Fix Golden Gun in PvE

It's been like 4 months and Golden Gun is still useless in PvE why hasn't it been fixed yet? When Unlimited Shadow Shots were being tossed about it was the end of days but Golden Gun bouncing off of low level, non-major cabal is working as intended? Black Spindle is lowered from 310 to 290 like it was game breaking but a class super being broken isn't? Fix the Super. Year one...it was fine. Year 2 it stinks. More than enough time has passed to do SOMETHING! It NEEDS to do at least 2x the damage it does now. Make it 6 shots. The Gun has 6 chambers it may as well have 6 bullets and the extra bullets would "fix" the problem. ---That said, the exotic helmets should be tweaked accordingly. Eagle helm should do double the damage it does, since there'd be double the shot power being put into it. And the Achlyophage (sp?) should probably get more than 1 shot and/or add an additional perk such as combustion or keyhole. If you folks at Bungie can't fix the super by adding shots, then let it reload at 2x the current speed until you all do have a real fix. ---To be clear, being able to use the super twice as much isn't the same as it doing 2x the damage it does BECAUSE it still won't kill anything that matters in one shot. But at least it'd be up to take down the riff-raff more often. If reloading 2x the speed is too hard to accomplish or is asking too much...if adding more shots so that you can kill a major is too much, then allow grenades and throwing knives to charge at 2x the rate while the super is charged. More than enough time has passed. Please Do Something.

      • You do realize giving gg 6 shots would make it the most op super in pvp. Think about what you want done and what it would do to pvp.

          All the people replying by talking shit about the 'Huntard'... I want to start by saying that Hunter is my least-played class. For PvE, Titan. For PvP, Warlock. So, I was running the Nightfall with a friend yesterday. Since Solar Burn is active, he was running Gunslinger. At one point near the end, we encountered some Majors grouped together. My friend activated Golden Gun, and... It took all three shots to kill one Major. [b]WITH SOLAR BURN ACTIVE[/b]. That's just stupid. I'm fairly certain that my Sunbreaker melee was doing more damage. That the Brawler modifier is active, is irrelevant; melee shouldn't do more damage than a Super, period. Gunslinger needs some sort of buff. If a Hunter says 'F#ck it, I'm switching to Nightstalker' when Solar Burn is active, then something is definitely wrong.

            • The only thing Golden Gun needs is an increase in damage against minions of the darkness.

                  • While I don't necessarily agree with your ideas for buffs (six shots would be OP, considering thats about how many hammers a Sun-bro can throw, but GG has no real travel time) I don't think that Gunslinger is where it should be. I never feel rewarded for using the super in PvE, and I'm always a bad hand with the throwing knives, but that's more of a skill thing. I think having GG do more damage for each shot by a percentage would be enough for the super tbh. I may be a Titan main but I do think Gunslinger and Bladedancer for that matter need some buffs.

                  • I would say you are absolutely right, it doesn't need to be changed in crucible its fine where it is, but for PvE it is underwhelming at best. I used to love using gunslinger all the time every day whenever I was playing a hunter but now I don't feel like I can have fun with it anymore. I feel selfish for wanting to use it if I'm doing any sort of remotely serious activity thats not patrol because I know I can't contribute as much as any other class. I want to be able to use gunslinger in nightfall without solar buff and still expect to contribute. I'm not crying about it I just miss using gunslinger outside of crucible efficiently.

                  • I agree with the idea, but I don't agree with the methods. Golden gun is for single target damage, so it should have more damage per shot, considering it only has 3, not more shots. More shots would make it more of a bane in the crucible. In pvp, giving it more damage might cause some problems, because it would allow the gun to be used at a much greater range than before, since damage falloff would take longer to render the golden gun useless. But considering pvp map limitations, rather than pve map limitations, a buff to damage might not be so bad. Everything already one shots people in the crucible anyway. There are a lot of problems with damage falloff the way it is in PVE rather than PVP.. In pvp you could practically snipe someone using the golden gun. But when I pulled the gun out once something different happened. I was in the taniks strike, where you fight the fallen spider tank. I had my back against the door and used a golden gun shot against a sniping vandal on the far side of the area. I used it, but it took less than half of its health. It was a red bar enemy. And I know that while a golden gun shot is instantaneous, unlike hammer of sol, golden gun is a single damage weapon, not a multi killer. So when hammer of sol does more damage to enemies than gunslinger I find it kind of ridiculous. Don't get me wrong the grenades and Melee are great in pve. It's just the super I have a problem with.

                  • What kind of hunter are you? You're a disgrace asking for buffs. True hunters only know nerfs!

                    • It really does need something, there's no way I would raid with gg or Bd in there condition. I would be OK with saying no there fine but the new hunter sub is really good at everything pve and pvp.

                      • Golden gun should receive a damage buff. I shouldn't have to wear that helmet just to make the shot worth something.

                      • Your info is wrong. It never says GG has 6 chambers. If anything, it has 8 because it's based off of TLW.

                        • You only perpetuate this ridiculous stereotype of whiny bitchy hunters. Golden gun is fine, my go to pve build in all honestly. The celestial knighthawk rips bosses and ultra mobs to shreds, golden gun, like all hunter supers, are situational in their use, stop using it wrong.
