Anybody feel trapped by pulse rifles?
Right now they feel like the strongest weapon type out there and I'm sure most would agree.
I just don't really like them, but to feel like I can win a firefight in pvp I need to use one.
What are some of your primaries you have had success with in pvp that are NOT pulse rifles? I am struggling to find weapons I like since TTK came out.

Hung jury, haewkmoon, ace of spades, zhalo supercell, Boolean gemini

Multi tool is beast

I actually prefer auto rifles again. The Monte Carlo is amazing once you get the hang of it. The "an answering chord" you can get from one of the first quest lines has non-flinching, decent stability and range. It has become my go auto for pvp and pve. Hawkmoon is damn good too. Scouts are totally viable on the bigger maps like widow's court. I've never like pulse rifles.

1 ReplyHawkmoon. Dominates at close-mid range

I did well with scout rifles. And the hand cannon is still pretty good. I had no problem getting the 7 headshot kills with Imprecation.
-
1 ReplyTLW is still really good if you use it properly. Unfortunately unless you used the gun a lot in year 1 it honestly isn't worth learning to use because it's nowhere near as powerful as it once was. Some good scouts are the suros dis-43 and suros dis-47. Hung jury from dead orbit is a great option. Boolean Gemini (I haven't personally tried it), is supposedly pretty good. The trials auto rifle with persistence, braced frame, and hidden hand was surprisingly competitive. Suros Regime is a good option with spinning up if you can land your headshots (pro-tip, don't reload it until the clip gets below 15 bullets minimum so that you can take advantage of glass half full).

1 ReplyYup. I did go on a murderous spree of a couple beast mode control matches using my Suros ARI-45 last night. But I think that was somewhat random. In general, pulses are the only real option. And that sucks. Expect a nerf, guys. Buffing everything else would work too, but that's not how Bungie works.
-
I agree that they are good but there are still other weapons to use. For instance, I'm using the last word when I play trials
-
Personally the pulse rifle has too much power and range, with too little stability. Autos don't hit hard enough, and hand cannons got rekt. They need a range or accuracy fix.
-
3 RepliesFlavor of the month. When they nerf pulse rifles and buff.....I think scout rifles are next..... everyone will be using scouts, and complaining about them as well.. BECAUSE HEY, WHO WOULD WANT TO PLAY A GAME WITH BALANCED WEAPONS ANYWAY.... AMIRITE?
-
Yes over nerfing hc,the only weapon the requires skill and not spamming, ruined pvp. Yea Thorn and TLW were overpowered and needed adjustment, but basically nullifying the whole archetype was a mistake.
-
try hand cannons . Year one had some good ones. Or auto rifles with high impact and high stability,
-
I've had success with the new autorifles, or let's just say my K/D hasn't dropped down at all since I stopped using the Thorn. Antipodal Hindsight The Dealbreaker An Answering Chord Zhalo Supercell
-
I love hawk moon and I use tlw some times too
-
It's funny when people think they're "good" I crucible on destiny. Lmao. Like wtf. Pvp takes absolutely no skill with everyone using pulse rifles and snipers. Also the game has crazy aim assist
-
I use a scout rifle on all three of my characters. Sometimes I will switch to a pulse rifle if I'm in tuff match.
-
Scouts are where it's at. At least for 3v3. And some longer range maps like forgotten shore. They better not ever touch scouts. They are fine the way they are.
-
they nerfed hand cannons and they were the only thing able to compete with pulse rifles.

Edited by Jykeous: 11/9/2015 10:02:08 PMNo. I would feel trapped, but I die too fast to even get into that position in the first place.
-
2 RepliesI use that suros scout full auto with stability perks and its awesome .I was stuck with pulse rifles until the gunsmith gave me this beauty
-
Don't think I put enough emphasis on it but TLW is still a beast. Destroys pulses if you get somewhat close.
-
Hawkmoon. I also used TLW in Trials this week, went 38-1 W/L. Out shot pulses at close range every time too. MIDA is also good but not really an option in ToO
-
1 ReplyJade Rabbit does fantastic if you keep engagement mid to long distance Same with hung jury Hawkmoon and Ace of Spades do pretty well still The only thing that's really suffered is the autorifles in my opinion
-
The crucible scout rifle, tho playing cover helps a lot
-
Suros Regime with spinning up perk and also Zhalo Supercell can be effective on some maps.
