Hard Light buff

Hello guys. Personally I think most of the news that Bungie have dropped about weapon tuning are great (I can really go back and use auto rifles again!). I always thought the Gally to be OP. When you go to look for teams to do raids or other stuff, everybody now just post: "need to have Gally".... And that is not cool for people who still don't have it, but have other weapons like Icebreaker, Hunger of Crota, Truth, Thunderlord.... Now, about Hard Light, I read that it is going to receive a buff in stability and on the bouncing bullets perk (forgot the name of that one). The problem is that perk is not very useful. I don't know if with the new buff it is going to be something that we can make it work in games, but what I know is there is another perk in Hard Light that could be buffed and it would make the weapon very handy: the Overpenetrate shields perk! What if Bungie could make as if the bullets from Hard Light could bypass elemental shields (not as a full elemental weapon, but doing more damage than a kinetic weapon normally does)? The Hard Light is one of the most beautiful weapons in the game, and I practically never see it get used. Doing that, people who have it could for example use it on Nightfall as a type of "Wild Card" weapon. You would not get the full bonus of using it a full elemental weapon for the corresponding shield, but could do a better damage than using it a kinetic or different element gun. What do you guys think?

  • Dude Hardlight stability is now 80 from 65 & the bullets are NOT EFFECTED by damage fall unlike the other weapons (those two alone will make me pull it back off the shelf)

    • I think what might make Hard Light special is they said it won't be impacted by damage drop off. I am not sure what that means but I think it implies only target acquisition is impacted by range but every shot landed will always be the full damage modifier. That alone could make it the premier auto rifle as it already has great stability and the field scout option if you are already an ace shot.

    • Make your own "Gjallarhorn not needed" posts under recruitment and stop complaining. If everybody of you would just stop sitting there and waiting to get picked up but instead take own actions we wouldn't have this discussion now.

    • That's a dumbass reason to nerf the premier rocket launcher. The auto buff might be ok, provided they don't totally cock it up and ruin their shooting characteristics like they did to fusion rifles. By the way, another round of fusion rifle nerfs shows me that the dev team doesn't even play the game. Those weapons needed a moderate buff to damage and ammo pickups, as well as a huge de-nerf of their range and accuracy. RNG is bad enough for a reward system, it should not affect our shooting too.

      • Hard light will already be borderline ridiculous after the taken king is released

      • So it is op when people post "must have gally." Your deduction skills surpass all others. Simple answer. Don’t join those groups. I only see maybe 1 out of 10 that will post it. And for Bungie to use this as their basis to do their nerf, shame on them. Bungie has a lot to do to keep a lot of people through year 2.

        • I like the sound of the gun when it shoots.
