Golgoroth's balls

As with most guns in Destiny, when there's a very high attribute in one category, there will be a very low in other to compensate (high rate of fire/low impact - low rate of fire/high impact). I was thinking of what would be like to have a "Rocket Launcher" that spills a pulse with three rockets (same as Golgoroth's black balls, when you hold the gaze) with very low velocity, but excellent tracking that dodge walls, have a limited lifetime, with a decent blast area effect on explosion and that could be destroyed with some amount of shooting from the pursued, but that could be outrunned if you keep running from them. I imagine that for PVE, you could shoot a pulse of balls at a boss and change guns to continue DPS, and for PVP you could keep a Guardian busy trying to hit those balls, while you switch to primary shooting him down, or pushing them back from an area (run to avoid the balls, like in the Golgoroth's challenge). Would you have fun with one of those? Give it a like if yes!

    Isn't that what the volley launcher would've been like? Can't we just get a really cool RPG that shoots faster than any Rocket, but has such a low blast radius it's really mostly used to precision hit targets, maybe with Proximity on it? A radius small enough to prevent multikills, but give it good single-target damage and a reasonably higher rate of fire. Make it a Hakke or Tex Mechanica Exotic. Please!!!

      It'd be worthless in PvP and poor for immediate crowd control in PvE due to the low projectile speed. When you use a heavy, you generally want quick results, especially in Crucible when OTHER people are going to be targeting you with their LMG's/RL's at the same time. With heavies, you want to[b] kill[/b] things, not mildly annoy things so they back off. We have enough tools to do that already. For bosses, it depends. If I'm worried about DPS, I'd still prefer Black Spindle + Quillim's or Sleeper Simulant + 1KYS. Like, the only real argument this weapon is going to have is damage, but Bungie has proven that they're against RL's that hard counter bosses like the Gjallarhorn. It seems like a fun weapon on paper, but it's also on the long list of guns that I wouldn't use in serious endgame encounters.

          • I don't understand. Rockets have such low ammo reserves. I feel like this should be a machine gun archetype if it's going to shoot balls?

          • I don't want to dismiss it entirely, but generally I dislike self guiding weapons.

            • Sounds pretty close to being an axion bolt with void fang equiped.
