Best Attachments for Close to Mid-Range

The G57 is a fast-firing pistol with steady handling that is useful when your primary weapon runs out of ammo. For close-range combat, using the DD Holo with Close Combat/Extended ammo gives you the best stopping power up close. Adding in the Flashlight also gives you the advantage of temporarily obscuring the view of your enemies, giving you the initiative in the fight.

For mid-range, using the Fusion Holo sight gives you a clearer view of enemies at a distance, and the LS-1 Laser Sight improves weapon handling to increase your overall accuracy.

Best Specialist for G57

The G57 is a stable secondary weapon that has a decent firing rate and handling. This makes it useful when your primary weapon is out of ammo.
