Here’s why… because nerfing Anarchy does nothing to balance the game. Is anything that will replace it balanced ? Is Xeno balanced? Are overflow Vorpal launchers balanced? Are reconstruction MGS balanced? Is reconstruction balanced as a perk at all? It will simply shift the the meta to something else that is completely busted. Anarchy has been broken for over two years, why care now? And why wait until the most OP seasonal mod to ever hit the game is gone to nerf it? Nerfing anarchy in relation to creating balance is like sticking a sword in the sand and saying you killed it.

Edited by Mynwe: 7/13/2021 10:33:34 PMAny meta shift is good for the game. I don't know if the alternatives are 'balanced' or not, but they're likely not as bad as anarchy. If they are, in time I'll ask they get nerfed too.

Xeno is balanced because it doesn’t do good burst damage it’s solid sustained damage that’s it. Hence why they said in the anarchy nerf it’s going to stop being a jack of all trades. Weapons can’t be amazing at everything xeno is balanced because it actually has shit dps compared to most other dps options

Anarchy isn’t a burst DPS weapon in the slightest though. Depends on how they nerf it. It’s definitely ticks for too long and takes too much ammo. But a true jack of all trades it isn’t. It’s just a very extreme version this season because of how it procs B&C for other weapons, continues to proc it and even tics extra damage from it. And you can blame Bungie for that combo. But you aren’t using it against anything you need gone right away normally. Or anything with a shield up, or oracles in VOG or security tubes etc. So it definitely doesn’t get use everywhere. Just against champs and bosses.

Anarchy isn’t burst dps but it is free damage like you shoot then switch so it adds onto the burst of your other weapons. It’s great at boss damage melting. Great at add clear. Great at ammo economy. What is anarchy bad at? It very well may be the best weapon in the game

Firstly id like to say that xeno is bad. And do you mean lmg with reconstruction for dps? In which case you are delusional. Nothing will reach anarchy because it combined with slug was great dps, just sticking anarchy was great passive damage. When something is hard you stick it with anarchy and run hide, NO OTHER GUN DOES THAT WELL. Witherhoard can do the same but with much less dps. Nothing is even close to doing what anarchy can, therefore no, nothing will replace it as THE best option, or one of the best, for ALL PVE CONTENT while doing the unique thing anarchy does. Its super op, way more than anything ever since auto loading removal and deserves the nerf 100%. Breach and clear just makes it better, but its insane without

Please tell me one place where dps matters, where you think xeno is good

So it’s that busted and Bungie cares about balance but it’s taken this long ( 2 + years ) to nerf it? I’m not talking about reconstruction lmgs being meta. I’m saying that the perk makes it better than all other LMGs. Same for Heritage ( busted ) Xeno has unlimited range, requires no precision and has ammo capacity for some of the best brain dead DPS in the game. I’m not saying Anarchy isn’t OP. I’m saying nerfing it in the name of balance with all the shit that is broken in the game is a joke. Especially after they let it run wild for years. And aren’t even nerfing it until breach and clear is gone… which makes it even more OP than it already was.

Reconstruction is a good perk yes, yet FILO is a better shotgun. If heritage had vorpal it would be best, but recombination doesnt cut it. Xeno isnt that good dps either, its actually quite bad. So neither of those are broken. With them removing quickswap, anarchy is one of the very few things that would be super strong. Keep in mind we dont know really anything about anarchy changes. They said take it from a jack of all trades to being a master at something
