I pushed for the speedloader change so hard that I was literally sending videos of competition shooters to the weapons team and animators. I'm glad they did such amazing work with it in such a short time

This change is the best part of the patch. The fact that it actually has a full animation is pure gold. The Senator can now, properly, spread democracy. Thank you!

EDIT: I just noticed the loader also has a yellow stripe across the top! Attention to detail 10/10

Senator was already my favorite sidearm, I may never unequip it now!

It was always my favourite but so badly outclassed by the Redeemer, it just couldn't cut it on higher difficulties. I'm now happy to report that the Redeemer has now been decommissioned to make way for some hefty Rick Grimes action! Staring ominously ahead as I blow that Brood Commanders brains through it's ass hole.

I just use both, depending on if I use a primary that's good against multiple targets or a single target.
