Primary weapons need to be buffed
I honestly only get killed by four weapons.
-high rof pulse rifles
-The Last Word
-shotguns
-snipers
High rof pulse rifles cause massive flinch, and also have a quick ttk.
When TLW bullets decide to register, it's probably the best primary in the game.
Shotgunners have a ton of tools at their disposal to make them a nightmare to deal with. (Titan skating, No Backup Plans, Juggernaut, Stormcaller melee, invisibility)
Snipers are a one hit kill weapon, but they have unlimited range. Why wouldn't you use one?
Conclusion: Primaries were powerful in year one, but now they're only good for taking down your opponents shield before they shotgun/snipe you.
I don't want a Call of Duty type Crucible where it's about who gets the first shot off, but I want primary weapons to be the [u]primary[/u] source of kills.

27 RepliesShotguns and Snipers are fine. For the most part, weapons are balanced in Destiny. There are some outliers like Last Word and Mida Multi Tool. Right now, Pulse a Rifles are a train wreck. Here's what needs to happen. High Impact Pulse Rifles need a buff to be able to kill in two bursts of Headshots, but have slightly reduced ROF to compensate. Low Impact Pulse Rifles need a impact reduction to make them kill in 4 bursts of Headshots. They have very fast TTK's and are way too effective. They need to be brought to a four burst to match TTK values of other primary weapons. Last Word is a High ROF Hand Cannon with the Impact of a Medium ROF. It can kill in 3 Headshots but fires bullets about 2x faster than Medium RoF Hand Cannons. It needs to either be brought to a Medium RoF, or the Impact needs to be reduced to High ROF standards with 3 Headshots and 1 body or 5 body. If this is in effect, the mag size needs to be increased to 10 or 11 rounds to compensate. This would put Last Word back into its archetype. I just balanced Destiny for you.
