Hey Guardian. I'm a big fan of the Pocket Infinity. Also one of my original go to exotics in the Crucible during year one. It truly was a little overpowered before they adjusted its stats, but for a confident fusion user that didn't actually change how useful the gun was in the crucible. The thing that makes the Pocket Infinity not viable in the crucible was the changes to the special ammo crates. I'd love to see Bungie stats when that happened because absolutely the entire community put it down when this happened because the weapon is known to burn through ammo like crazy. In regards to the stats themselves, there really isn't anything wrong with this exotic. As an exotic it still maintains a very unique feel and is heads above the best exotic Fusion Rifle (Yeah I said it). Plan C is great, but honestly outside of the perk to draw and fire immediately it's outdone by Thesan for power and range and (after the recent FR adjustments) Long Far Gone and Panta Rhei for speed on normal charge. This is of course with good rolls. Back to Pocket Infinity it's missed bullet reload is far above 25%, you can tell this by the audio queue when you fire the gun. It's archetype is unique because it's a slow initial charge rate which would make you think it should have range but it doesn't, probably because the follow up shots are instant so acts like a fast charge Fusion. It will make people disappear at close range no question and the pre charge is different because you can actually start firing before you or the enemy round the corner in a preemptive strike. The stability is for the user to handle due to this but as I said it's a close range Fusion so this shouldn't be that tricky once you're used to the kick. Pocket Infinity is a gun that is just truly fun to use, and if you really want to see that, pull it out next time Mayhem is on as I always do and surprise Year 2 players who have never been melted by the glory that is. Feel free to offer any feedback on this, I really liked this post.

  • A big thank you for taking your time to write that. Yeah maybe it's just me being out of practice with it. I don't care if they buff it or not, but please bring it back in first place.

  • Oh yeah I completely missed out on that in my post. I would absolutely love it to be brought forward to Year 2 and onwards. Honestly I truly thought that over the course of the year every single exotic would have that happen, even the deadly Thorn. With Gjallahorn coming to Year 3, here's to hoping that everything else does as well. The variety of exotics is what makes the shooting viable to all players I think. Again, thanks for the post Guardian.
