Yeah, its getting a bit out of hand.

As much as I love Handcannons. In D2 we’ve been spoiled absolutely rotten to where the handcannons thst are exotic aren’t the best. We got Crimson(utility) Sturm which is great Sunshot(severely needs a buff to mag etc) Past Luna and the other god rolled legendaries they’ve catered old D1 exotic hand cannons to us. Ace Last word Thorn Now I only really wanted thorn, but I’m tired of jumping through all these hoops and rings for just a D1 exotic, especially a handcannon. They know they can mix it up, but I guess they’re banking on a few folks buying the models

I would love to see some support weapons too! Bullets heal teammates if fired at them? Scout rifle that has a timed payload that sticks to walls and can be used as tripmines? An auto rifle that can heal teammates and damage foes? The Tractor Cannon was a cool original idea until they gave it suppressing powers and left it as a heavy. What’s the fun in that if you can’t launch enemies off cliffs because they are already dead? Why not a grenade launcher that you can stick teammates with and they can be a moving bomb? A fusion rifle that freezes enemies. (Should have been cold heart but they slept on that)

Yeah, we need new scouts and ARs especially: there are enough good pulses, although I love pulses so I wouldn't turn down new ones either, if they're good. Scouts in particular are still somewhat lacking: unfortunately, to make them most effective, they end up with perk sets that are kind of bland: I could probably get more kills with damage boosting perks, but with a scout especially, I'll trade a damage perk for Dragonfly, every time, just because I enjoy watching people's heads explode in Crucible. ;P And depending on how closely clustered together the opposing team is, it's sometimes incredibly useful. It would be nice to be able to have a scout where there are fewer trade-offs, because scouts are enough of a pain to use in these small maps but getting outranged by HCs and PRs, getting sniped by snipers and linear fusion rifles, scouts lack an optimal range that they aren't being crowded out of by other weapons and weapon archetypes. D1 had some great scout rifles, and maps to use them on: I loved my full-auto NL Shadow with HCR, it was the flinch king, with a fast rate of fire, crisp movement with decent handling, it would stun-lock Guardians for days. By comparison, in D2, even my favourite MIDA feels underwhelming: still effective, but in some ways even less interesting than in D1 where it was a great workhorse weapon in Crucible. It was nothing fancy, it just worked. I mean, why give up an Exotic slot if there are better Exotics and you can get outshot by some Legendaries.

I would love to see another exotic sub machine gun or pulse rifle. Not enough exotic to go around. Bad juju was a long time friend of mine back in D1. Now you have a double tapping scout rifle or a five bursting auto rifle. The damn Crimson is more of a Pulse rifle than the other two are

Counting trace rifles, there’s an equal amount of exotic autos as exotic hc.

But it’s Truth! Sure it got nerfed all to hell, but still. We can trick shoot with launchers again! That is until they nerf tracking too... To your point I wouldn’t mind Monte Carlo coming back if only because it was my favorite AR exotic. Would be nice to give the exotic perk some kind of twist.

Well, I kept my expectations low, they were super creative in D1, but now, they can't come up with new creative ideas for exotics so they are just giving things they know we like in the past.

More HC’s Pls!!!

For god sakes, yes! Enough with the damn HCs already!
