Wallbanging / Armor Piercing Rounds
Is it still possible to do wallbangs? I think I got like one hitmarker since I unlocked the perk today but I never got a kill. I really don't like this as it is already super hard to do and then it gets taken out. It added an extra element of fun to the game in my opinion.

Edited by EMUracing: 3/6/2015 11:20:22 PMThey should have just reduced the damage shooting through the wall. To make some walls penetrate, and others not, with the walls looking identical... It's a waste of a perk now. The only thing that I find useful is shooting through stupid teammates that run in front of me while I'm covering a sightline. I assume that I cannot shot through any wall, but occasionally get one here and there. I think that it was fine the way it was, it took a lot of skill to use. And a good way to clear the camping shotguns.

1 ReplyThey nerfed it way too much. If they [i]absolutely had to change it[/i], they should have just dropped the damage a little bit after passing through a thick object. Being able to shoot a dreg through the length of a truck when he wouldn't come out of hiding was so useful.

7 RepliesIt may be fun, but if it isn't what Bungie intended, then you better say goodbye. Remember: Destiny isn't about having fun, it's about doing what Bungie tells you is fun.

It pretty much removes the point of using certain sniper rifles for crucible. I rolled my efrideet's spear specifically to get armor piercing and the trade off in fire rate to get to use that perk was well worth it. Now I may as well just use the Praedyth's Revenge and spam bullets at people.

Blew a shit ton of motes rerolling a kickass arc efrideets spear for AP. Two days later it's useless. All the assholes at bungie had to do was mention they were going to nerf the shit out of AP.

2 RepliesSooooo! My ldr that i brought and levelled up just for the crota fight (helps shoot through pillars when sword bearer hides behind them he then jumps out and everyone can get him , also second ogre can be shot as he walks behind the concrete wall keeping you safe while dps is done) is now useless in its intended purpose, thanks bungie!

2 RepliesIt's not hard to do. Tag someone with thorn and finish them. I'm glad it's gone. Sniping is fine the way it is right now.

Got too used to it going through mountains, no longer know what walls it goes through. [spoiler]confusion intensifies.[/spoiler]

I agree somewhat...I think AP should still allow you to wallbang, but the amount of material it can potentially pass through should be capped and damage should be reduced proportionately to the amount of material the shot passes through. But wallbangs are fun, no reason to completely wipe them out.

3 RepliesI hate the change affecting PVE - can't shoot the sword bearer knight at crota when he is hiding behind rocks... up until nerf you could at least get him to jump out of hiding. What's the point of AP now? Scrapped out some snipers without AP to level some that had it - total waste now. I've seen it still go through some really thin stuff but so inconsistent it's not worth wasting ammo trying.

I hate the change! If you are going to nerf anything about snipers, the first thing to nerf is the Final round! wtf Bungie!
-
I had my fun sniping people through 6 foot thick boulders and through concrete walls with no damage drop off. Felt dirty inside when Thorn dot damage let me snipe people through ceilings and doors. Not surprised at all it was nerfed--it needed it.
-
I loved going into crucible with a LDR. Now it's basically worthless. Piss off bungie.
-
Edited by boff: 2/28/2015 10:53:11 AMfrom the few games ive played armour piercing for pvp has gone, the ldr has lost its use, the poor fire rate leaves it with no advantage for pvp, its back to the lower impact higher rate of fire sniper rifles.

1 ReplyI havn't noticed any change, maybe you just need a bigger gun?
-
Edited by GemCutter: 2/28/2015 2:17:42 PMI literally just blew 60 god damn motes rerolling a badass Efrideets to get final/ap... All the -blam!-s had to do was tell us they were doing it... It won't even go through the regular barriers in hive temples... It was awesome before compared to this. FML

3 RepliesFreaking pvp crybabies -.- AP rounds were so insanely useful in pve and now they became obsolete :/
-
Wall bang headshots was one of the most satisfying things to do in the crucible. It sucks. And it's even worse that they left Final Round untouched
-
you can still get kills, my ldr does 400+ if I get a headshot through a wall, still does over 100 on body as well but don't remember the exact number, you just cant shoot through unreasonably thick objects now
-
I miss it but I gotta say it was a little op for pvp
-
Less ammo in crucible is all we need for special weapons to change
-
2 RepliesCan it still shoot through the pillar that the swordbearer hides behind?
-
8 RepliesYou can still shoot through walls, just not through 10 feet of concrete.
-
You can only shoot through really thin walls or glass
-
I'm still wondering how much has changed? Anyone do some testing to confirm what APR can shoot through now? I tried testing a little but can't be sure. Seems like sometimes the rounds go through thin walls, sometimes they don't.
