[quote]Of course you know I never stopped loving them, but I've noticed a lot of people using auto rifles in strikes and patrols. The 2.0 weapon balancing has seemingly made it "cool" to use auto rifles again. So, is there an emerging favorite yet in the community- a new "Shadow Price", if you will? I like "An Answering Chord" (the Vanguard rifle), but I haven't yet got one with outstanding perks. Partial Refund is on the one I've upgraded; the rest of the perks make it worthwhile. But I think if I had to choose, I'd take the Deal Breaker with the Hakke thermal sight that I have on my Titan. The sight alone makes it a brilliant rifle, making target acquisition in both PvE and PvP a snap, but it also hits like a hammer and can nail precision shots at a surprising range. I don't have the stock model of either one, they both came as random drops. And it goes without saying that Suros Regime Mk. 2 is brilliant; the Spinning Up perk is amazing. So what's your favorite?[/quote] I like the crucible hakke rifle and the perks that come with it. It seems solid in PvP and PvE. The perks that I got on my answering chord that I got from finishing the story were very good, so I accended it to 290 light.
