Loaded Question is garbage

I finally got loaded question last night (40 strikes? really? i was done with the other two objectives at 20) and I am extremely disappointed with what's supposed to be a "pinnacle" weapon for the Vanguard. The main perk requires a full magazine to be in effect, and for some dumb reason this FR has a massive magazine size of 7. That means you literally need to have at minimum 7 shots left in reserve in order for the perk to even have an effect. Less than 7 shots? The perk might as well not even exist. You might as well be using a rare FR. That freaking sucks and there's no kind way to put it. And even when the perk can be activated, it's not very good. I appreciate the 30% extra damage, but that's for one shot, after which you either have to reload your gun, or put it away and let auto-loading holster take effect. The gameplay of this gun is literally built around not using it. Who pulls out a fusion rifle to fire one shot and then put it away? And the explosion damage is absolutely pathetic for what it requires. From what I can tell it's basically the same damage/radius as a dragonfly explosion. So tell me why I should take the time to swap to my special, charge up a very slow charging fusion, fire off a burst and hope it actually kills (but only when I have at least 7 shots left), to get the same kind of effect that I could have gotten just from shooting the enemy in the head with a hand cannon that has firefly? It's such a waste of time and effort for such little reward (much like the quest in general). And frankly, super slow charging fusion rifles are not very good in Destiny 2. I used to like them in D1, but ever since the December after TTK the recoil on fusions has made these types much more difficult to use because a burst that doesn't land perfectly is significantly more punishing to the user. And in general enemies in D2 move so much faster than they did in D1. They are constantly dancing back and forth at ridiculous speeds and that makes such a slow charging fusion a real pain in the ass to use. I suggest at minimum adding backup plan so that taking advantage of the perk feels less like a chore, and honestly the magazine size needs to be reduced to 3 so that you don't have to have so much ammo in reserve for it to take effect. EDIT: Some of y’all clowns don’t seem to understand that just because a weapon is usable doesn’t mean it’s worth using.

  • The luna burst is my go to strat for gambit and gambit prime it won’t work after shadowkeep but it bursts down primeval bosses like no tomorrow and the ammo isn’t as hard to come by as heavy is. Gotten over half the primeval damage most games I used it. From last season there has been a 70% buff on the loaded question damage that’s including burst but not including other damage buffs like melting point or tether. Exotics got a considerably smaller buff to lengendaries 40% but even after neef of lunas and rally you can still alternate between a auto load swarm and spikes so it still works it’s a dps king

  • Loaded question works great. You do realize that if you switch guns and go back to loaded, the perk kicks in.

  • The gun sucks simple. But it is beyond me how people are actually defending this trash gun. "Oh you get that one shot that deals extra damage re re re". Oh wow the first shot of a fully loaded magazine deals 30% more damage. You know what else works but better ? Kill clip fully stacked rampage and look at that Main Ingredient has a option for both of them. Loaded question perk only works when you load in a full magazine so no full mag no bonus damage. Kill and reload with kill clip her 3 seconds of a damage boost and depending on the charge time you can get 2 or 3 shots off and best part you don't even need a full magazine just a kill and reload. So basically it is 1 powered up shot VS 3 powered up shots

      • This is noting............try Redrix Broadsword 40 strikes is painless compared to the Broadsword quest. Once you spend an small eternity to get this gun and you wind up with a shitty 340 pulse rifle that gets out gunned by every 450 RPM pulse in the game. There are only 2 pinnacle weapons in the game worth getting. LH/NF. The rest are utter crap for the time invested.

            • It's by far the best PvE legendary fusion rifle in the game. And one of the best PvE energy weapons in general. Nothing else does what it does, outside of Telesto and Jotunn, both of which are exotic.

              PVE: I'll take my 21 rounds Telesto (with armor mods) and raise your Loaded Question - lol. If you sweep your shot at the right moment it will kill multiple enemies, much like Loaded Question. Downside of Telesto is that it is an exotic - I wish we had a legendary version like we do with Hammerhead/Thunderloard. It would be interesting the see the DPS comparison between these two weapons. Loaded Question is OK - auto loading holster is a must + major spec. If you are a run and gunner I would suggest the YR 1 Timeless Vertex over Loaded Question. For PVE: Telesto + Hammerhead are my frequent paring. In gambit sometimes I switch to combo of Timeless Vertex (YR 1) and Tractor Cannon. Different Strokes for different folks is a good thing.

              • Good the way it is. I put a major spec on it and it's good to use that one shot, put it away and use something else and then pull it back out. Get yourself some Fusion scavengers and reserves.

              • Use it like Fighting Lion and you'll make the most of the bonus shot. Or just use Merciless instead.

              • Then dont use it mate, I have loaded question and I think its amazing for a fusion rifle. Fusions aren't for everyone unfortunately. If they were to improve upon loaded question, get rid of auto loading and put rampage on and then that baby would be the best fusion rifle in the game but I'm sure they dont want that to be the case

              • #Useyourprimary Titans have Barricades and Warlocks have Lunafactions. Hunters have... a weird spin move. Point being, if you’re not just throwing fusion shots at every Thrall you see, it’s a beast and the slower charge rate is honestly not even an issue if used right. I use mostly Ace of Spades in the primary slot. Pew pew here pew pew there, everything blows up. I get overwhelmed? Swap to Loaded. Blow some punks up. Back to Ace. Rinse repeat. It’s an ad clearing monster. And for bosses? Use those Luna’s or Barricades I mentioned. You can get a good stun lock going on just about any Boss. Maybe it doesn’t fit your personal play style but don’t rush to say it’s a bad gun. Experiment with it. Also don’t ever compare it to dragonfly. That thing eats dragonfly for breakfast 😂
