Please buff Zen Meteor.
The Zen meteor is probably on of the least used weapons in Destiny. "Why?" you may ask. Well, the question really is HOW do you use it effectively. It is a high impact sniper with explosive, which implies a use for boss damage. However, it's exotic perk has you focus on ads. Keep in mind that this is a sniper.
Now tell me, when do you snipe ads? Never, as it takes too long and wastes ammo that could be used against high level enemies or a boss.
So, this weapon is all over the place. It makes you want to use it for a boss, yet it grips you by the balls and makes you aim at that group of thrall.
Bungie, if you changed to three precision shots and make it work like triple tap, this weapon would not only be amazing, but fun. If you changed that, it MIGHT be able to even dethrone the Great and Glorious King Spindle for DPS.
I know many might disagree with me, and I respect your opinion. But, let's be real here. For all those who say the ZM is an ad weapon, it is far from it. A sniper is for bosses, and killing dregs is a waste to your damage potential. Also, it would take forever to clear ads with a sniper. This is why we have primaries. Also, I know Zen Meteor is just a weapon to have fun with, but I do wish it could be viable for Raids and Nightfalls. Wouldn't it be fun to use against Vosik or Golgoroth?

8 RepliesXbox player here with good understanding of dps statstics. That gun should be used on golgoroth for someone doesn't have a 1k stare or black spindle. The high dps alone is necessary for him as well as aksis between challenge mode requirements. High impact snipers are a 100 percent must in destiny. The basis of rapid medium range snipers is for crucible.

I play on Xbox :)
-
I've had the same opinion but with three hits in general. I'm game for it to actually be usefull and not a lint trap
-
King Spindle? Lol.
-
They need to make the damage of the bonus shot pack a lot more punch. Have it do 5x damage. This would make it super fun to shoot 3 adds, then crit the boss.
-
2 RepliesBuff for PvE. I agree. You'd have to lower the aim assist if you buffed it for PvE to make up for it in PVP. It's a very easy sniper for PVP.
-
The problem in a raid environment is a large amount of encounters require straight DPS without dealing with adds which is not where the Meteor shines. The Meteor actually shines in activities like Prison of Elders where you have to juggle between damage and adds. Unfortunately not every encounter has this mechanic involed. I would like to see the bonus bullet last longer and deal more damage but it still would have the same problem that it currently has. It's just the weapon's design (although fun and unique) is suited for special scenarios.
-
1 ReplyIt can be decent gun when I get to use it. Yes I'm salty.
-
Actually agree. I use it every now and then because it's gorgeous and like the explosive round . Would work a lot better like you said if it were crits instead. Or maybe just hold trigger for the explosive shot which would consume 3 rounds.
-
Edited by Droid: 4/20/2017 4:02:28 AMJust because it's high impact does not imply it's supposed to be used for dps..... The perks imply what the weapon is used for. And it's obviously add killing. I like your enthusiasm though. Would be a nice dps weapon. There's no real reason to use it currently. Most exotics fall in the "unused" section though.
-
its an amazing pvp sniper >:)
-
3 RepliesI agree. It really should be precision [u]shots[/u] rather than precision kills to activate the perk, kind of like the Jade Rabbit.
-
Edited by PvtBadass98: 4/19/2017 12:48:22 PMI am sorry but it just won't happen. Why? Cause back in year 1, when hawkmoon was PlayStation exclusive, it was one of the best guns in the game if not the best. What happened? Xbox players got salty that they couldn't use it and when they could it was a shadow of its former self. Naturally this created a lot of salt and bitterness. I can only assume bungie haven't buffed it (same with jade rabbit) cause they are trying to avoid that kind of situation again. It looks like this exclusive deal hurts PlayStation players too.

Edited by RavenousLD3341: 4/19/2017 5:30:02 PMThe exotic perk is cool, but stupid as hell. The few times i have triggered it, It runs out before I find something to -blam!-ing shoot with the extra damage bullet. remove the timer, and make it precision hits. If high damage bullet gets a kill, reload the magazine.
-
It's more based on killing groups of enemies with few shots. The intended purpose is for you to kill three ads via heads shots then using the dynamite round to kill or do a lot of damage to a higher level enemy.

Edited by Nate: 4/19/2017 3:33:26 PM[quote]"HOW do you use it effectively"[/quote] You don't
-
On its own Zen Meteor is a helluva sniper rifle. With a Laser Beam adds a very interesting mechanic to the situation and it's really about finding that opportunity to make the most of its featured perk. Changing that perk to behave like Triple Tap would make it too easy. It's meant to reward forward thinking and focus under fire. You have to be opportunistic to unleash its full potential and that's what I appreciate about it.
-
Edited by The Saiyan Prince: 4/19/2017 1:23:24 PMI like your idea i doubt they will do it ,or they could make a new sniper with that perk but its most likely due it being intended to kill ads its like saying buff patience and time which imo doesnt need one its perks are good but not meant for everyone .[spoiler] however it can be utilized if one wants to like in year 1 how use that pt sniper to turn invisble to dismantle mines lol good times [/spoiler]

Cozmo is being summoned. Chant with me! COZMO! COZMO! COZMO!
-
Please buff it to xbox ;)
-
2 RepliesI have to disagree for three reasons 1, it's aim assist is so high ( 80% ) that makes it very good sniper even in PVP 2, zen meteor don't belong to any sniper family and that make it God roll [spoiler] zen is [u]mid[/u] rate of fire and [u]high[/u] impact Event horizon is [u]slow[/u] rate of fire and [u] high[/u] impact LDR is [u]mid[/u] rate of fire and [u]mid[/u] impact [/spoiler] 3, explosions rounds and triple tap kinda of perks don't work good together
-
Bungie logic=nerf then buff on sept 5th.
-
Yep good idea... coz at the moment "Zen meteor=shard"
-
Make it happen bungie +1 . Also buff patience and time and hereafter while your at it
-
Love the idea. Love everything about it. Want to see it happen
-
Agreed!!
