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.

I used hawksaw once in pvp and I didn't like it

Nope. Handcannons and scouts are all I need.

1 ReplyEdited by Derpish: 11/3/2015 9:57:55 PMJade Rabbit is still great. Pulse Rifles shouldn't be able to outperform Scouts at long ranges. When I'm sitting at the back of a map to pick off enemies with a long range primary, I shouldn't be getting two-bursted by a Pulse from across the map. They need to have damage falloff start sooner so Scouts can actually do [i]something[/i] better than Pulses can. Pulse vs. Scout by Stats: Rate of Fire: Pulses win (equal in actual combat, though) Impact: Scouts win Range: Scouts win Stability: Pulses win Reload: Scouts win Mag Size: Pulses win [i]When Scout Rifle stats are almost universally higher, it makes no sense that Pulse Rifles kill faster from longer range.[/i]

Last word boiii

I feel the same as you but I'm starting to dislike PvP now because of this dumb meta
-
Don't feel trapped at all...I run a hand canon now more then ever. (I use to SUCK with them but I'm decent now) Still won't run an auto rifle unless it's in PvE

Monte Carlo, Touch of Malice, Hung Jury, An Answering Chord, Ace of Spade (Hunter Only), Zhalo Supercell. there are plenty of guns that can compete with pulse rifles, just try new stuff out and hopefully it suits your style.

1 ReplyRIP Hopscotch Pilgrim [i]What were the chances I find a gun similarly named as my gamer tag?[/i]

I wondered why after the update (pre ttk) I kept seeing red death and nechro I kept using my nechro but red death melted me
-
Nah, I use my jade rabbit or my legendary scout if I'm gonna use my chaperone. Sometimes I'll play with my suros if I want to switch it up.
-
I feel like I can do well wife non-pulses, I'm just waiting on a good hand cannon roll. I have some good scouts and autos from HoW, but not really any good handcannons or year 2 primaries outside of red death and bad juju.
-
Hawkmoon or my Hung Joury with third eye and life support. But Nirwens Mercy is still my go to primary
-
4 RepliesI'd like to use handcannons again, and I do for a while, until I remember how over the top pulse rifles are.

2 RepliesBeen using pulse rifles pre buff always has been my fave weapon type. If it's a small map then I go with my zarinea-D(that's probably spelt wrong lol) high stability so easy headshots at mid to close range
-
1 ReplyI have had Dead Orbits Hung Jury, and it's great and all, but I felt destroyed and outmatched by these Pulsies. So I left Dead orbit (I Cri evry tim) for Future War Cult to get the Villainy.
-
Definitely not. I feel more restricted by snipers. Especially in pve. You can use whatever you want as a primary, I couldn't care less. But I hate that malice and spindle are practically required for the raid.
-
I hate that the only weapon I can use is grasp of malok...
-
No i feel trapped by not having reforging

1 ReplyIt is all pulse rifles and 1000 Yard Stares, getting kind of old really fast, I found the way things were before the 2.0 patch to be a little more bearable. At least with the hand cannon/shotgun era they had to close in on us and we could react and win with varying load outs. As more people join the high stability pulse rifle/high impact high aim assist sniper kick the less I am able to use different load outs, like my favorite scout/sidearm combo. I am either 2/3 burst by a pulse rifle at any range you want really because they are so stable and the maps are mostly all medium range, or I am picked off by people with world record reaction times with a sniper before I even had a chance to finish my re-spawn animation.

2 RepliesEdited by StealthMonkeyDC: 11/3/2015 9:32:56 PMAll they need to do is nerf the range so they are more balanced. The problem with them right now is they knock scout rifles out of the park because they can do more dps at the range level that is supposed to be ruled by scouts! Scouts are supposed to be strong, consistent damage from a range that is second only to snipers but right now using anything short of Tlaloc is basically a handicap as Pulse can outshoot you through pure speed at the same range.

I'm really enjoying using my Inward Lamp with full auto/outlaw. If you roll one that has firefly or zen moment too it would definitely be worth levelling up and trying out.

Went 7-0 yesterday with Jade Rabbit it ToO. Didn't use any boons so we royally screwed up and would have gone to lighthouse had we gotten the freebie win and the bonus win for first match won. Bummer. But there were a ton of Pulse rifles I was the only one between my team and opposing teams to be using a scout.

1 ReplyI use a scout rifle but it often feels like pulse rifles are still strong at ranges where I should dominate. Everyone I see is either using a pulse or scout; I feel like I haven't lost a one-on-one firefight with an auto or hand cannon at all since TTK dropped. It's kind of ridiculous.
