Red Death wrecks in pvp: detailed explination, and tips for pulse rifle users.
Anyone else use Red Death in pvp? I'm an advid pulse rifle user and have only been using pulse rifles since day one. And i have to say that Red Death is definetly the best pulse rifle for pvp. If you aim for the mid chest area the weapon automatically kicks up to the persons head. So if your landing just head shots you melt down most targets in seconds. I find myself outgunning most AR's/ Suros, handcannons. The impact for the weapon is what really makes it shine as well as the high caliber rounds perk. Which makes it an absolute shit house in pvp.
But you might be saying to yourself how does it hold up in CQ well friends i have a trick to tell you. There is a certain trick to out gun most people in CQ by repeatly spamming the lift trigger to aim down the sight, so what this does is automatically snap to your target with little to no effort in actually moving the thumpsticks. Kind of like an auto aim mechanic. I use this method alot especially in games like BF4 where the only weapons i used were the M16A4 and the M4 which both are burst fire weapons if you didnt know. I hope this little trick has been useful to you. If any of you other pulse rifle fanatics have more tricks please feel free to share!

My pulse rifle is better.

I do like it a lot, don't get me wrong, but it's the delay in each burst that kinda annoys me a little.

Your KD is below 1.2. Just stop. Come find me and my last word.

1 ReplyWell I'm pretty experienced in Battlefield 4 ( Lv. 130 haha ) and I just wanna tell you something. The 93R pistol is the go-to if you like easy kills. Aim at the chest, and it always gets headshots because of the kick. Kills really fast and is fun
-
1 ReplyPost patch yeah, red death is great! But you have to play conservative and not get rushed by auto bros. Even then it doesn't matter because fusion and shotty will still kill you faster ;)

2 RepliesI have to say the few red death users I've seen in crucible have absolutely dominated me at mid range fights. I should test the red death since I have it to confirm some of your statements. I'm not an avid crucible player but I do have experience in it. Oh and for those who wonder what weapon I run with is either the vex mytho or suros as primaries. My secondaries change depending on the map.

3 RepliesSince people are so concerned about my KD in crucible here is my BF4 account. Yes I do realize they are completely different games but they have very similar aiming mechanics, and I use the same type of weapon for both games which is burst-fire etc: Pulse Rifle/M16A4/M4. And people that say you can't apply the same fundamentals you use in one video game to another is just plain ignorant.

-
I use red death but ive stooped since i got the last word which is a beast.
-
I've wanted this gun for so long because how amazing it is in the crucible. I'll settle for my shadow price in the mean time.

7 RepliesGet your hands on VoC your opinion will change pretty quick lol

28 RepliesWow for the little amount you've even played crucible, your k/d indicates you're in no position to lecture anyone on how to play.
-
I use it for my titan on pve and pvp and it wrecks either way
-
I have been using almost only Red Death for two weeks now and yes in the right hands it does wreck in PVP. However there are a few Legendary pulse rifles with better stats, Red Death just allows players who can win their fights to heal to full and keep winning.

4 RepliesI much prefer bad juju, but red death is fun. ROF is a tad too slow for me though.
-
I love Red Death but don't use it much because I've been leveling up many different weapons, and like to use a variety based on different situations. At heart I am a Scout Rifle user though.
-
Good post; thanks for the tips. I don't care for PvP but have a couple of exotic bounties to complete this week and will try my red death to see if it makes a difference. My K/D can only go up; (as I'm sure some PvP "expert" will point out shortly.)
-
super pox is better for pvp and pve maxed out it makes Red Death obsolete other than the fact it looks cool and heals you
-
1 ReplyHow does it hold up to PVE though?
-
You don't have to tell me. I saw this gun on the Drawing Board long before Destiny was released, and I knew then I had to have it... before I even found out if it was any good gameplay-wise. Now I have it, and I love it. It's great in both PvE and PvP; the healing effects come in handy when you're surrounded in PvE, and the 3-shot kills makes it the single best pulse rifle in the Crucible.

I saw a review on the red death before the launch of Destiny and I said to my self this is a gun I must have. Once I got it I saw what a beast this pulse rile could become. It took me a few days to have it fully upgraded and the only word that came to mind was "domination" with auto rifles you aim at your target press the trigger and off you go with bullets hitting your target but if some bullets miss you just re adjust a little and you hit your target again all with one clip. With pulse rifles it's a little different you aim at your target shoot a short burst of bullets your target moves and you re-adjust your shot and hit your target again with another short burst with all of your bullets hitting the target. By this time your target should be dead or close to being dead. With the red death your target is dead after 2 short burst are aimed at the chest and head. Red death is not the type of gun that you can just jump in the middle of the fight with because you will get killed. It makes you step back a little bit and take down your opponent fast and efficiently with accuracy and power. Red death is an amazing gun and anyone that is fortunate enough to own this weapon really has something special in the world of Destiny. I did the raid a few times with the red death and it worked beautifully. In my opinion Red Death comes only 2nd to the Vex Mthyoclast. When red death was created the team at destiny really took there time on this weapon and it diff shows. Thank you bungie for creating this beast of a pulse rifle.

Thanks for sharing! Red Death has been in my top wishlist since not too long ago. :)
