There is no weapon blance in PVP any more. Pulse rifles kill from the longest distance with low range stats. Hand Cannons and auto rifle have about the same distance max damage as shotguns now days and its just not fun anymore. Does anyone else feel this way?
I am a day one player.

I've been using pulse rifles for months....many months. This is as close to balanced that I have seen...except for hand cannons. They need their balls back.

nerfing thorn and shotguns has brought me to crucible.

Get a pulse rifle, use it till people like you crying in the forums get them nerfed, then use the next best option till people like you crying in the forums get that one nerfed, rinse and repeat

1 ReplyReally? Pulse Rifles were the final straw? You made it through the Lag, the Shot guns, the 1000K Stare, the Lag, and the Shot guns and it was the Pulse Rifles you could not deal with? Man who saw that coming?
-
Agreed
-
More balanced than it ever has been
-
We're you around when it was just thorn and TLW? Now yeah pulses are the meta but lots of different pulses at least. I think they need a range nerf as they're too close to scouts in that respect with autos and hand cannons needing a stability buff

15 RepliesAnymore?!?! It's more balanced now than it ever was before

Haha what do you mean "anymore"?!

Bungie has already stated that they are ok with one type of gun being the best and forming a meta. They said every gun type will have its time. I think it would be easy enough the bump HC range and accuracy a bit and buff AR range to bring things into balance. Bungie doesn't want true balance though, they want you to change your style constantly.

Since I use either pulse or scout rifles in pve and pve... no, I don't feel this way

My only problems are hand cannons are almost unusable and they still can't fix the shotgun problem. People shouldn't be able to run around with shotgun ammo all damn game. I think it should drop like heavy ammo

5 RepliesI'm sorry - weapon balance is better than ever, with the exception of hand cannons and AR's needing some love from the team. Just the fact that people are griping about an entire primary type instead of "Thorn," "Suros," or "Felwinter's" is testimony that Crucible is no longer one-gun-only.

Edited by HauntedHeadShots: 11/13/2015 5:19:34 PMI have a couple pulse rifles. I don't like to play with them. The vex days were the worse. I love scout rifle but I am now being beat out at a distance with pulse rifles.
-
But there's a lot more pulse rifles out there than just one or two of each weapon type. I can name at least 5 pulse rifles are solid in pvp. Red death, nirwins, juju, hawksaw, pdx45, villany, reflection sum, and the list goes on. Hand cannons were stuck with last word, thorn, and depending on console, hawkmoon. So many choices on perks, fire rates, impacts, etc. I agree they have a bit too much range but that's really the only gripe.

Must be nice to forget the thorn/vex/Suros days. Get a pulse rifle
-
Having more fun than ever and all I do is pvp. Always run sniper and auto with high caliber or bad juju.
