Why does Hardlight suck so bad in crucible? It's not even on par with Suros regime, Hardlight is such a beautiful gun, but it sucks. Plus when I see someone using in online they can't do shit to me, it's sad, I really wish it was better, I would like to use, so I just stick to thorn, the last word, mida. But would like to use Hardlight as well :(

5 RepliesNah, hardlight aint bad just very well balanced. I out duel thorn and TLW user with it faitly proficiently, i use it like a pulse rifle but shot it about 5-7 round bursts. It kills pretty quick, you just have to be good.
-
Its good. I shoot people at mid range in the back with it all the time.
-
I use it on my lock sometimes I don't mind it
-
I'm going to level up my Hardlight and see if I can become beast with it, if I can master a crap weapon I'll be satisfied. I'll post gameplay if it turns out well

4 RepliesIs it bad that I have both hard light and suros and use neither?

Actually hard light is my go to when thorn is being spammed and vex cant handle the hardlight makes enemy's flinch like they are having a seizure so they are confused

Before the nerfs it was an absolute beast, shredded people.

1. The gun has max stability but still has more kick than guns with half the stability stat bar full. 2. Glass half full doesn't even give you any extra damage in crucible. If it does, it's like 1 extra damage. 3. It's exotic perk has no benefit in pvp unless you shoot people and their back is against a wall. 4. All ARs are pea shooters now thanks to the last nerf. They need a buff pretty bad. I was challenging my self yesterday and used for the people. Probably one of the absolute best ARs for pvp and I did OK, but it wasn't the gun. I got more kills with fancy grenade kills sniper shots. What kills I did get with the AR were never straight fights. I usually snuck up on them. Now this is with an AR that is a laser, the hard light has bad recoil, even lower range, and none of its perks do anything to benefit it in pvp.

It's not bad you just need to be accurate with its rate of fire if your landing head shots then you should be fine
-
I still love it. If you have plenty of experience with it (me) then you can do some serious damage!
-
Use it like an SMG. Boom killstreaks for days.

Liked the gun b4 big ar nerf

9 RepliesHardlight is truly awful, major props to anyone who has killed me in crucible with it ...

1 ReplyI beg to differ. I use hard light a lot and I've wrecked people in crucible who use Suros I use aggressive ballistics Field scout Just learn when to break contact. With this weapon you need to be smart know when to engage and when to break off and wait for a teammate to assist you. And the biggest tip I can give is be patient don't rush with this weapon use your angles and cover and know your range.

It's sucks so bad everywhere.

Oh the marshmellow gun
-
That thing is a pea shooter and it's so funny, blue auto rifles do more damage
-
Hard Light is so much fun to shoot. Done.

1 Replyhard light is epic. most people dont take enough time to use hardlight. and an unuppgraded hardlight is shit. but with the voilet light perk it makes it so the bullets bounce back towards you making able to kill opponents even faster. but of corse you need to have a wall behind your opponent. and stop treating it like suros. its not meant to be like it. it has small range. also dont place the perks on stability its a waste. learn to deal with the recoil and its good
-
The gun is made for PvE, at which it is amazing.
-
I love mine, used it all the time in PvE, just wish the damn thing did Arc damage. Imho, all exotics should do elemental damage. But since it only does kinetic, I don't use it for Nightfalls, Weeklies, or Raids.
-
1 ReplyWould like to use it as well but it's so confusing how sometimes it's a beast and the other 2/3 of the times I try it I can't kill to save my life :3
-
Hard Light is the one gun I had been wanting for months. I got it about a month or so ago from Crota and I honestly couldn't be happier. I think it does take some skill to use, as it can become quite unstable. But it's gorgeous to look at and can do quite a bit of damage, as long as you keep using it and sharpen your skills.

6 RepliesWell actually it's the best auto rifle now if you take aggressive ballistics. Does way more damage than other autos with the same fire rate.
-
Mine did pretty well in Crucible up until the last AR Nerf. After that it's only good for pve.

Not every weapon you get is meant to be good of viable in pvp. some are just trophy weapons, some are just pve weapons.
