Bungie, what’s the point of having any other weapons besides hc’s and shotguns if you want to win because scouts, pulses are so much weaker. You were afraid to give scouts a buff because they would be to op so instead you Mack hc’s which are supposed to be mid range so op they now outgun and pulse or scout from across the map! IB is nothing but Steady Hand and Hawkmoon/ Felwinters or Seventh Seraph shotgun. Getting two tapped before I can pull off a third shot with any pulse or scout is bs. Then you have players just doing laps or crouching with shotgun the gun entire game and able to pull off 40+ kills with it. If you keep this meta buff 600rpm autos back to where they were and give damage buffs to pulse rifles and scouts and smg’s and sidearms to counter shotgun range and fast player movement.
340 pulse rifles are 2 tap weapons.
600 autos are still extremely good.
200 and above rpm scouts are pretty decent in the right hands.
This might be the most balanced primary weapons have ever been in d2.
