Red Death Needs a Stability/Range Buff
Title says it all. Red Death kinda sucks now, can't hit much and does no damage at range. Buff it, maybe?
-
2 RepliesIt needs range and damage increase to 34 per crit.

1 ReplyAll this talk makes me excited as a Bad Juju fanboy. I LOVED the matches of Red Death vs Juju in HoW. I can't wait to get back into it.
-
7 RepliesRed death will be fine in the next patch IMO. It doesn't need more stability simply because of it's sight. The HP regen on each kill is extremely strong already. The rate of fire buff will help a lot.
-
1 ReplyFor the last time. Red death is NOT getting a buff on Tuesday, unless it's an exotic change that has not been mentioned. Red death is not in the archtype getting the rof increase.
-
1 ReplyThe reason it sucks is because it's archetype sucks. The whole archetype needs a buff
-
3 Replies"Vanguard policy urges Guardians to destroy this weapon on sight." Couldn't be more right. Destroyed for weapon parts and exotic shard, since it's game value is lame.

1 Replyred death is my favorite gun but it definately needs either a buff to RoF or impact.
-
5 RepliesDid u not see the rate of fire increase coming to this archtype of pulse??? Red death is a beast but in a clever dragon malok meta it sucks. Next tuesday this gun is going to be in the meta again just u wait
-
Red death got a nerf to its exotic perk in this patch :(
-
Year one and two Red Death got a lot of love from me especially in raids. Took it into Wrath of the Machine... it just takes too long to clear out the adds now.
-
I actually got killed by a Red Death recently. lol. It was sure good to see someone out there using it.
-
Sadly it's never gonna get buffed
-
8 RepliesRed Death should be changed to have the RoF/Impact of the spare change archetype. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that's the only primary archetype that lacks an exotic.
-
2 RepliesMaybe - I would like to see each bullet landed give back a small sliver of life. Then on kill a *little* more life back. That would be epic and not ruin crucible also. Every kill gaining full life - whilst having perfect accuracy is a crucible game breaker.
-
I agree. Red Death is either my favorite or second favorite weapon in the game, and everytime I pull it out in the crucible, I feel like it is holding me back these days. With Aggressive Ballistics, it used to be very strong. The easy recoil pattern made up for its low stability; but with the nerf to Aggressive Ballistics (bigger reduction to range) and the ease of maxing out stability while still having decent bullet grouping and damage fall off with modern pulse rifles (PDX-45, Clever Dragon, Grasp of Malok), Red Death just isn't as competitive in pulse rifle range. Not to mention it has a significantly slower ttk! Its actually pretty crazy to me that the fastest ROF pulse rifles are so accurate and stable while still killing as fast as they do. TLDR: yeah, buff please.
-
Agree
-
Nah damage buff to all mid impact pulses (red death, nirwins mercy)
-
Definitely needs better range. You'd expect a heavy-hitting gun to work better at a distance, wouldn't you?
-
Disagree I needs a buff but not that way it needs to go back to the low for high impact archetype I know they are in a bad spot but if their damage gets buffed red death will be really good again
-
Red Death needs to have reactive reload on it. Would go perfect with it's exotic perk, and just give it unflinching as an intrinsic perk.
-
Agreed. The clever dragon nerf helps a bit but really all the red death lacks is a bit of range. It won't even be op. It would becomes unique and usable.
-
1 ReplyBungie made it so that hard hitting pulse riffles like spare change do more damage. That's good, but I don't find the point of increasing rate if fire on them... the high impact pulse riffles will 2 burst kill a target while almost having the same rate of fire as red death. I don't know how that will work out, but oh well :P
-
It's quite good for some chill pvp rounds. I enjoy using it from time to time but that's pretty much it. Things will get interesting on tuesday.
-
it will became good again after HROF Pulses will get nerfed. it will be more worth using red death soon-
-
It needs a massive range buff definitely
