Halo Campaign Evolved Pistol Guide
Treat the pistol as a precision tool for shield follow-up, distance control, and conserving rarer power weapons.

For settings or platform checks, run the same scene twice. The first pass establishes ammo; the second pass tests campaign fights; only a stable result should affect pistol.
