With the new update online, pulse rifles now have a 9.7% base damage increase. Post your thoughts! How has this changed the Crucible? Are they more useful in PvE now? Will [i]you[/i] begin using pulse rifles now if you hadn't before?

Oversoul Edict is an absolute [i]terror.[/i] Watch out for that gun in the Crucible.

I will have to whip out my juju and three little words, see how they stack up now.

All it did was have everyone switch from AR's to pulse rifles. That's not balance. Red Death is the new suros and even the Vex is weaker.

now when i get shot with trash weapons like red death and bad juju, i have to wait to see what killed me because i'm sure it was heavy ammo

It is pretty ridiculous. I am now seeing Suros Regime users get .14 KDs while Red Death users are now getting 2.00+ KDs. I honestly don't like the change very much. Every level 32 I see is using a pulse rifle. My Hawkmoon is nothing compared to the improved pulse rifles. I used to come in first every Iron Banner game and now I am struggling to get third. The "slight" reduction to hand cannon accuracy plus the pulse rifle bullets that drastically stagger your character is a bad combination. Hand cannons are so inaccurate against these pulse rifles. The only way that I win a gun fight is if I get a considerable damage bullet headshot with my Hawkmoon and that is very difficult to do with this new update. Bungie wanted people to use pulse rifles more, but making them crazy OP isn't the way. I play Crucible quite a lot, but I won't be doing so if this keeps up. Bad day for hand cannon users that now find their gun to be missing every shot. Good day for pulse rifle users that take down guardians' shields in one burst. I don't use auto rifles much so I can't say anything about that.

Bad juju will wreck.

So Jon in his wisdom or LACK of it decided to buff pulse rifles ok good idea I don't think he should have gone to the game and tried it out my maxed out pulse has a 21 clip fires 3 rounds quickly doesn't give you a chance to kill sword of crota an easy kill with auto rifle all I see. To be doing is reloading my pulse will be stopping where it is in the vault.The lack of common sense to trial and test run a buff or nerf is indicative of lack of game concept and no concept of the game I have played 8 hrs with the pulse and on all occasions have have to fall back on auto please note I am not a good player but bungie have moved this game more and more to multi player at the expense of solo players
-
Does anyone notice the damage increase? When I check my pulse rifle stats they are still the same no damage increase.

Just went 20-3 with Three Little Words coming halfway into a match. Technically 80% of kills was to my ThunderLord and GG but hey who's counting......
-
haven't played today yet but man am I excited to red death some people in crucible. Used it a lot before this patch so it will be interesting to feel the change.
-
Red death, super pox vlo, and bad juju are where it is at now. I shall return to the battlefield as a spartan, I mean guardian with my 3 burst shot rifles.

Three Little Words.

Currently using Praedyth's Timepiece to wreck faces in Crucible. It's amazing.
