Wormwood can outgun most primarys in their respective ranges
"Balance"
Also Cammy cakes did a video on this

Which reveals the problems with the way Bungie is trying to go aabout managing the sandbox. Sidearms were not designed to be used against primaires. They were designed to be used in a situation where you are taking on another player who is armed with either a fusion rifle or a shotgun. So it needs to kill quickly to be effective. They've only become a problem because the sandbox changes have largely pushed shotguns and fusion rifles out of the game. So now-----like an exploding rabbit population when people have killed off all the predators-----they sidearms no longer have those other special weapons to keep them in check. Which is why I"ve been screaming for two years now that what Bungie has been trying to do wasn't working...and is never GOING to work. Balance isn't a problem. How Bungie is stubbornly trying to go about achieving it, is.

If anything they are being generous to the last word.it has 10 range.it should start dropping of at 5m.
-
what i don't understand is why everyone seems to think there is a way to actually balance a 2.5 year old game, with millions of weapon/gear/perk combinations. its just not going to happen. this game is too far into its life span. on top of the seemingly infinite combination of weapon archetypes and perk combinations. as much as i would like to see something that resembles an honest effort, more so for the sake of D2, its just not going to happen. let it go.

I call bullshit that they retain ammo on death. If I lose everything with my special of choice why the hell should sidearms get the special treatment?
-
Make sidearms deal much less damage when shields are up. Then, they can be the intended weapon. Finish off someone after primary ammo is out.
-
I always liked the taken king myself
-
Saw this earlier. Bump
-
That's what happens when you let a degenerate with no thumbs balance the game. Dude needs to be fired
-
Where can I find patch notes? What did they do to TLW? I love that gun.

It's truly pathetic and I can't even take it anymore. Abyss Defiant can't compete with a Noisy Cricket. This crucible is THE WORST thing I've ever played. Been on my main account for two days cause I'm off work, and completing the book. Crucible is a fukin joke and anyone who says otherwise is out of their mind.

How is this not balanced, a shotgun I'd a 1hko and a sniper is a 1hko and s fushion depending on the impact is 6-4 beams but it's usually and instant, so im pretty sure s sidearm having a quick ttk is relatively balanced.
-
Its a special weapon. Its supposed to
-
Try using the oversoul edict
-
But isn't the point of a special weapon to be more effective than primaries, but only used in special circumstances?
-
Great video, thank you!
-
Reduce range and damage of wormwood archerype. The thing should be a pea shooter at medium ranges.
-
OMG....just let hand cannons die already! Bungie doesn't care about these pointless videos showing ghost bullets or damage drop off. They have people who are responsible for why the game plays the way it does. Quit beating a dead horse and move on.
-
been saying this for a long time. but any time I mention a tlw buff I get destroyed in comments lol
-
The game was at its most balanced before the 1.1.1 update that took auto rifles out of the game. Since then they've just kept making primaries worse and worse
-
Ya feck sidearms is the anus. It's a dick weapon that candy asses use.
-
To be honest, they need to bring Doctrine to where it was post spring update before they hit it for the last time. Handcannons are fine the way they are. Reason being is that they are too versatile. Believe it or not, despite all these changes, Handcannons are still coming out to be the most used primary. What they are trying to do with all these range changes is make hc's actually have a specified range. Mid range should be their best bet with the pulses. Long range should be only for snipers and scouts. Again, I am not a Bungie defender for accuracy should not be a thing on handcannons since they take an immense amount of skill using them already. Accuracy should only exist on autos, machine guns, and fusion rifles. Fusion rifle being their bolts spreading out which is why most of us use hip fire and icarus.
-
And sidearms have much more stability
-
They won't do anything, bungie and the forum community hate handcannon users..
-
The weapon that has endured more than any other and yet lives....TLW. The Last Word.
-
A Shotgun can outgun any Primary too. A Fusion can outgun any Primary too. And guess what...a Sniper can outgun any Primary too! Kill all the Specials!!
