The Sturm is a very effective, fun, and engaging weapon to play within PVP. And it has quite a few interesting perks to choose from. Sturm and Drang (sidearm) complement each other very well. Basically, Drang’s perk called Together Forever makes kills with this weapon reload Strum and fills bonus damage round into it. So if you have Strum you can simply get the Drang from the gunsmith as well.
