This is only for those who have made it to the lighthouse. I'm curious as to what weapon you chose for your primary. This is an experiment I'm running, and I need the feedback of the top players. Please bump to keep votes coming.
Hypothesis: the best PvP players (those who made it to the lighthouse) will have collectively used a variety of weapons. The majority will not be skewed towards thorn or the last word or the usual weapons that people find to be OP.
Well at this point, it seems my hypothesis has failed to hold up. 45% of players use thorn or the last word, as opposed to every other weapon in the game. Not to mention the 8% with Vex, which I think is [b]FAR[/b] more OP than Thorn or TLW (I just run away when I see someone with vex. I'm surprised at the lack of MIDAs really. It wasn't until I switch from Thorn to the MIDA that I started having a positive K/D. It allows you to easily sidestep those dangerous thorn headshots, and force them into settling on body shots, and by that time they've ready been outgunned.

1 ReplyI got in twice last week and used thorn because I'm not an idiot and that's the pvp meta right now. If hawkmoon would ever drop I would use it because I like actual handcannons.

Last week was super annoying so i decided to play like a complete asshat, and went with thorn, and effrideets final round. Not proud. But whatever. Wanted etheric light and a void primary.

Switched from thorn to Hawkmoon and i had more success (not a lot though). I just like Hawmoon better I think.

1 ReplyLast week Vex and this week Thorn. Also alternating between some legendaries like Word of Crota. Having fun with The Summoner in Control, but even though I get positive scores with it I´m not comfortable enough with it to use it in Trials. I would love to get my hands on The Messenger or MIDA...but don´t have them sadly (I know there have been enough chances to pick them up. College is keeping me busy though)

Mainly vision of confluence

Combination of hawkmoon, last word, vex and red death. I switch depending on what the enemies are using.

Interesting, half of the people that got into LH used thorn lmao.

Hypothesis: trolls won't come in here and vote thorn to skew your results because they are butthurt.

I use thorn or TLW and found verdict or longbow. Radagasts for heavy

Me and my team ran 2 hawkmoons with shottys and a vex with a sniper this week we went with ultra rush and it got us 9/0

I use the default Three Little Words the Crucible vendor sold, the MIDA Multi-Tool, and the Scholar depending on what character I use. I feel Bungie is going to keep hitting our weapons with more balancing until they feel they get it right. For this reason I'm avoiding relying heavily on the most used exotic primaries.

Using the weapon that you're most comfortable with is the most important thing in my opinion. For me, that happened to be Vex. I'm not too good with Thorn.

Bump for more responses

The Scholar (adept)
