Idk....I wonder that also. I know for a while that void exotic one (can't think of the name) had a ridiculous ttk but they should have and could have just adjusted the ttk or stability or range instead. You can kill like 1 and a half people with the amount of ammo they spawn you with on trace rifles lol

Well, shotties start with 2. So you can get 2 kills easily. Same with snipers. 2 kills. Just manage your shots, and use a special scavenger mod. It’s simple IMO
-
Like I get that you can work around the limited ammo, u just don't get why you should have to given the current state of traces
-
Meant *I* don't get, not *u* don't get
-
But why should you have to waste a mod slot and energy for scavenger mod when you're using a trace? Like how is a trace worthy of limited ammo considering how non relevant they are I'm comparison to all other energy weapons? Not trying to argue you, I respect your opinion is as valid as anyone elses including mine...I'm just trying to understand your perspective

It’s not a waste. Get a kill, then pick up ammo, rinse and repeat. If you have scavenger, then ammo probably won’t be a problem. But in the current sandbox, trace rifles are not good. If you were here Back in the day when there was “laser tag” then you’d know why they had to change it. Maybe next season or two, they’ll change it. But who knows, it’s bungie 🤷🏼♂️

Bungie has a problem with weapon balance in general tho. They're so extreme. It's either stupid OP or its almost useless as a weapon. Their buffs and nerfs are extreme as extreme gets lol always
-
Id use them sometimes in place of another auto rifle or smg sometimes if they had kinetic ammo. But with green ammo, no way in hell I'm gonna replace my sniper or shooty with them. Know what I mean?
-
I 100 percent was there and fully agree with you that they were too op at the time...I'm js they should have nerfed their ttk instead of reducing ammo for them just bc the reduced ammo forces you to waste mod slots on scav perks for a no longer relevant weapon type. If they had nerfed range or anything else about them instead, it would have served the same purpose and people would be using them here and there still. The way they were nerfed, with ammo is why no one cares about them at all. They almost nerfed them into damnation lol

Yea I get you but what I'm saying is that snipers and fusions and shottys are meant to be able to kill 1 person per round in the mag assuming you land your shots whereas trace rifles have the same ttk these days as auto rifles yet use green ammo instead of kinetic and that doesn't make sense. My opinion only
