Previously the top weapons in the game were hand cannons and max RoF pulses. They nerfed The pulses, and lets be honest, they didn't really substantially buff anything else. They increased the crit damage suros does, by 1, (That's real impressive) and max impact pulse rifles can't compete in close range with hand cannons. Nothing else got buffed, it sounds kind of said when I say it like that. In the past six months the only weapons they could think to buff were those two, and the buffs were practically worthless. So hand cannons are still the meta, and the only competition is a max range weapon like NLB or a scout rifle plus a sidearm. If you don't believe me just wait and see.

Edited by Blind-N-1I: 2/15/2017 3:36:38 PMIMO The Palindrome is easily the best gun in the game in the right hands. Destroys pretty much all other weapons from a little past halfway across most of the maps. Basically a nice short to midrange+ scout rifle in handcannon form. Definitely agree that this is going to end up being a Handcannon meta as most everyone discovers the super quick TTK at longer ranges.

Not anymore the range plus damage drop off is very noticeable on hand cannons. Played rift on bannerfall last night got a crit of 39 from outside the doorway on the balcony to the rift . That's hardly long range.

They even said at the beginning of the stream that the goal wasn't to nerf things into the ground.... Yet there was way more nerfs than buffs. Discredit to all disclaimers
