New Player meets Arbalest in Crucible.

I only started playing Destiny 2 a couple weeks ago. So far, I've been having a blast. I got wiped out by a fusion rifle called Jotunn a few times in crucible. I thought the circumstances of how easy I died to it were lame, but I dealt with it easily. It's not that big of a deal; Always some suprise fusion rifle blasts you die to. I still enjoyed Crucible. Then I started noticing the situation with Arbalest. Basically feels like I'm running across opponents in Crucible and impossibly instant dying. It seems like many players using it aren't very skilled and are just getting their kills simply by the brokenness of the weapon. One match was particularly toxic. Every single opponent was running Arbalest. My team had one or two. Still lost by a landslide. It was extremely frustrating. There were simply Arbalest players one shotting enemies as they spawned. What are they to do? Arbalest changes crucible in a very bad way. This, coming from a player who's only been playing Destiny 2 for 2 weeks: ARBALEST IS TOXIC! I don't even use forums. I just had to share how clearly riduculious this is. The Arbalest situation is an embarrassment to the quality of the crucible management. Please fix ASAP.

  • It's not even the gun's fault. It's that damn quest.

  • The gun isnt broken..nobody has used it since the outbreak perfected mission over 6 months ago ... And seeing as how the ritual weapon is a LFR it only makes sense people would be using the only kinetic LFR to get the quest done ... Especially since once again the ritual weapons are tied to this seasons title/seal

  • Give it a few weeks and it will eventually go away. Only reason people are using it is for the ritual weapon, once people start to get that the arbelest will go back to not being used.

  • Arbalest is only a problem because people are using that to get a Pinnacle Linear Fusion Rifle, which requires LFR kills. Since it is the only Special LFR, that's why people are using it a whole bunch.

  • It’s been out since season of the drifter. It’s most certainly not a problematic gun. Literally just get within punching distance and it’s a pretty good chance they’ll miss. Please stop complaining, it’s the last thing this community needs rn. Lol

    • It’s because of a quest calm down
