Do pulse rifles need a buff?
I never really see anyone using a pulse rifle, I like them personally, I just don't see a reason to use one over a hand cannon or scout, what do you guys think?
Edit 1: 256 people think pulse rifles need a buff, cmon bungie make it happen!
Edit 2: wow guys almost 1000 people agree with me, let's make this thread heard by bungie !

They just. Don't. Fit. They need some TLC.
-
Yes. I want to love them but it's not easy unless it's an exotic (and even then, I only really care for Read Death. [i] And even then[/i], Read death 2.0 isn't as good as the 1.0 version.

Definitely.

Yes. They suck octopus balls. Yes.

5 RepliesEdited by Dr Internet 704: 1/22/2015 5:08:36 PMI am more of a hand can/scout rifle kind of guy, but I have put some time into the pulse rifles. I have fond memories of my now unavailable Strange Suspect. To this day the Strange Suspect remains the only pulse that I have fully leveled, and I have had Bad Ju Ju for quite some time. With that being said, I think pulse rifles need a bit of freshening up to the base damage. [b]Side note[/b]: Last night I scored the Crota raid pulse rifle Oversoul Edict. The base damage might be a touch low, but the ROF and stability should more than make up for it...... it shoots frickin' lasers. The Edict will be the 2nd pulse rifle I max out. You pulse rifle lovers will put it top-tier for sure.

I like scouts and hand cannons cause I want to know that each shot will do some damage. Give pulse rifles some sort of high precision damage bonus and a bit less recoil across the board and I'll use them.
-
Yep. Halo battle rifle type buff
-
They definitely need a buff. I was excited about them at first because I remembered how much face I used to wreck with the M16 in COD. Unfortunately the pulse rifles leave much to be desired. They are average at best. There is never a situation where you wouldn't be better off using an auto rifle or scout rifle.

2 RepliesYes they need buff and so do auto rifles .... They over needed them . I can under stand my suros because it is still nasty but any other

They rely too heavily on rng perks. I love mine with rangefinder, third eye, and decent impact. In pvp it forces me to play smarter so my kd improves a lot.

Triple headshot What needs a buff is scout rifles
-
Definitely
-
Yes!! They are flat out weak. They even sound weak. At least make them sound powerful. Come on

Edited by lIIEmIIl: 1/22/2015 6:32:46 PMI have one that 2 shots people. Super Pox VLO with Glass Half Full perk. I love my Pulse Rifles dude. Here is a pretty cool video I made with me getting some wicked shots off. It has some other randomness in it too. Also it has music, so don't start the video at work with the sound on lol. Note that it isn't all about pulse rifles. That video will be coming soon.

nawwwww....they're too busy adding trash mobs to CE HM 2.0 :|

2 Repliesthey do, but not much of one. I hear that in the beta pulse rifles had an around the board much higher impact and it made them unstoppable. A good player with a high impact pulse rifle and the appropriate perks can ruin lives. In their current state they simply dps too slowly. They can't have much of a rate of fire boost or they're just autorifles. Too much impact and they suddenly get too good in the midrange and outperform handcannons/autorifles in close. If they had a low range, long reloads, and high rate of fire (higher rate of fire than a typical handcannon) but a higher impact/stability they might fit into a mid/close range niche similar to handcannons but with a different playstyle. Sort of a hybrid autorifle/hand cannon with good add clear magazine capacity and decent burst damage on single targets but limited range and reloads to force them to slow down and close distance in pvp.
-
I agree, not enough damage output. I love bad Juju, it's just mildly impractical because higher tier enemies just shake off the damage.
-
-
Yaaaasss
-
Def the 3 shot bursts are very inaccurate i find i have to start at the waste to get a decent moving headshot . And during pvp or raids who gonna honestly use a pulse Mob clearing is prob the only use they get and even then theres better weaps

1 ReplyEdited by Eluminary: 1/22/2015 5:43:03 PMYes definitely... Not sure what they could do really. The thing i hate the most is the rocking over the 3 shots it can be difficult on alot of them to get all 3 on the head (not all). And if you di get all three on the head it's barely more damage than a scout rifle of equal quality and less than a hand cannon single bullet. Thry arr just not comfortable to use for me at all. I wouldn't mind if they were just taken out of the game.

5 RepliesYes, they're pretty terrible. The only ones that seem to be worth using are Red Death and Bad JuJu, both of which are Exotic.

Most useless weapon in game! Just bad juju and red death are decent because of perks all other sucks
