Popping a Golden gun results in the following: A). You get shredded because you know.... suspect-able to more damage from energy/power weapons, especially if they deal Solar damage. Example: You’d kill an active Golden gun quicker with a Hallowed Earth (Energy Assault Rifle) than you would with an Origin Story (Kinetic Assault Rifle( w/o Rampage or a Scathelocke (Kinetic Assault Rifle). Same rules apply to any other roaming Super. B). No armor.... C). Sound cues are decent enough for people to run and hide upon its activation.... D). Only one shots other supers if it’s a precision shot. R.I.P. top tree. E). It’s a hitscan super. And finally... F). It’s simply too -blam!-ing short of a duration, especially when top and bottom tree last about the same, provided that no shots are fired. Get good Bungie.
