A weapon type that wants you to sit still. This type was MADE to be -blam!- on by pogo hopping handcannon divas.

My Haflan-D is a good high impact auto

The archetype is a stationary zoning tool. Dynamic sway and stability helps but the kicker for this archetype has alway been staying still and shooting which alot of players will never do because they strafe alot (at least on pc console people to me just tbag crouch) which isn't even taking advantage of the bonus accuracy. The archetype can kill but the issue is what it has to go up against and thats often times a handcannon which can easily destroy a stationary target and Bungie reneged on them having a range weakness. Can be deadly at range but the users have to stay still and choose between either maximum stability (dynamic sway and stability mitigation) or maximum accuracy while stationary and at a range(firmly planted and a crap ton of aa mods) can't have both.

[quote]High impact auto rifles simply feel too much like garbage to ever warrant their use on controller. Got a chrysura melo with stability masterwork, dynamic sway and polygonal rifling. Not the max stability I can get on it, but dumping a ton of points of stability onto a gun to not even make it comfortable to use is getting old. Time and time again bungie releases a high impact auto and nobody uses them because they are hot garbage due to their recoil. Cant consistently hit crits because it shakes a lot which means way too much in both game modes (no, this DOES NOT mean that you should adjust its bodyshot damage to make up for this). Cant do gunfights in crucible because flinch sends it to the moon with its recoil multiplier that I'm now making up, 2 billion. It has a good amount of range that only feels comfortable to use with the aim assist near the end point where it starts to experience damage fall off. It's not a matter of skill, it's not a matter of the rolls they have, it's that the weapon type no matter HOW MUCH you spec into making it more stable will still feel like dog -blam!-. And since bungie loves pumping them out every now and then, typically with a really cool design that won't ever see any use, I'd really appreciate if using one didnt quite literally shoot me in the foot to use. They reduced pulse rifle recoil across the board, they can reduce auto rifle recoil across the board too considering just how AWFUL some of them can be to use. I don't care what your stance on auto rifles is, use one and get a feel for how theyve been for YEARS.[/quote] Autos are garbage anyways so no reason they shouldnt feel.like it too

Doesn’t help that they require consistent headshots to win in PvP. So if they’re jumping all over the place, their Range drop offs too soon, can’t induce much flinch and every time you get shot it dramatically decreases your accuracy? These things need more than just better Stability.

Auto rifles are garbage anyway, on the rare occasion they get a buff, if it becomes competitive to the meta they get nerfed right back. There rubbish in pvp and playing legend or higher in nightfall are redundant
