All you haters out there got Ikellos nerfed. Now the energy slot has one less option.
Are you proud of yourselves?
What do you want to destroy next?

As someone who didn't want to see if nerfed, it's not horrible to the game. It's STILL the best option for melting.... it just adds a bit of variety to the energy slot. There were times I couldn't get a melee off, and just needed to spam shots and it still did work. Trench Barrel was just the icing on the cake, so it's not a horrible nerf. They could have made it a box breathing nerf where only 1 bullet will work.

1 Reply"One less option".. Let's be real, with the overwhelming damage gap the Ikelos shotgun presented, it was the [i]only[/i] option. At least now people might consider using something else for once, and not have that weapon exclusively stuck to their hands.

4 Replies[quote]Now the energy slot has one less option.[/quote] Quite the opposite actually...

Still works just as good IMO

Edited by Wizburr: 11/29/2018 5:05:11 PMI’m happy. Gambit matches don’t feel one sided for me any more. In fact it probably opened more energy options than it lost.
-
Can I have my void Ikelos back now then?
-
Literally nobody hated the Ikelos-weapons, literally not a single player. Bungie's decision. So get over it.
-
4 RepliesIt got nerfed because more shotguns will have the trench barrel perk and bungie doesn't like us having fun

13 RepliesLuna's Howl is next on the list. Haters gonna hate....

5 RepliesThere were no ikelos haters. I've never seen a single complaint about ikelos other than it being a pain in the ass to get from escalation protocol

3 RepliesI have never seen a post hating on that shotgun. Ever.

3 RepliesI never saw even one nerf whining post for IKELOS. Bungie nerfed it because it was so superior to other shotties (in PvE anyway) you either used it and nothing else, or you didn't have it; it was the Gjallarhorn of shotguns. Note also that other guns are getting the reduced power trench barrel, which constitutes a buff. We might soon have a void or arc shottie that does what the IKELOS does.

Edited by killa beaver: 11/29/2018 4:41:48 PMIt’s still the best shotgun, and one of the best energy weapons in the game, now other things at least have a chance to compete against it, i still use it to to take out majors and such with 3 shots, where other full auto shorts take 4-5

Edited by TheWagn: 11/29/2018 4:36:49 PMYes I'm happy that I'm not nerfing myself by using other energy weapons. Thanks. I thought the nerf would be worse but this is a good compromise. I love my EP shotty and still love it.

8 RepliesLol no. It got nerfed because bungie chose to nerf it on their own accord. You think they weren't watching you kids for 2 whole seasons, leaning on that damn gun like your lives depended on it? It got nerfed because you kids couldn't put it down for 5 seconds 😂

Explain
-
Not at all. Now the energy slot has many many more options. Before the nerf, Ikelos was basically the only thing to use in PvE and Gambit. Now it's been nerfed, it's still very good but it opens the door for other option for players to use.
-
I don’t think what they did was good enough. The Ikelos Shotgun and Sniper Rifle need to be redesigned from the ground up.
-
It’s still pretty good
-
You mean now the energy slot has more options.
-
If you can’t live without the shotgun, you shouldn’t have had it to begin with
-
If you think that that weapon is still not the best option in the energy slot currently, I don't know what to tell you.
-
Edited by K1LLFACE: 11/29/2018 4:09:20 PMThe gun still works just fine and I don't plan on using much over it if anything. I don't recall many people asking for nerfs with this weapon as it wasn't a problem in PVP, this was all Bungie.
-
"Trench Barrel was tuned down, so Ikelos SG is useless now." How sad.

28 RepliesEdited by WormChi: 11/29/2018 3:42:38 PMPve is really running this game. All these pve crybabies got all the good guns nerfed for pvp. It’s a shame really. Bungie stop catering to the hardcore raid players and leave the weapons alone for us pvp players. If you listen to all the pve players they will get all the good weapons nerfed! Edit: the fish are bighting today boys! Throw your bait in while the waters are still warm.
