So, if you play Crucible
Who am I kidding, Crucible is this game's life support.
When you play Crucible, you've probably bagged yourself a "Spare Change.25". A legendary pulse rifle. And why is it called "Spare Change.25" you may ask?
Because that's all the god damn gun is worth.
It's a high impact pulse rifle that requires timing and perfect precision, but yOU CAN'T GET PERFECT PRECISION BECAUSE THE BASTARD PULLS TO THE UPPER LEFT/RIGHT.
What kind of recoil is this? Does firing this gun dislocate my guardian's shoulder everytime he shoots it?
In all seriousness though. The only perk that makes this gun somewhat usable, is Counterbalance. But not even Counterbalance will make this piece of shit worth the effort. Literally any other pulse rifle can do what the Spare Change can do except it'll be easier on your shoulders.
I would rather be rewarded an actually quarter than this gun. Hell, I would rather it [i]shoot[/i] quarters.
The description says [i]Keep it.[/i] Just like that.
Either it's saying [i]Keep It[/i] because Bungie believes that this gun totally doesn't perform like elephant shit, or its saying it because having this gun in the loot table puts too much internal strain on the system, pulling all the data files to the upper left corner like its recoil, and the game has no other choice but to dump it into our inventory.
"But I use the spare change because DURRR I haz a gawd roll spare change with extra pennies DURRR"
Look. I don't care about your god roll, because if I were to give this thing wolfpack rounds, Dreg's Promise would still outperform it. Without any ammo.
It's that bad.
Shit gun.

Parthian Shot is the new Spare Change. But even with Braced Frame & Counterbalance the recoil isn't great. It's possible to 2 burst players but it's not consistent at all.

These reviews are hilarious, and it's hard to get me laughing let alone chuckle.

You know most weapons pull upward during firing, right? Many go to the upper right since they're being held in a right handed position. Some simply go straight up die to the games mechanics and perks that allow better recoil control ( it's easier to control upward draw than diagonal movement). Some of this is closer to actual dynamics and others are simply game physics. Most games have this mix of fiction/nonfiction physics.

Keep these reviews coming!

I have glass half full,rangefinder, and perfect balance. How does your have recoil? Mine doesn't.

Chill bra it's a friggin legendary. Just use the last word

People had this debate back when Messenger was the best pvp gun in the game. People compared the two, but in reality there is no comparison. Messenger shoots straight, Spare Change pulls hard so all 3 bullets never hit from any kind of range.

3 RepliesI just got another one with Danger Close and Last Resort from Shaxx weekly. No stability in middle tree F M L

1 ReplyI have a spare change with secret round, counterbalance and glass half full. It's alright but I don't think it's god awful. I've used worse guns.

4 RepliesTheoretically I have a god roll .25 in actual game play its garbage.

7 RepliesIn Times of Need does need removed. Spare Change doesn't. I'm currently trying to get one with perks like counterbalance, braced frame and Headseeker. That would be cool.

Please dismantle yours. Maybe once you do, it will move higher in the meta. It's one of the fastest ttk weapons, and it reminds me of the hopscotch pilgrim.

19 RepliesEdited by E-Sentinel: 9/5/2016 10:13:37 PMMine woth Counterbalance and Hand-Laid stock two bursts if every bullet is a head shot. Bungie isn't gonna give you perfect intrinsic stability on a two burst weapon.

Idk all the slow to fire pulse seemed just fine a couple months ago
-
I feel like it used to be faster.
-
Do a review for the hard light
-
I have counterbalance on mine, and it just takes too damn long to kill with it. You'll lose about every engagement. It was great in Y1 though. Sad.
-
It was much better in the HoW era and early TTK before the pulse rifle nerfs.
-
Stop recycling your topic over and over I have head seeker and tied eye on mine so I'm happy!
-
I genuinely kek'd out loud. Good shit, guardian.

I enjoy your posts. All of them. But I would say don't go so fast with them. It's not spam. It's that you gotta keep an even keel of supply and demand. That and you don't want to run out of ideas or dilute yourself by being overly ambitious. All in all though, I appreciate your content!

5 RepliesThis post makes me miss my OG Hopscotch Pilgrim.. Almost exactly one year ago they nerfed it. Im almost certain that to this day, it is the only weapon that has ever received an archetype change as a nerf.
