!
The only drawback is that the bullets are kinda slow, but you shouldn't ever be shooting at something that dodges really fast with it anyway (eg gremlins/wolvers, both resist elemental)
So yeah, the Kilowatt Pulsar line is amazing as a elemental sidearm

DVS??? Why?

I'm sorry to all those cutter fans, but the only useful situation DVS can be used is in Jelly Palace. Keep your Twisted Snarbie, and aim for Brandish lines or Sealed swords.

Polaris is an awesome choice though. In both soloing and PvP, unlike the Biohazard, which is only good in PvE.
Shivermist Buster is also a good choice for a secondary to a heavy/med sword. Freeze those suckers up and troika them!
