I'm sick of special in PvP

I decided last night to delete all my special weapons, god-rolls and all, in defiance of what PvP has become. The shotguns/fusions have become out of control at this point and I don't even enjoy sniping anymore. So I deleted all special weapons and turned in my weapons parts to the gunsmith. I actually got a really good roll on Pribina-D with Sureshot HCS, Accurized rounds, Rangefinder, and zen moment, with a range masterwork. I regret nothing :)

  • I wish we could get a primaries only game mode. Don't bother equipping a sniper, shotty or fusion rifle because you won't spawn with ammo for it, no one killed will drop it and it won't spawn anywhere on the map. No power ammo spawn either. The only other attacks will be your ability and super kills. I wish they'd give it a try.

      • So what youre saying is you handicapped yourself in PvP... over nothing.... I agree primary weapons need a buff to sway people from the special weapons meta but deleting all your special weapons accomplished nothing..its not that specials are strong it's that primaries are weak (and that's just comparing D1 to D2)

        • Good players can definitely use a primary. Playing against a shotgun rusher keep your distance playing against a sniper.... slide/jump around corners. Stick to conjested areas Playing against fusions.... stick to cover, dont walk/run blindly out into the open. Backup plan.... Lol #rip Special weapons are not that great unless you play into their strengths. Special weapons allow one player to take on multiple opponents. You can complain about special all you want but teamshooting is still the best strategy. Most people that'll complain about special are mad cause they can't get an easy clean up kill.

          • Join me on the dark side, Carry an auto loading holster rapid fire shotgun, grab every green brick and burn the ammo. Devs won’t fix the problem so the only option we have is to starve the scrubs the use special weapons.

                  Well the hand cannon nerfed pushed all the good players to focus more on special weapons so unless they buff primaries there is really no option but to focus on special weapons if you want to win. Ps i still use my hand cannon as much as my shotty but with me being closer than ever to stay in my very limited range, if you make the mistake of getting to close I do not hesitate to slide and kill you. And if I see you have no shut down defense then I start to ape.

                  • Some bigger maps would be nice. It’s to easy for shotgun apes to fill the gap currently.

                      • Spare rations, shotgun, wardcliff coil Every person topping the winning team is using this load out because sweats Meanwhile I'm running around with a sweet business side arm combo trying to do my best Arnie impression getting destroyed. Ah crucible isn't as fun as it used to be for trying these builds. You need sweaty meta weapons to win

                        • The real problem is maps that are so tiny and crowded that it forces people to constantly special ammo weapons.

                          • Bigger maps mean nothing if the radar is active constantly that’s why fusions and shotguns reign supreme because they know where a person is it makes it easier to anticipate it’s like sixth sense from bo3 or an acoustic sensor from bo4 and the game should allow every gun to have some sort of decrease in stats or a neutralizer type thing going like the division 2 did so you can have options and every game not really be just a few select guns and they should do something with the difference in subclasses and exotics in pvp overall I feel they should revamp everything about pvp for their new season and just give a go at trying something different like a big change could be taking the radar off and enlarging the maps a bit giving players a chance to learn the maps and it’s hotspots and allowing for flanking and reaction times bringing back the special ammo crates and losing it when you die allowing for more primary use and fighting for that SPECIAL ammo for a game changing moment and not just handing it to them from the start of every life and gaining it upon every kill. Pvp wouldn’t be so bad if this game wasn’t so diverse and had an rng system. the division realized that and tried to make a change in the second game they produced destiny needs to implement that and seriously TAKE OUT THE DAMN RADAR I PROMISE YOU ITS THE SINGLE MOST BIGGEST PROBLEM plus the fact this game pvp servers are laggy af you can’t give a person a radar and a one shot weapon on a laggy sever it leads to bad things and frustration for majority of the casual gamer demographic your trying to help play your game more and literal neutralizing of gear would really help because then it would be more of a who can hit there shots if every gun of the same archetype killed in the same amount of shots so it would be more of a “okay cool good shots bro he was landing more hits and had more focus” than “wtf -blam!- -blam!- using a -blam!-ing spare rations of ace or last word playing like a asshole” 😂🤣 but pvp has potential they just need to make some critical much needed changes for it to shine the way it can because it’s not entirely an entirely bad game.

                            This is the most hilarious thing I have read all day. To those who did everything in their power to get hand cannons nerfed, a ha ha. Look what fresh hell you created.

                                  Bungie shooters are the only ones where they have to restrict your ammo for shotguns and other OHK weapons because they don't tune their sandbox properly. In Titanfall if you tried to run across 30 m of open ground at someone with a shotgun in your hand....you'd be dead before you took your third step.

                                      • D2 primaries are weak compared to D1 primaries (I played D1 5 months ago). Then again, nerfing special ammo isn’t gonna make the game better. Buff primary weapons. [spoiler]Idk why 140 rpm hand cannons exist[/spoiler]

                                        • To me, the issue is the maps, plain and simple, they all seem to cater to shotgun apes. In BFV a shotgun has a pretty large kill range, but it's balanced because of the maps, you need to plan where to run etc as you'll easily be taken out in the open.
