Only way to really salvage rocket launchers at this point would be to give some outstanding catalysts for their exotics.

I hate to point this out, but it should be obvious by now one of the seasonal weapons, be it season pass, a quest or pursuit weapon is going to be a rocket launcher. I’m kind of expecting some form of Sound and Fury from D1 to return. It was a legendary launcher from Wrath of the Machine that had Clown Cartridge and its own SIVA perk called ‘Wait for It’. You fire off it’s two shots and there was about a 50% chance your next clip had 5 shots. The catch is you had to let the weapon reload without hitting the reload button. Took a bit of practice to break that habit and get the most of it. I remember during the ‘Age of Triumph’ when they offered exotic versions of most of the WotM weapons and I only kept the legendary ones. Their perks were just that amazing.

BIRBにより編集済み: 1/30/2021 7:50:15 PMI think the damage buff in rockets could make them more viable for burst damage. I’m looking forward to using rockets again. As far as swords go, it’s just a bit confusing when lament and whirlwind swords (guillotine) are the only outliers. None of the other sword archetypes have a problem with burst damage. Again with the blanket nerfs :/

5 通の返信I wish we finally got some catalysts . So far we got like 1 every season. We still have like 20 weapons without catalyst.. If bungie continues like this we will still have 7 or so exotics without catalyst by lightfall.

8 通の返信Rockets are already amazing <- I soloed the first lost sector at 1225 with a truth. The 9 rockets was amazing for over loading the champions and then rocketing them. The insta reload perk or auto Holster perk turns them god tier for this type of stuff. Rockets will be brutal next season.

7 通の返信It makes sense. Swords are overused, nerf the damage. Rockets aren’t good enough, buff the damage. Easy as that. But they missed the most important thing as always. #TwoInTheMag

18 通の返信I’m really, really disappointed in theSword Nerf. What am I supposed to equip in my Power Weapon slot now? I have a few options, [b][i]if[/i][/b] I wanted to equip an Exotic in the Power slot. But there are no suitable Legendary Power weapons. Legendary Linear Fusion Rifles are rare, and were nerfed into the ground. Legendary Machine Guns are rare ( after sunsetting ), and there aren’t any decent ones. Rocket Launchers are shit. And even with the buff, they are are still useless without tracking and/or Cluster Bombs. The reason why so many people are using swords is because Bungie [b][i]NERFED[/i][/b] the living shit out of all the other alternatives. And Sunsetting removed all the viable replacements. I’m sick and tired of Bungie punishing the community for problems that [b][i]Bungie[/i][/b] created in the first place.

3 通の返信Rocket launchers should be the highest damaging weapons in the game, and even a 30% buff isn't enough I feel. Perhaps adding 2-3 Rockets per mag as Truth has would be a good addition too. Swords have been nerfed a few times now. Is this the solution for everything??? Bungie seem to think so. They screwed up Grenade launchers, Machine guns and now its swords turn, before Rockets again.... Its tiresome.

1 返信I won't use rocket launchers, because I am constantly running out of ammo and left defenceless. Swords are a way better option and never need reloading.
-
3 通の返信They are giving the exotic rockets individual buffs independent of the 30% though so eyes of tomorrow will probably still be trash

30% is actually a lot of damage and from what I saw that is to every enemy type across the board which makes them not only good for burst damage but also WAY better for add clear. With a higher level of damage, that also means the radius as a whole will be able to cover more with potency, rather than just a good amount of damage to nearby targets if they are tanky. Maybe they won't replace swords due to how efficient swords are, but rockets will probably replace grenade launchers and potentially machine guns due to the higher reserve count and greatly increased damage (plus there are perks that can make them do even more damage). Keep your eye out for some rockets, I think the sandbox is gonna be exploding a whole lot more next season.

10 通の返信Sounds great. Swords are way overused, and rocket launchers have been pathetic for a long time. Both are needed.

Bungie seems to be going into the direction where Legendary heavy weapons should be used for PVE ad-clear and PVP, not Boss damage/dps. The weapons made for the latter are only ever Exotic weapons. Before sunsetting, only Falling Guillotine and Interference VI were the only viable legendary options, making the selection very scarce. Personally i have no issues with this, it makes exotic heavies "exotic". I also rarely ever use exotic primaries and specials in high-level PVE, save for a few specials with alot of utility (i.e. Eriana's Vow, Borealis, Witherhoard, etc.)

Who cares, linear fusions are the coolest most futuristic heavies in the game that have sucked since day one and still no kind of work done to improve them. Just like trace rifles need major buffs. We are playing a game that takes 3000 years in the future with massive advances in science and weaponry yet bungie only wants us the use basic bland primitive weapons like rocket launchers, swords, bows, shotguns and hand cannons!?!? This game blows, bungie has zero imagination and they can’t program.

1 返信Usually these buffs/nerfs are related to what’s getting released next. My guess is the content would be too easy with a sword and they are trying to showcase some new r/l. Then when players get used to the changes they made, bungie will re-evaluate their statistics and find that far to many guardians are relying on their rocket launchers. Soup of the day is rocket launchers. Bon appetite!
