Pulse Rifles are really unsatisfying.
Since they tweaked Pulse Rifles so that we'd all use them I have tried really hard to enjoy the Pulse Rifle experience, but honestly, is just a wholly unsatisfying gun to play with.
Even if it *does* do damage, it feels like it doesn't. I can't explain why - it just feels ...underwhelming.
Every other gun in the game feels good to use - Hawkmoon, TLW, Vanquisher, Suros, Fang... All feel great to use, but jeesus I can't think of any other weapon in Destiny that is less fun than Pulse Rifles.
The only PR that feels okay, is Bad Juju, which in itself is a great weapon for PVE (but seriously, holster it for any Major or Boss fight) but STILL feels like a peashooter.

2 RepliesSuros feels like a pellet gun, and always has. Not sure how you can compare that to RD or 3LW.

1 ReplyI agree. I stick to handcannon's but I've tried red death and bad juju and it's not satisfying it use them. I sometimes still opt for using auto rifles sometimes because even though they are nerfed they still give that satisfying kick that pulse rifles will never give. I'd rather use Atheon's epilogue over red death. COME AT ME!!

It just doesn't feel powerful/satisfying when using them. It just feels meh at best.

Its probably because each number that pops up is underwhelming. I am used to a 600-1000 dmg number (if not higher) popping up for each handcannon hit vs a PR which has a lower number but it hits 3 times so you have to multiply your number by three to get your actual dmg value. It usually ends up being fairly similar to the handcannon dmg number it just takes the full 3 burst shot to get there. In some instances....especially PVP its actually higher. Red death 3 round burst HS does 105 dmg vs the hawkmoons normal 94 dmg.

1 ReplyIt's the sound and impact. The sound is like you're farting peas at the enemy. The impact is not great. Bad JuJu is the only pulse rifle I use that actually [i]feels[/i] like it has a good punch.

1 ReplyUgh. I hated the way Suros felt and sounded. That's the reason I stopped using it months ago, prior to the nerfs. Pulse Rifles remind me of the BR in Halo, so I've always wanted to like them. Bad Juju is definitely a good one, so is The Strangers Rifle, actually. It helps, and I can't explain this, but to me, it's always felt like I'm literally [b]drilling[/b] into their head with the burst. I've always mentally equated it with a power drill to the dome. I don't know why. I don't know where this idea came from, but that's how I've felt since Halo 2.

I have noticed this. I use oversoul edict all the time in pve and never notice it but I take a pr into crucible and there's something about the rumble in the controller that makes it feel like I'm not doing anything. I switched to mida and don't look back after I got my first 4.5 kd with it.

everyone thinks im crazy when i say this.

Bad Juju is what got me to like pulse rifles. Once you unlock its signature perk it's the most fun gun in the game. It's full auto and never reloads plus it gives you more supers.
-
I rly only use two. Bad juju and over soul edict. Both being full auto. I can't stand red death. Now that feels like a pea shooter.
