It's too bad Linears and Machine Guns didn't get a Charged with Light mod like RLs and swords did.

[quote]Nerfing this and buffing jusy one doesn't mean balance. Linear fusion are bad Gl are not that good now Sniper were hate in shadowkeep Machinegun are mob clear Rocket are going to be usable but not that much as you think The solva is sword are the only think good now and rocket are not going to be the new meta Bungie buff linear fusion damage[/quote] Bungie has never strived for balance. They strive for usage percentage spread evenly throughout activities moving from season to season. Rockets under-utilized? Buff Machine Guns over-utilized? Nerf (damage, number of rounds per magazine, etc...) They've mention this (Luke explicitly stated it). They said many years ago ~"Maybe the weapon type you prefer may have its season to shine next time." This was back in D1, and also spawned my use of the vault as my only mechanism to sustain usefulness from one season to the next. 1 season it was Suros Regime or Felwinter's Lie, the next was Nirwen's Mercy, Grasp of Malok, or Doctrine of Passing. They never strived for balance - just moving up the next in the queue.

Linears honestly really just need better perks. Maybe a small buff but they’re really not nearly as bad as people make them out to be.
