Primaries are useless

Nobody uses them anymore the only primaries people use anymore are 1. TLW and 2. UR and that isn't even a primary and 3. MIDA. It's just pathetic how shit primary weapons really are. They are practically useless. Ask the forums what to do about a shotgunner coming straight for you. Everyone just says use a fusion literally primaries have such a long time to kill that you will either trade or die from that little bitch shotgunner. Snipers literally every door I go around has one camping it, and this isn't a problem??? Seriously wtf. This IB you'd be lying if you said you didn't seen at least 5 shotgun rushers per game. I really wish we could go back to HOW days when primaries actually did something. Update? Don't know how this works I didn't mean to seem like a rant but primaries kill times are to slow compared to God roll shotguns and snipers with no flinch, and how people tell me to use 1 out of maybe 30 weapons they list, but every weapon and arch type should be good. Like grim citizen that arch type needs some work done to it. If your precise enough to land all head shots at mid to long range the shotty rusher will kill you. Oh and I'm on Xbox so telling me to use The Jade Rabbit isn't possible lmao.

    • My only advise would be to try and play a little smarter. I don't in any way mean that as an insult. I completed the Shax bounty which requires you to use each type of primary playing I.B. on each character and I am not a PVP player. Look at the perks on the weapon that you are using and adjust your play style to best utilize those perks. Don't rush in.... If I wasn't playing with friends in a fireteam, I would let the blueberries rush in and try to get the kills behind them. If I was with my fire team, we try to work as a group to quickly take out single or double players. I had no problem taking out shotgun rushers with any of the primaries if I could positions myself so that I had good clean shots as they rushed in. Try not to get frustrated.. That will typically just make things worse. If you are having a hard time in a match then think about changing what you are doing. I tried several different weapons of each type before I found one that suits my style. I like to use weapons with range. I found a hand cannon with good range so I used it with nice results. I try not to rush so I didn't use The Last Word. Anyway it's just something that I try to do when I start to get frustrated. I change what I'm doing even if it's been working the last ten matches.

    • just been in the ib and doing some bounties pulse/scout rifle/hand cannon kills that jolly little one and using full auto apple pulse 1 game and done then i moved onto a scout and on this class a full auto dis scout that took 33 games s im not a scout user in crucible , but oh boy when theres a tard stood there thinking he is all that with his mida and i destroy him with my dis and he gets all stroppy and gets a sniper out and still gets knocked over its just to funny. then i break out the paleo and go 23-10 . its horses for courses some maps favour certain guns AND your play style , eg bad juju was awesome now its cr@p but full auto apple is cool ok its not awesome but its good but ill only use that on certain maps. the point is that if 1 gun doesnt do it for you play about with different guns/playstyles , there are that many guns and variants in destiny its just silly to sit there and stick with one load out for all maps and then moan when you get hosed everygame.

      • The problem is that primaries are almost tiered with the archetypes. High impact is nearly unusable if you want to do anything, medium impact is okay, and low impact is pretty much a trump card to the other two.

                I remember playing games that only HAD 6-12 guns for 1-12 years with no complaints. We had our small variety of options and loved every second of it. People spent years honing their skills with just one type of weapon class with no complaints about diversity or anything. But here we are..... modern gaming.... where kids demand the world and expect to be handed everything for paying next to nothing($120-140...LOL i've met people who've spend 3K on a game). You play for thousands of hours and complain about lack of content. The second bungie balances something you find something else to complain about. Just enjoy the game. I don't mind if it's bad or unbalanced, I will play what makes me happy, you should too. Take my worldly advice as your elder(18 years of [u]online[/u] gaming). Games come and go, don't waste so much time being angry and complaining about them, just enjoy them. Play it the way you like to play, and if it one day isn't the game you want it to be anymore, move on. Plenty of other fish in the sea. :) Edit: TL:DR : If you are not happy with the game, go play a different one. Thanks :)

                • You need to calm down and just find a gun that works for you. Not everyone can just use the meta guns and melt all opposition. I like the Monte Carlo and the hawkmoon personally, and do ok with some other legendary hand cannons. Its all about how you play and what you have the skill to use.

                      • Well mida, tlw, and ur are primaries and those aren't useless. I use plenty of different primaries and I do ok. But I do see why people use the same thing over and over again. It works. Its not insanity, it's playing to win. I like mida over other things because of the speed boost but I use my rapier a lot as well. The last word is great for sniping because of rushing shotgunners but mida doesnt cut it while running sniper, all be it a fun loadout to use sometimes. Maybe people only use these certain weapons because they are good and they work. So the real question is why people would use something that works not as efficient.

                          If your not getting kills with primaries your not using them right. Im average in pvp and i can get a killing spree with just about any primary except imprecation lol This is from yesterday alone 1v3 scout vs snipers http://xboxclips.com/quadracer786/fc91d513-974c-47d3-a038-98264779f13f

                          maybe you just need better primary guns with better perks. I have 3 entirely different pdx41s that melt people. try just hunting for perks you like and keep a gun or two with it. also after having checked your stats, it wouldnt hurt you to use secondaries a bit more. you only have 6k kills bro. maybe you should play more crucible before you think people are overusing shotguns/snipers
