Golden Gun duration
Am I the only hunter wondering how warlocks and Titans can run around the map with storm caller and hammer of sol for like a good 30 seconds yet hunters can't take 30 steps with golden gun before it runs out? It would be nice if you didn't have to panic every time you pop a golden gun... I means it's not like we get any extra armor or over shields, you can literally get killed in the middle of pressing the buttons, and every time you shoot it takes a third of the super away giving you less time to run around. I would just like to know why hunters super duration for golden gun is complete trash, you only get three shots, why aren't we able to have a little extra time to use it? And yes there are exotics that increase the duration and nodes that do the same, however, the exotic is trash because it makes you zoom in further making it harder for cqc, and the nodes in the golden gun tree require you to get kills during your super with your throwing knife, which doesn't even one hit kill people
Edit: to all the people saying the golden gun is hit scan are you forgetting that the golden gun basically shoots solar beams of light? Meaning even if it wasn't hitscan it would still be an almost instant kill.
Due to the theory of special relativity stating that in order for particles (that have a mass) to reach the speed of light they would need an infinite amount of energy, so unless any of the other supers shoot solar light that I'm unaware of, the golden gun would be a near instant kill with or without hitscan

1 ReplyIf this is your problem use the ATS8 arcnide helmet that lets you zoom in and keeps golden gun active for longer. It's the easiest super to use and as a result must have some problems to balance it. That being no armor and a short duration.

It's a super that is a simple point and shoot and profit. There is plenty of time to get 3+ kills in a 6v6 playlist if you're not potato fingers. Not to mention that it is probably the best super for Elimination.

17 RepliesInstead of golden gun, let's talk bladedancer. You know the roaming super thatcan only roam 5ft
-
4 Repliesomg people STILL complain about the things GG does not have (but doesn't need). Not many people are smart here.

1 ReplyThree shots three kills unless you're absolute trash

5 RepliesOh ffs, stop trying to genuinely apply real life science to a VIDEO GAME. This game has space magic, timetravelling robot races, evil ancient gods and a giant white sphere that makes humanity fabulous with ancient forces. And youre telling me that Golden Gun should work the way it does because of the theory of relativity which you clearly dont understand very well. GG can work however Bungie wants it to, which is perfectly well atm.

13 RepliesIn my opinion, the super should be on the same timer as storm trance, and you have as many shots as you can get off in that time, that would balance it with things like blade, storm and hammers.

It's fine dear, we hunters don't need half an hour to instant kill three guardians

1 ReplyAgreed. Any contrary (and therefore incorrect) opinions on this one are from Titan scrubs

2 RepliesI ran IB last night with double trip mine grenades and golden gun. Even when put on a squad of total potatoes I was still going positive. This loadout is a lot of fun. Find an area on the map. Seal the hallways with trip mines. Wait for Little Johnny to either blow himself up or bum rush you with minimal health after the trip mine blows. Once you've killed him a couple times he will bring his buddies with him to try and get you. Crack golden gun, kill them all, do a happy dance, repeat.

Earlier I was using unstoppable FOP and laughing every time I fisted one after getting a golden shower.

6 RepliesGolden gun should last a little longer tbh
-
4 RepliesOk, to start, it's only about 20-25 seconds they can run around. That also assumes you don't use the actual super ability. Throwing a hammer takes a chunk of the bar. Shooting a golden gun shot doesn't take any super energy. That's the trade off for the shorter time. So trying I compare those supers doesn't work. Regardless though, it should probably have its timer extended by a second or 2.

You won't get anyone sympathising with golden gun this week mate.
-
Stopped reading when you said hammers and storm last for 30 seconds to a minute
-
8 Replieslmao you suck, how much time do you need to get 3 kills with an infinite range, hitscan, one bodyshot kill weapon?
-
Which is why only true hunters use Gunslinger
-
1 ReplyThat's why hunter is the skill class
-
I love the gg and that's all I use I agree and disagree, if your playing with a team that pushes a spawn and you pop your gg, it's annoying and a waste as it runs out. I love the exotic mask idea but don't like the zoom. Should be able to not use the zoom on the exotic then I'm happy.

8 RepliesReasons why Golden Gun is on a short duration: 1. It can one shot ANY super in the game (Fist of Havoc included) 2. It is hitscan and ranged. (That means it shoots where you look and has range.) Hammer of Sol and Stormcaller are not hitscan. Hammers are a projectile and Stormcaller is a cone of damage. [spoiler]3. Hunters have cloaks. The cloak wears them down from it's heavy fiber which in turn, takes away from Golden Gun timer. This reason right here is about 90% of the problem.[/spoiler]

3 RepliesGolden Gun can instantly kill players across the map. Stormcaller and Hammer cannot. That's why the duration is short. Glad I can answer your question.
-
2 RepliesIt's a 1 hit kill super. Too OP if it gets a longer duration. You just have to be smart about when to use your Golden Gun.
-
2 RepliesThis is why ATS/8 Helmet exist. Let you zoom in with Golden Gun and increases the duration.

Stormcaller isn't an instant kill and sunbreakers titans can easily miss AND goldengun is the only super that can one shot every super -
2 RepliesIdk, I think it's fine, seeing as with over the horizon you can one shot people from almost anywhere. The fact that it's ranged and hitscan sets it quite apart from other roaming supers.
