The biggest reason they are so bad is because their body shot damage is terrible compared to D1

Tbh that would make them overpowered. Especially weapons like cerberus

What no way lol, you realize body shot damage wast left the same as year 1 destiny 2 right? The reason destiny 1 auto rifles are viable is because their body shot damage is higher lol. When bungie reduced ttk for auto rifles they only made headshots perform better. They made headshots hit as hard as destiny 1 but left body shot the same which is where the real problem is.

Autos weren't viable though. Hand canons had them beat at almost AL times in destiny. Tbh i don't even know if they were truly viable in the first few months when destiny came out. They were popular yes but I attribute that to most people being new to the game and not familiar with movement or how aiming with more precise weapons worked

They also don't handle the best.
