Should I get Hard Light?
I have the Bad JuJu bounty, and I've been saving up for something good. Should I get the hard light or wait for something like Invective or Plan C? I'd really hate to see something like that come around the week after I spent all my coins.
EDIT: Thanks for the 20+ replies, I think I'm actually going to pass on Hard Light.

1 ReplyFor those of you saying it's the first time he's sold Hard Light, it's not, it's the second calm down. Also that isn't a reason to buy it. The real reason to buy it is that coins are easy to come by, so you should buy anything you can from Xûr, get a better collection, choose the guns you want to level up, and have fun. It's kinda like pokemon in a sense.
-
If your low in coins wait, the gun is not that great imo.
-
Did you get it ? I had it drop , leveled it up , and my old VOC is still a better primary and saves the exotic slot for icebreaker or patience and time . If you have the coins, I guess get one. It looks and sounds cool, but the perk ( hard light ) is almost useless . Cool looking though .
-
If your low on coins don't get it. But otherwise buy it and put it in your vault. They will rework Hard Light eventually.

Id say get it not only because this is Xur's first time selling it, but you never know when the ARs will be retuned. I'm sure they will be because weapons are always being retuned especially with the outcry. While that update may not happen just yet, it will. As far as performance, before the pulse rifle buff, people were iffy about the Bad Juju, Red Death, and any other pulse rifle. It's amazing how a 9% increase in dmg across the board in a category can make the difference in a loadout. Imo, the Hard Light is a good AR. It's got full stability or you can go with more bullets(field scout). With higher stability, you won't require as many bullets because most will strike your target. As with all weapons, you have to know the range. I can't speak for everyone but I know the reason most people don't like it is because it's not an "across the map" weapon. ARs are not supposed to be that anyway. Because it's generally the most popular weapon in an fps as far as primaries goes, it's given an increased range as the norm.

As long as it's hard, you should get it.

Think of exotics like Pokemon, start collecting now coins are easy to come by. Even more so now with weekly mm.

Edited by donovindawson111: 3/20/2015 2:50:44 PMYou can't buy invective so that doesn't affect anything, plan C is cool to have as part of your collection but mine just collects dust....buy hard light now, because it's not a common drop for exotics and when Bungie buffs the auto rifles again you will be kicking yourself for not spending your make believe money
-
First time Xur sold it ever. Fun gun to use and was my primary weapon in Iron Banner before the pulse rifle buff.
-
Considering this is the only time Xur has sold it I would say get it, but then I am just a random person. Don't let me tell you how to play your game.
-
He can't sell invective. Buy hard light..
-
Hard light sucks. Go Bad JuJu!
-
1 ReplyHow many coins do you currently have? I've had the old hardlight (max damage of 300) and the new one and I've barely used it, but I'm also not an auto rifle person. I prefer to use hand cannons and scout rifles since they deal more damage. If you're an auto rifle user though and looking for a fun one to use then I'd say go for it, but if you don't care for auto rifles much I'd say pass (especially if you already have SUROS).
-
Hardlights bullets look awesome but damage and stability are kind of a let down... To me it's not worth buying or upgrading unless they buff it and make the stability better
-
Invective is a bounty exotic only. PlanC is decent Hardlight was ruined with the AR nerf.
-
Invective is a bounty gun. He doesn't sell those ever.
-
Only if you wanna collect guns.
-
If you got coins to spare I say buy it but know this it used to be an ok AR now after the NERF it got hit hard so basically most AR are better. It's a pass if you're not a collector.
-
I have Hardlight. Collector then get it. Bored then get it. It's a game you bought so get it. Is it good right now, subjective. I don't use it anymore. Lol. My thoughts.
-
It's rare, but not amazing.
-
More of a get than a pass.

1 ReplyBahaha

Only of you are swimming in coins
-
It's cool looking, good sounding fun gun to bad it doesn't perform the best, I like using it for patrols. Running the weeklies again next week you should have enough coins for something else.
-
2 RepliesAre you a collectionist? Are you on a budget? With the auto rifle nerf the gun isn't very good now. But if you want it for the sake of having it then get it cause from what I read in the forums it's hard to come by. Should have figured it was being sold. I saw three of them drop in iron banner Tuesday.
-
Just FYI he doesn't sell Invective - That's a bounty exotic, just like Bad JuJu
