FRONTLINES Roblox FRONTLINES Secondary Weapons

FRONTLINES issues three secondary weapons alongside melee and gadget expectations. Players obsessed with the weapons tier list often ignore sidearms until a Nightwing reload gets them killed. This page fixes that blind spot and links to primary weapons and skills loadouts.

Why secondaries exist

• Finish wounded enemies after a spray
• Cover the reload window in CQB
• Provide a quieter or faster draw option in some kits
• Rescue you when ammo economy fails mid-hill

Role types

Role	When it shines
Fast finisher	Close confirmations in Kill Confirmed
Accuracy sidearm	Mid-range chip while repositioning
Panic CQB	Factory corners after empty mag

Exact model names belong in your shop UI — unlock order follows Level Up and Credits.

Swap discipline

Practice the swap bind from Controls until it is reflex. A perfect AS VAL spray still dies to a player who swapped faster. Warm up sens with the sensitivity calculator so pistol tracking matches your rifle feel.

Credits priority

Buy secondaries after your main primary’s core attachments (Attachments). A golden pistol with a stock rifle is backwards. Use the credits calculator if you are deciding between a sidearm and a skill unlock.

Mode notes

• TDM: finishers matter constantly
• Domination/KOTH: swaps during stacks save rounds
• Long canyon maps: secondary is insurance, not the plan — bring AWM/The Fix skills from Maps and Modes

Melee and gadgets

Expect frag grenades and a knife as part of the broader kit fantasy. Do not waste grenades on empty rooms; use them to break held angles instead of ego-peeking.

The three secondaries explained

FRONTLINES issues three secondary weapons in the roster. Exact model names appear in your shop UI, but players generally categorize them as:

Secondary type	Role	When to equip
Fast finisher	High swap speed, close damage	Nightwing reload windows, KC tags
Balanced sidearm	Mid-range chip	Repositioning between lanes
Heavy pistol	Slower but punishing	Holding angles after primary empty

None replace a primary in open canyon fights — they save the two seconds where reloading would kill you.

Swap drills worth ten minutes

In a quiet lobby or between matches, practice: spray primary dry → swap → two shots on a wall → reload primary behind cover. Bind swap to a key or button you never miss — muscle memory matters more than pistol tier. Log sens with the sensitivity calculator so pistol tracking matches rifle feel; many players run slightly higher effective sens on sidearms.

Pairing secondaries with primaries

Nightwing and AS VAL users swap most often — CQB fights end in milliseconds and reloads lose trades. AWM players swap rarely but need a finisher when someone pushes your perch. M4 mains sit in the middle: sidearm saves mid-fight when you are caught reloading after a two-tap that did not kill. Match skills from skills loadouts — handling passives help the whole kit.

Credits and unlock order

Secondaries compete with skills and attachment nodes for the same Credits pool. Rule of thumb: fund your main primary’s horizontal control before any pistol upgrade. A stock sidearm in the hands of a disciplined swapper beats a golden pistol with a naked rifle. Plan purchases on the credits calculator and read Level Up and Credits for session structure.

Grenades and melee in the kit

FRONTLINES loadouts include frag grenades and melee alongside firearms. Use grenades to break held Domination points, not to clear empty rooms. Knife kills are highlight bait — prioritize gun trades first. Mode notes in Maps and Modes explain when utility beats raw aim.

Secondaries are small until they are everything. Train the swap.
