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.

Praedyth's Timepiece with perfect balance is actually really good in PvP. It is a laser than can burst someone down without them having time to react. In PvE I switch in the extra ammo and the thing does damage for days. also you don't get penalized for missing due to the high fire rate. That being said it is hard raid gatekeepers only so very few people actually have it because there is no way of cheesing that fight like there is for the fatebringer or VM, but if you get it I highly recommend it. They take some getting used to just like hand cannons, and are best suited to medium range for sure. But they are definitely viable, especially Red Death. In PvP it is very underrated.
