The back story to Red Death looking like an auto rifle is that is was an auto rifle until Bungie decided that there wasnt enough exotic pulse rifles.

Edited by JTRANK THE TANK: 11/4/2015 1:12:36 PMI think it was probably that for a few as well as a partial nerf pre release. If you kept the exotic perk and matched it to what the gun really looks like there are a few pretty scary combinations. Red death looks like an Auto rifle, now imagine a year 1 pre nerf autorfile with decent impact and medium stability that fully heals you every kill. How about suros which to me looks like a unique design pulse rifle. increased DPS while aiming, and glass half full with the chance of healing you. I bet something like that would have been 1 shotting people and even more of a nightmare than the year 1 suros auto rifle pre nerf. Bad juju. clearly a scout rifle, but with full auto, faster super charge, and ammo refilled every kill you have a year 1 touch of malice with no health penalty. Hard light looks like a pulse rifle but I think it was only changed because it needed to be displaced so that there werent too many pulse rifles. Same goes for monty carlo.

That, or Bob in graphic design read his email wrong, and skinned Red Death as an auto rifle instead of a pulse so Bungie just said -blam!- it, and left it.
