It most assuredly needs several more nerfs.
Starting with Lone Wolf.
[b]Pulse rifles in general have been too strong for far too many months.

It's good you don't only see 340s anymore and I supported greater variety.
Game has slowed to a boring crawl of Redrix simulator.
Pulses themselves have completely outperformed every other primary for multiple sandboxes in terms of player choice and total collective kills. Doesn't matter the map, the class, or associated perks and abilities. The weapon type is free.
Edit
[spoiler] some suggest it's just one pulse. It's not.
It's not because of only one.
No time
Red Death
Messengers
Elsie's
Bygones
Graviton
Outbreak Prime
And now Redrix
A pulse has been meta for over a year in one form or the other. They have accumulated far more kills than any other primary.
I don't want a sub counter meta. Autos are boring. We just had a Khvostov summoner meta.
It's time for pulses to be universally reduced.
Not to have one class overtuned to compete[/spoiler]

Week after week Pulses collectively have more kills than anything else. People cherry pick individual guns and ignore the whole class. But now it is completely undeniable. Downvote all your want. Wear blinds. Nerf Lonewolf or take it off this pulse. Then nerf all pulses. 🙈🙉🙊 Redrix accounts for [b][u]25%[/u][/b] of all Trials kills at this point in the weekend. [u]Post nerf.[/u] Previously 17.8% [u]Khvostov ended week 178 with 24%[/u] Fools here are denying how broken it remains and only a few feel like debating them. I completely understand why.

15 RepliesThe irony of your post, when you pair Redrix with invisibility and Radiant Dance Machines. Lol.

Jet Set WillyIt’s all going concording to plan 😂🤣 - old
I think they could fix this by reverting the last couple of Graviton Lance nerfs. Then everyone can complain about that again. 😂 -
44 RepliesIn my opinion Redrix’s nerf is just: 👉 Body shot TTK is noticeably longer on hip fire… ADS body shot TTK is also longer… ADS head shot TTK is slightly longer too. Overall, this weapon is less forgiving now, but still very good as long you hit your head shots. 👉 Sword Logic (previously 20% PVP damage perk) was nerfed too, now it only give you 15% damage increase. That change is also noticeable during gunfights. As a result of these changes, Redrix’s usage in Trials went significantly down in comparison to last week: - Last weekend Redrix had 4 million kills !!! - Whereas this weekend only 1.4 million kills *although this weekend is not done yet*

Edited by Lord Araphel: 3/17/2025 10:06:04 PMWas never nerfed, 33.8 to 33.5 is still more or less the same and the handling nerf only hit the other pulses rather then the 1 problem pulse. It's still potent but should just be a flat 33 dmg without the extra bullets rounding it higher .5 adds up quick.

I agree. People complain so much whilst being carried. I’d love to see someone best flinch with a sniper.

10 RepliesUnfortunately Dance Machines and anything that hip fires is a bigger issue. Constant dodge gives constant radiant and several hip fire weapons that Bungie is slowly going through and nerfing its interactions with them. That said I’m not asking for Hunter mains to see nerfs but instead adding fun PvP builds that are just as broken for me to crutch on with my Warlock.

It’s obvious that bungLe wants the game to play like it does right now. No variety, no fun just lane with redrix and slide fusion.

Good, I get to be entertained some more by nerf posts trying to get back to compilation vids owning bot lobbies with there Not Forgotten or in this case Rose, but they can't do that with the bots owning them with a God tier pulse rifle roll shax handed out to everyone 😆 Keep it up nerf herders, I am enjoying the show 🤣🍿 -
3 RepliesI completely agree that pulses have been hard meta for a minute now but that doesn't mean they should all get nerfed because of only one. Once redrix gets the nerf it deserves I'm sure we'll be seeing more weapons pop up. Now I'm not saying that we should stay in a pulse meta because it is annoying af, but I don't think nerfing them all to the ground would be a good idea.

7 RepliesThe problem is not with all pulse rifles, but only with one, don't be dramatic. P.S.: PvP is still dominated by hand cannons.

5 RepliesPVP posts in a nutshell: I don’t like it, therefore it is bad, therefore Bungie must change it. I do like it, therefore this is the way it should be, for everyone, Bungie: make it happens.

11 RepliesEdited by Detective Salsa: 3/16/2025 5:28:26 PMStop crying and pick up a sniper. Hand cannons have been the top choice since D1 Pally until recently. You never see ANY of theses clowns begging for nerfs to them lol
-
10 RepliesHey, uh... I hate to break it to you, but your edit kinda falls on its face, when handcannons were meta for not just a year but multiple years, and it's a meta that PvP's regularly fallen back into. It also even goes as far back as the first game, where they were top dog for the majority of the games lifespan, outside of a few outliers that found themselves stamped out.

1 ReplyI’m actually really against nerfing something to the point it can’t compete. Some people struggle to play with higher skill ceiling weapons but pulses do need a few little nerfs. Probably a slight range and AA reduction, possibly ADS time too. You’ve mentioned a few other pulses as problematic but I’m not sure they are as bad as you say. Redrix is, though.

19 RepliesIt's this seasons comp weapon, why in the world would they destroy the reason for casuals to populate comp for 3 to 9 matches a week, with about 12 weeks to still play in the season barring no DLC delay.. It did not need a handling nerf, it needed a stability and range nerf, Sword logic got hit ok want a better perc, go get kill clip it's stronger, go play comp. Dead gun and casuals don't populate comp. It will die in the sandbox update for Frontiers

1 ReplyEdited by Dr Livingston 9: 3/16/2025 1:56:38 PMA redrix beat my last word up close. I am not a new last word user with a over 1200 kills with my last word .If that does not tell you how over powered it is nothing will. All pulses need to be nerfed because it's been meta too long. The problem is they are good up close and far away
