Shot Package NEEDS to Return

Yes - To its ORIGINAL Pre-Nerf State

471

Yes - But to its post nerf state

185

Def No

773

Ladies and Gentlemen of the destiny forums. I have a great proposition to the game that will finally restore balance in the game and rebalance secondary's. [quote]Note: Obviously primary's need a buff all across the board to make them more competitive.[/quote] Back on to the point, my idea is to bring SHOT PACKAGE back. (Interesting idea-Make shot package be able to roll on fusion rifles to reduce spread of the projectiles). So why should we bring shot package back? Well simple, one of the base-line rules of a PvP multiplayer is to prevent inconsistencies in the game. Shotguns right now are the definition of inconsistent where in some cases they have good range and in other cases will not kill point blank. Shot package is a perk that will restore consistency to shotguns (and fusions possibly if it were to be added to FR). This would change the current meta from a campy one to a meta where you could expect rushers and campers, a balanced meta. Please don't reply if you don't read the whole post...

    Too many people confuse latency with range , they see someone shoot them on their screen from a long way away and assume it's the same way on the other screen even though we know that's often not the case and the guy on the other screen may well be in your face. There are some pretty substantial frame rate delay between different players in many matches. I personally wouldn't mind seeing the return of Matador with shot package. It helps diversify the sniping. Right now you need to double shot people with invective, or get a lucky shot with conspiracy theory. There have been more than a few matches where I have been one shot with invective, now I know that's not possible. What it tells me is I never saw the first shot because of frame delay

  • I like the fusion rifle idea a lot, but I definitely don't think shot package should return.

  • Ewww no. Sounds fusions would go back to their long range 1hk. Very annoying during the plan c and pocket infinity days ....

    It has returned. It's called Conspiracy Theory D. And it is a constant aggravating reminder of why it was removed in the first place.

    • Sure thing for fusions but not shotguns. That on a conspiracy theory d would make me not play pvp again.

    • After reading this I guess it would be fine if it came back just not on year 1 shotguns (matador,felwinters)

    • I think shotguns need hammer forged back. And they need range that at least fills have the bar

      These forums are way too scared of shotguns making a comeback. GUYS. BLINKS BEEN NERFED Y'KNOW. Don't let your PTSD overcome your decision.

      • Yeah! And let shotguns have the potential for shot package and range finder on the same gun! [spoiler]Joking, please don't let this be a thing.[/spoiler]

      • Either that or return shotguns to their 2.0 status. Besides it was the archetype of shotguns that was the problem not shot package. I never felt dirty using my now dismantled Dry Rot with shot package.

        • No not obviously primaries need a buff. You die so fast from pulses and scouts as is. Autos need the buff...again

          • I read the whole post but that didn't make things any clearer. They were right to get rid of shot package, it should stay gone. SG range was ridiculous pre removal.

                    You made me like this! - old

                    Hell no. Shot package is where it belongs. Burning in the circle of hell reserved for the likes of hitler and stalin. This game is a high time to kill game. Why? So your abilities remain relevant in PvP. People forget this. "Buffing primaries to make them competitive." Won't work. It'll bring the TTK down and expose more and more flaws with this multiplayer that's built around a slower paced PvP.

                      Introduce more slug rounds like The Chaperone but with high precision dmg and better range You have closer ranged buckshot types (if I have that right) that spread but pack a better punch up close and into the chest plate Or slug round types with better range but pack a bigger punch with accurate shots to the dome plate No need for shot package I think several weapon classes should have different types in a way. We couldn't have a special version of Sleeper Simulant?

                    • Consistency doesn't mean that every gun in a category plays the same. That's ridiculous.

                    • No, shotguns are In a good place right now. Snipers need sway, fusion rifles need a smaller cone, and sidearms need to do more critical damage.
