With how easily the Recluse outshines every other SMG in the game I can say, with confidence, that I'm glad they're stepping away from pinnacle weapons.

I can't argue with that. The lack of pinnacle weapons can mean some people won't have to feel bad about not having a tier 0 weapon when you can now openly use anything.

Same. I started farming Menagerie and I had close to 4k PvE kills on it, not I have over 10k. Didn't even realize I used it that much lol

Like my Wizened Rebuke; last I looked I was hitting 2,400 enemies downed. Didn't realize it was my go-to lol

Recluse is literally just for adds, I use ep and mini tool with disruption break for added dmg against majors or bosses with shields but people don’t seem to understand how to create an actual build with diversity, they look for whatever a streamer says and use that exact loadout. The community is actually the reason this stuff is over used. A lack of understanding build diversity and synergy. My current fav pvp build for hunter WotCurrent Shinobus vow Enhanced ashes to assets Le monarch Antiope 5x nade mods Most engagements I’m covered and get my super quick. Can take on campers with Le monarch and play aggressive with antiope/nades I’ve never seen anyone use this build and it’s extremely effective.

As much as I dont care for following metas, if I'm playing quickplay I play whatever suits my fancy wether it be bows or a weapon that has no business being in the crucible. But if I go into comp, yes I am kinda forced to follow the meta since there is a reason they are top tier and if I dont have them then I just go with a weapon I am extremely comfortable with

Drop an add and then hit a major. You'll see the difference. No other SMG has the same damage output. The community use whatever works. Thats why you see it all over the Crucible.

That’s not unusual. I mean there are what, two sniper rifles that people talk about and nothing else. Only one shotgun for pvp ever gets mentioned. Handcannons, despite the metric ton of them, are narrowed down to what four at the top? Having a peak gun isn’t new. They are doing the same thing with curated rolls? Making a high tier weapon?

The situation isn't surprising but the Master of Arms perk is. It's Kill Clip subjected to the Super Soldier project that refreshes every time you kill something. So any SMG with Kill Clip or Rampage is instantly downgraded by comparison. There will always be weapons that do better for one reason or another but to completely sabotage the entire weapon type is ridiculous.
