I don't hear a lot about pulse rifles, Besides Red Death.
In my experience, it's the most awkward weapon to be consistently good with.
We always hear about autos, hand cannons and scout rifles, but not too much talk about pulse rifles.
Am I sensing a trend? Is it just me?

Been a long time coming. The upcoming weapons patch, along with Bungie's stats clearly show that pulse rifles are the least favourite weapon and also most underpowered.
I've been kicking ass the oversoul edict. It's actually one of the exceptions. With the buff, this gun will rule the crucible and arc burn nightfalls

I have 2 bad seed downs and a super pov vlo. Not feeling bad seed, although they have good perks. One has full auto, the other has headseeker. I wish i had one with both.

My issue is the damage seems lower than scouy rifles overall, and missing with a pulse is more punishing than with a scout.
Scout rifles seem better than pulse rifles in every way.

Bad juju will be such a beast once the buff hits.. It's already a fantastic gun hindered only by the 15 round mag. Most enemies will go down in under five bursts (including players in PvP) if you're landing crits and string of curses is a great perk. You just have to be extremely accurate with it currently. The timepiece is probably my favorite primary weapon. I absolutely love it for both PvP and PvE, it's just a really fun gun to use and is what turned me on to pulse rifles. Hopefully I'll be lucky enough to get my hands on Red Death soon as I haven't had the chance to try it out.
