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.

  • I'd like to assume there's other players that use different weapons for different strats & such. I can't use the same weapon for every kind of strategy. But the weapon I use the most is bad juju. if I'm rushing I use The Last Word. If I'm going up against 3 Thorns I use The Ram & a Thorn. the DOT is essentially incomparable. especially if the enemy is team shotting. It's vicious. I pretty much just whip out thorn when it's time to really get BUSY. it's undeniable that I do best while using it. My accuracy is true, I can pop those 2 headshots quick...I almost always get the double shot kill. but the thing is, I don't actually ENJOY playing w. Thorn like I do other weapons. I enjoy using the Mythoclast. it's damage is high, but it is NOT easy to use. Its bullet-travel-time is a bit ridiculous at times, & without Send It seems almost unusable to me. If an enemy is doing anything besides standing still or running directly at you, accurate headshots are not an easy feat w. The vex. I love using it, but it's not reliable enough for me. & at the further end of mid range you're getting destroyed by pretty much everything... Bad juju is just my favorite thing to use. Have always loved 3 round burst weapons, since my days on CoD tournaments. 3 round burst weapons have just always been my go-to. I love them. Bad juju is great for me in trials, as it allows my super to charge 2-4 times in a match. I don't have to be as reserved w. My self Res. & if using nova Bomb, it's over, although I tend not to throw them out there for no reason really.
