Last Word Issues

After grinding out for Last Word I can say it feels good to have this beautiful gun back in the game. However, it being a whole new world of Destiny since last we saw it, there of course are going to be some minor things that need to change over time. This is a commentary about how the Last Word is affected by PC versus Console. The Big Issue: Recoil. Recoil on PC was never really an issue and I get it, on console recoil and bloom allows for a lesser skilled gunman compete with a high tier gun god, giving the top tier a slight handicap to even the odds. That being said, The Last Word punishes both the Top Gun and Newbie. From the hip it feels great and on PC you're going to almost always want to use it this way. It is intuitive and feels great. Console is another story, because our thumbs can only do so much in comparison to the entire arm controlling a mouse, hip fire on console is a God-like skill from the start. Now I am not saying increase aim assist from the hip necessarily although that would be one option. I am saying that there is not an alternative to those situations where our thumbs cannot exceed their limits and track from hip the way aiming down sights does. Problem: The Last Word's hip-fire on console is unforgiving and aiming down sights is almost impossible even at close ranges. Solution One: Increase aim assist to hipfire to be more in line with ADS Solution Two: Recoil while ADS on console is significantly reduced Solution Three: Recoil while ADS on console is slightly reduced with more vertical recoil pattern Solution Four: The Fan Fire perk no longer goes away on ADS, but cannot be stacked while ADS Author's Preference: Solution Four. This gives players incentive to hip-fire, but when you need precision to have the option to ADS. Without a solution, I believe that The Last Word on console will become a niche pick rather than an option away from the Meta. Thank you for reading this far. Let me know what you think in the comments below. V

  • I do agree ADS recoil is a bit much on console. Hopefully bungie recognizes the drastic difference regarding how it plays between pc and console and brings the console version more up to par.
