  • It's interesting reading the comments. Most players are under the assumption that There Are Good Auto Rifles So Maybe They Dont Really Need A Buff. Auto rifles do need a buff. They have poor damage both in PvP and PvE. That is the point for this topic. If any 180 handcannon, or general pulse rifle, does really well regardless of perks then they can make auto rifles perform better.

    • ARs and Scouts both need a little love. ARs need a buff to non-precision damage. Plain and simple fix. Scouts on the other hand are in a tight spot. Bows are crowding their territory so they need to be made to feel more smooth and responsive. They can already be rather nasty in the right hands, but a little love would put them in a good spot.

      • The first few months of Destiny 3, that is when auto rifles will get some love. However, after the first few months, autos will be crippled and the same crappy cycle repeats itself yet again.

      • They need a buff to body shot damage, tbh.

        • The only thing that I think that needs a buff about them is damage falloff. Apart from that, they're in a pretty decent place. Just increase their range and they should be good.

        • Suros is still really viable, ringing nail, I've used to outgun not forgotten users numerous times. The 450 imo are fine. maybe this buff might be needed for 600s, though afaik, scathelock still melts pretty consistently. doubt too.

          I want the Regime to be good so badly. But it’s just not.

          • A couple auto rifles (SUROS, Uriel’s, etc.) aren’t terrible against mediocre players in rumble/quick play, but they get completely stomped by average/good players using meta. A slight damage buff would be nice.

          • Auto rifles aren’t [i]that[/i] bad. It’s just that we’ve had pretty much the same meta since forsaken and more people have gotten the meta weapons making auto rifles seem much worse.

            • Yeah, they do seem pretty mediocre in PvP. I tried using a number of different types, with moderate success. There just isn't a good reason to ever pick an auto rifle over the pulse rifles. Bygones and Blast Furnace alone outclass all of them in PvP.

              • They’re fine. Not being overpowered doesn’t equate to being bad.

              • CheekyKnuckShuff You make some valid points and i agree that eververse must be removed from this game but, Whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus Ta'aurc. From what I can gather, he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank just outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold

                • Destiny will never be balanced so autos will always be too strong or too weak.

                    • They were amazing in y1 by default. Because the other weapons were bad. And the meta oriented to teamshot. An autoriffle has too much inconvenient compared to other weapons : -cant jump or else you wont be able to hit anything -need to keep a perfect tracking -cant move that much when firing -cant peak and shoot Things that a handcanon can do easily without really losing that much ttk (or dont lose any) You are basically a sentry turret and an easy target. Autoriffles arent made for pvp thats all.. I would love to see them becoming the perfect pve weapon...but their dmg output in pve ise terrible. A simple redbar ennemy takes way too much % of the magazine to kill. Basically any good smg can do the job of a godroll AR.

                    • I seem to do fine when I use valakadyn. But I've got a god roll. A good halfdan can catch people off guard but still seems average. Precision frames just don't feel like they hold up like they used to.

                      • The mob wants shotguns and fusion rifles on small maps... the mob gets what they want... Bungie listened to the mob and now pvp is dead.
