How to use the Burletta Pistol in combat

Ideal as a lightweight sidearm to complement a primary weapon, especially for quick, accurate shots.
Its built-in suppressor and good accuracy make it useful for stealthy playstyles and PvE farming runs.
Best used against lightly armored ARC enemies targeting weak points rather than in heavy combat.
Its single-shot firing mode means the pistol cannot be spammed rapidly, requiring careful trigger control.
Suitable for fast swaps and close-range encounters where mobility is prioritized over raw firepower.
Not recommended as the main weapon for PvP due to low damage and awkward handling compared to other pistols.
