Buff Pocket Infinity
The Pocket Infinity was nerf'd for one single reason. PVP. And now it's no longer viable in any PVP/PVE situation.
You have your choice of 3 rounds, that deplete quickly. Or, you have your choice of 5 rounds that couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.
It's Range is also the worst of any fusion rifle in the game. It used to be balanced out with a decent stability and mag size, but now it's just useless.
They nerfed Pocket Infinity. Nerfed ALL fusion rifles, hitting PI more. Then another nerf to fusion rifles, and so on.
Pocket Infinity is useless.
Please buff it back to it's former glory, especially now that all Exotic weapons have been discovered. There wasn't much to counter PI in the first month or two of the game, but now with Mythoclast, Thorn, Last Word, etc. we need the old Pocket Infinity back.

Edited by KissKiss: 6/8/2015 11:57:57 PMSo, at the risk of sounding like a scrub. I use PI in 99% of my crucible career, 90% win ratio in skirmish and 85% in ToO, this weapon is a beast. I was glad they nerfed it because let's face it...it needed the nerf. That being said, with the removal of special ammo crates in PVP and the starting ammo being at 7...the PI shoots in a burst of 3 each time the trigger is held. You run out of ammo much to quickly. I can deal with this and it seems fair, but on top of that the gun is now hit with the "spread" nerf rendering it useless at mid-range. So you have a disadvantage of A. Extremely long charge rate B. The gun glitches and jams 5% of the time, this is a known glitch C. Less starting ammo than a regular fusion rifle D. Range nerf, now it shoots at the range of a shotgun but with an extended charge rate E. Less ammo retrieved from crates F. Wider spread bursts G. No hip fire accuracy at all H. An exotic weapon So with all the nerfs aimed at regular fusion rifles, Bungie has overlooked that the PI is (although a fusion rifle) is in its own class, nerfing fusions across the board renders this weapon useless. The gun already has its short comings, they just made it worse. I say a better improvement should allow the player to pick up more ammo from special crates just for this gun alone. Why nerf fusion rifles so bad that this game is now dominated by shotguns? Why force us all to use one single weapon, the game is dominated by hand cannons and shotties, so boring...and unoriginal.

Tbh all fusion rifles need a buff... PE is definitely one of them
