    How to solve the special balancing in PvP while bringing back the D1 system which was more diverse and far more fun while also fulfilling the power fantasy. Shotguns (close range) Snipers (precision, flinch) Fusions (charge time) All have drawbacks that make them good for certain situations. A rocket will always be good for pretty much anything. Clearing mobs, boss dps, yellow bars, etc. Which is why all speedrunners and solid raid groups use rockets, they're the least effort for the max gain. (The only down to rockets is reload which is negated by hunters, titans and warlocks with an exotic) Snipers, shotguns and fusions don't belong in the same slot as something with far easier use and better returns. D1 Primary - mobs Special - yellow bars (or boss) Heavy - boss (or yellow bars) D2 Primary - mobs Elemental - mobs Heavy - yellow bars, boss Vosik is my favorite example. I used Tuonala sr4 for monitors or adds. Void, full auto, final round comedian for captains. Sleeper stim for vosik Or Leathe nobless with reactive/crowd for mobs/monitor Ex machina for vosik Dark drinker for captains Or Touch of malice (armor bubble) for vosik Wotm fusion vs captains or adds to get abilities back Fwc rocket with max blast radius + cluster for monitors, adds or captains Or Outbreak prime for everything but captains Eierine rr4 with triple tap+casket mag Jlb-42 for captains and surplus for ammo I had a ton of ways to approach the same encounter, I was able to pair my loadouts with armor, subclasses, exotics and make a truly powerhouse build for anything I would face. Unlike D2 where I have a redundant primary and feel a tinge of regret every time I'm forced to use heavy that I need for boss dps on adds or majors. Now about PvP balancing it's easy. Those same power crates? Make them special, same things apply, only one person gets it, everyone sees what they got and where and you can't pick it up under fire. PvP will be primary based with some special thrown in and because it isn't heavy you won't be god-like when you pick it up or defenseless when you're on the other side of it the way power ammo makes you right now.
