Why do so many damned Exotics have Hip Fire?
I get that there are redundant perks all across exotics, like Red Death and Boolean Gemini sharing Unflinching, and MIDA and Patience sharing Third Eye.
But nothing [i]this[/i] bad. Some exotics don't even need the damn perk.
Here's a list of exotics that have Hip Fire;
Bad Juju
The Last Word
Sleeper Simulant
Queenbreaker's Bow
Lord of Wolves
Monte Carlo
Plan C
(It feels like I'm missing a few, too.)
Here's a list of exotics that Hip Fire might actually help and/or add to its build;
The Last Word
Plan C... [b][i][u]maybe[/u][/i][/b]
In all the others, Hip Fire is a wasted perk. Hell, even on the Last Word, it feels like a wasted perk.
Queenbreaker's Bow? That's a sniper in a fusion! Who's gonna Hip Fire with that damn thing!
Bad Juju, Monte Carlo, etc, it doesn't seem to add to any build.
[i]"Hm, this heavy damage, boss killing Fusion of doom we call the Sleeper Simulant could really use Hip Fire! You know what else? Lord of Wolves could use it too! The precision shotgun where you have to aim down the sights for full effectiveness could really use Hip Fire!"[/i]

Only one that doesn't need it is bad juju imo
-
Hip fire with plan c is amazing.

Edited by karti: 2/14/2017 3:13:51 AMI think no land should get hip fire, for unpredictable situations.
-
Yeah... Hip fire bad juju... Makes sense right? Almost as much as a No Land Beyond meta. Oh wait...
-
hip fire is a throwaway perk. i think bungie was thinking after making halo, people wouldn't be prepared to ads. obviously, they were wrong.

7 RepliesI know! It's ridiculous! It obviously needs to be replaced with shank burn!

11 RepliesEdited by Random Gamer 1337: 2/12/2017 1:50:35 AMBecause Bungie couldn't be bothered finding fitting perks for those weapons. I mean, why doesn't Monte Carlo use Close and/or Personal, and Grave Robber? It could reward melee combat, instead of [i]just[/i] charging your Melee strikes. Oh, and give it a bayonet-jabbing animation to replace the standard melee animations, that'd be cool. And what about Bad Juju and Army of One? Totally fits the gun's one-man army niche. You've got it charging Supers, so why not Melee and Grenades while you're at it? The Exotics could be a lot more interesting with perks that enforce their intended playstyle, as opposed to this 'f*** it, just give it Hip Fire' mentality.

Edited by FutureWarPunk: 2/13/2017 6:16:25 PMWell it's useless on the Last Word now but it's very noticeable on weapons like Queenbreaker's Bow and the Lord of Wolves. Didn't even notice that Sleeper Simulant had it and I use it religiously lol

1 ReplyIf only you could still hit anything hipfiring with tlw..

Because. Last Word.

2 RepliesActually hip fore on QBB is really good
-
Dude...yes! I hate that perk on any gun. I'm sure some people use hip fire, but it just seems weird to me. They prob could add a couple completely new perks for those exotics instead. Even if they were really specifically activated, kinda like the raid weapons.
-
Dude the hip fire on bad juju and last word are awesome.
-
4 RepliesSleeper should definitely have performance bonus. Imagine getting multi kills and just watching more bullets than you fired being reloaded back in
-
Hip Fire with Monte Carlo fits well with an agile Melee focus.
-
But I hip fire with the queen breakers bow. So I win!! [spoiler]Yeah![/spoiler]
-
I hipfire with Queenbreaker's bow...
-
[quote]Queenbreaker's Bow? That's a sniper in a fusion! Who's gonna Hip Fire with that damn thing![/quote] I hip-fire that damn thing.
-
I hip fire the bow all the time... bet you would stop hating on it after headshoting a couple punks from the hip.
-
Never thought that hip fire would be underrated, but apparently it is. I don't think it's redundant on those weapons but actually pretty good. Same goes for 3rd eye
-
I ADS everything.

Hip Fire is Bungie's way of saying, "Here's all our exotics, which really aren't. But look, we put them in a shiny yellowish gold engram!" It's a shame the engram is more exotic than the Hip Fire perk.
-
I'd like some hipfire on my ghorn.
