Upvote if you want Trace Rifle to be put back in Primary Ammo
Trace rifle used to be FUN when it used to be a normal energy weapon with normal ammo. After special ammo type was allocated to trace rifle in exchange of increase in damage, this weapon type can barely be used anymore. You run out of ammo in a blink of an eye and it is NOT FUN anymore using trace rifle. It is ok not to have the increase in damage but to have primary ammo with ammo being returned as you hit the enemy like before. There are lot of other weapons that does a lot of damage and for serious games (in competitive situation) those weapons can be used. But when you are just having fun in PvE, trace rifle is a good one to use and having primary ammo to it will make it usable again!!

No I just think it needs a buff of ammo pick up to both and possible bring back the thing we’re Prometheus lens generated ammo
-
I think it should have a ammo buff but remains as a special similar to d1 sidearms having ammo yet being a special

2 RepliesI was having fun with Prometheus, I have to keep my eye on the ammo because it's all I was using. Melting enemies with it. What I don't get is it says magazine is 1000 but in the slots Max hold is 600. Love the trace, we do need ammo capacity buff.

3 RepliesExactly. I use to be so good with the prometheus lense but now I can hardly use it because Its stuck in the secondary slot and doesnt get any ammo.

2 RepliesHonestly, they should just be the highest dps primaries in the game. They are a beam weapon that requires constant sight with to damage targets...and it's a laser. Slightly weaken them in PvP to average a .75-.80 ttk and reduce their pve damage by about 15%. Increase the prism growth rate on prometheus lens and grant it back ammo on kills. It's not a special weapon worthy of the slot tbh. It doesn't do the dps of a sniper or a shotgun and fusion rifles don't count.

Cold heart shreds in the crucible but ammo pickups don’t give enough for a single kill whereas shotguns and snipers get 2+ potential kills. Trace rifles are highly competitive time to kill wise, just less efficient with ammo. Keep them in the special slot just buff ammo pickups slightly.

Edited by Rapscallion: 10/24/2018 6:42:50 PMI think they’re fine where they are, they just need an ammo buff.
-
Trace rifles are powerful with special ammo not had an issue with ammo tbh cold heart is so good
-
they are technically considered an auto rifle so yeah this makes sense.
-
10 RepliesKeep special ammo but give them prenerf Prometheus lense damage 😁

I wouldn’t mind seeing some legendary trace rifles in the game, love the idea behind the weapon but not giving up the exotic spot for it.
-
Edited by Soul_Eater_42: 10/24/2018 5:01:13 PMFor Crucible, they need to increase the spawn amount to 60, and have the pick up amount be no less than 15. When the minimum is 5 (to a Trace Rifle, that's the equivalent of firing 1 bullet from an smg), there's an obvious problem with Trace Rifle ammo economy that needs to be addressed immediately.
-
In pvp it sucks. 40 rounds and it doesn’t always get a kill.
-
Edited by STARWoLF00: 10/24/2018 3:12:43 AMI don’t understand why they were put into special ammo anyway. 40 ammo on spawn and it takes like 35 to kill someone smh.
-
Can anyone confirm that Auto Rifle scavenger perk gives more ammo on pick up for Trace Rifles?
-
Edited by Rocket3497: 10/23/2018 9:06:07 PMI agree but if they intend to keep them using green ammo they need to buff them to be in line with the other energy weapons damage-wise.
-
Keep them on special ammo, but up their damage a fair whack more, it feels like they're still barely hitting harder than an auto rifle right now
-
2 RepliesThen again It did melt a titan when I was using cold heart in iron banner.
-
Agree but then they are getting a damage nerf lol
