Hi all,
Which primary weapon do you primarily use; and why?
I am debating which primary should I use and I would very much like some of your opinions and suggestions to help me to decide.
I very much like the scout rifle for it has good impact, which interrupts the targets, and good damage. Also I always aim for a head shot (or a belly shot against the Vex). So I have grown fond of the scout rifle since I started playing. I also like the hand cannon too; except for its relatively small cartridge size painfully long reloading speed. I have tried to really like it and use it but I have always ended falling back to the scout rifle. The pulse rifle is a good choice too although I do not use it that often. I feel that it is not as easy to use as the auto rifle and not as impactful as the scout rifle and the hand cannon. I however have to say that the pulse is very good at one thing: scoring headshot. First you aim at the chest just below the neck, which is larger and easier to aim than the head, then the recoil will move the muzzle up and you will hit the head.
Lately, I have done some PvP matches and some team PvE. I have noticed that a lot of people are using the auto rifle. I would say nearly a majority of them. For me, I just cannot get used to the constant recoil and the constant adjusting of aim. I understand its appeal and it also manages to score a lot of team kills too. With the auto rifle, you can start aiming at the general direction before moving into a more precise aiming, and thus almost always hits something. WIth the scout rifle and the hand cannon, you have to aim first before firing, and then reengage when necessary and fire again. In PvE teaming, it annoys me to see that my kill counts are lower than a auto rifle user but I believe I deal more or less the same amount of damage; just that my bullets hit fewer targets.
So anyway, what do you use? Please share your views on the primary weapons.
Thanks!

Why isn't the fusion rifle on the list? My mythoclast is a primary!
-
I use the pulse rifle cuz I hav red death
-
I use all depending on the situation, if it's cqc auto rifle, long range scout and for general use while on mission or farming bad juju because of no reload and "infinite" ammo
-
Scout is for me. I preffer to do one or two shots from the distanceinstead of bargiing into the enemy and start shooting like crazy a full clip of an auto....
-
THE LAST WORD GET REKD
-
The Last Word. Nuff said
-
Finally got Bad JuJu and Red Death seems like a good pvp weapon. So I'm trying to learn the ins and outs of those two weapons and shy away from the auto rifles for a while. Kinda looking forward to the other primary weapon buffs, and the AR nerf, oddly enough, lol. And I'm not usually one to promote nerfing, but when suros regime is tearing up in competitive multiplayer, especially considering the amount of people using it, the fun kinda falls short. I used it in pvp one day and then benched it. It's just way too easy to get kills with.

Pulse rifle, Fair and Square (full mod), in both PvE an PvP. Until or if I'll ever get a Hawkmoon, that is. PRs are great allrounders IMO. If you can get the headshot right in PvP, it's awesome. If not, it's going to be a 50/50 duel with it. Clearly best mid-range, where most fights plays out. I'd switch to Hawkmoon mostly because it's so damn fine designed.

Edited by Demon: 10/5/2014 10:33:03 PMI either use a scout rifle, auto rifle or shotgun as my primary weopon.
-
I can already guess the outcome.
-
Red Death Much better than I thought it would be.
-
Mmmmmm Red Death mmmmmmmmm
-
My mythoclast. Almost fully upgraded....just need those 12 energies!
-
Auto rifles are for noobs.
-
I use the auto rifle for versatility, in PvE and PvP. I pretty decent at getting head shots with it, but its a rare for now untill I build up my dead orbit rep.
-
I switch between my Epilogue AR and Thorn HC depending on what I'm up against, or if I require void damage.
-
I like the hand cannon more than the scout rifle because of the smaller zoom. I play mostly PvE so if I have a scout rifle it's hard to hit enemies up close.
-
Auto rifles are for sissies who cant aim
-
Eh, I switch it up a lot, but I guess i use pulse rifles the most in PvE.
-
Edited by GoFish75: 10/5/2014 10:12:36 PMUntil scouts get a buff, I'm sticking with autos. It's not that I don't like them it's just that they aren't much of a threat in pvp.
-
A fully upgraded Suros Regime works great for me. High Caliber Rounds stagger everything pve and it ROCKS in pvp especially after the nerf because of the extra range option. It is the best gun in the game!!!!!
-
Since I received Thorn, my main switched from a Scout Rifle to the Hand Cannon, but I sometimes use my Suros/Hex
-
I love using my red death almost have it upgraded so I can use its full upgrade skill. And when I used it without upgrades it
-
That first Vanguard pulse rifle with all the dmg boosts and 42 round mag. I find that gun amazing even among Exotics. With both those buffs active it fires about as fast as an Auto with the power and range of a scout.
-
I use grim citizen in my hunter and warlock auto rifle comes in handy for doing headshot bounties and quick at killing
-
Mainly Auto Rifles with a 75 rounds in it. But I also use any Hand Cannons that has over 8 rounds in it too. XD
