Shotgun and sniper Rules the Crucible

Crucible is so bad it's not even funny. Everyone running around one tapping each other to no ends with shotguns and snipers. Bungie needs to bring back a challenge in actual combat where it takes more than a one shot from a shotgun or sniper. We need to have all weapons relevant for time to kill. The only weapons that should one tap should be heavy weapons like rocket launchers and grenades weapons.

  • [b]YESS!! [/b] I remember when destiny 2 was actually a competitive space in PVP! You should be rewarded for your accuracy, your precision and combination of ability tactics. Not for corner camping with a shotgun like a rookie. Those type of people deserve NO reward. BUNGIE needs to address this and stop selling out to the noobs and the nobodies. [b]Destiny is a quality game that USED to have a quality compeditive PVP[/b]. Lets see some progress Bungie. [b]How about make the new special(Power) weapons available in its own separate playlist for crucible[/b]. Call it "Fiesta" like Halo does. Because that's what it is out here basically , mine as well spawn me with an energy sword. SMH get good kids, don't be happy Bungie gave you this crutch. pathetic.

  • No please don't listen bungie. Currently there is a counter to everything. If u keep getting killed by the same thing switch loadout or take different route. Having a viable choice is refreshing in d2 and best its been. Could change when the meta settles but now it's fun

    • Counter Shotguns by not allowing them to get close to you. Counter Snipers by shooting them first and making them flinch. If you suspect someone is laning with a sniper, emote-peek round the corner to check. Basically - dont engage those guns on their terms or you'll get spanked.

          It’s actually kinda easy to counter both shotguns and snipers. If you’re dying to both often, you need to learn from your mistakes and stop pushing that corner where you know the guy is waiting to slide with a shotty. Don’t push the same sniper lane the guy was the last three times you went there. You clearly weren’t there for d1

          • You can learn the maps and the lanes snipers use. You can counter shottys as well just learn to jump shoot. If you're paired with a terrible team then all is lost anyway.

            I take it you didn’t play D1. The way it is now is [i]soooo[/i] much better than the scrub graviton teamshot bullshit. If you don’t like it don’t play pvp. The game isn’t forcing you to do it anymore so don’t play it

          • I’m definitely still seeing more primary than special kills from me, my teammates, and my opponents. Sure there’s a guy every now and then who tries to use nothing but a shotty/sniper/ grenade launcher but he gets properly dispatched the majority of the time.

              • [quote]Bungie needs to bring back a challenge in actual combat where it takes more than a one shot from a shotgun or sniper. [/quote] Or you could rise to the challenge they present and stop complaining. Shotguns are readily countered....and snipers are easily countered if you dont' run around like a headless CHICKEN.

              • It's not a new meta. It's something that most players aren't reliably able to counter yet (I had good luck with Sunshot or Battle Scar)

                • This EXTREME change to the meta arrives with the most obnoxious matchmaking Destiny's ever seen. Basically they've remade crucible exclusively to appeal to people who HATED crucible.

                    • I thoroughly enjoy the new changes! I hated that sniping pretty much got taken away in D2, until now, that is. I like how you have to be paying attention at all times in crucible now. It makes it way more fun knowing you shouldn't just run out in the open to get sniped down or not just bombard your way through a doorway when that red mark on your radar just looks like he's standing still doing nothing just to get shotgunned down. Thumbs up Bungie!
