Oh, my mistake

the lone dual takes 5 hits to kill unlike the aliens 8 hits (basic dmg) and the lone duals actually pretty fast, and has a slow down proc. But the main thing is against bases, lone dual shreds much faster than the alien. But itd still be up to the squad on what they want, they could choose the starter knife if they want lol.

Also, im still not forgetting the fact that the reasons the hideout prize was removed and how the change occured was done very poorly
