Hi all,
Which primary weapon do you primarily use; and why?
I am debating which primary should I use and I would very much like some of your opinions and suggestions to help me to decide.
I very much like the scout rifle for it has good impact, which interrupts the targets, and good damage. Also I always aim for a head shot (or a belly shot against the Vex). So I have grown fond of the scout rifle since I started playing. I also like the hand cannon too; except for its relatively small cartridge size painfully long reloading speed. I have tried to really like it and use it but I have always ended falling back to the scout rifle. The pulse rifle is a good choice too although I do not use it that often. I feel that it is not as easy to use as the auto rifle and not as impactful as the scout rifle and the hand cannon. I however have to say that the pulse is very good at one thing: scoring headshot. First you aim at the chest just below the neck, which is larger and easier to aim than the head, then the recoil will move the muzzle up and you will hit the head.
Lately, I have done some PvP matches and some team PvE. I have noticed that a lot of people are using the auto rifle. I would say nearly a majority of them. For me, I just cannot get used to the constant recoil and the constant adjusting of aim. I understand its appeal and it also manages to score a lot of team kills too. With the auto rifle, you can start aiming at the general direction before moving into a more precise aiming, and thus almost always hits something. WIth the scout rifle and the hand cannon, you have to aim first before firing, and then reengage when necessary and fire again. In PvE teaming, it annoys me to see that my kill counts are lower than a auto rifle user but I believe I deal more or less the same amount of damage; just that my bullets hit fewer targets.
So anyway, what do you use? Please share your views on the primary weapons.
Thanks!

Auto rifle allows the continuous dps necessary to drop shields and groups as well as mitigating bad shots in a close range rush. Almost no levels give a clear advantage to range and the few that do can be done with snipers instead.

I use all of them depending on how I want to play. Hand Cannon - my support tool to get assists and harass the other team into hiding. Pulse rifle -the bread a butter weapon (fire from hip perk) this one can be used is most circumstances Scout - Long range harassment used like the hand cannon but easier to kill people and easier to not get hit back AR - This is when I want to get into the thick of it. Right in your face.

3 通の返信I like Hand Cannons, but I think they need to be brought more in line with auto rifles, fusion rifles, & shotguns which all seem to be 1 shot kills on me in crucible. I think a 1 headshot kill would be appropriate for the "high risk, high reward" fator that's supposed to go with handcannons.

Lately I've been using Red Hand IX. My first game with it on Anomaly I get two or three kills right away. Then they realized I had it and I didn't get anymore kills. I've gotten a few since, but I usually just stick to my fully upgraded fusion rifle. Hopefully once I upgrade my hand cannon it will be more effective.

Use to use a Scout rifle all day. Xbox1 controller right trigger started squeaking after almost 5000 kills though. Annoying squeak, so now I use the Shadow Price auto rifle most of the time. Need to troubleshoot the squeak in the trigger, then back to Scout rifles.

I switch between pulse & Auto Rifle I use the hand cannon for "fun" when doing bounty patrols just to make tackling low level enenmies more interesting when I am 20 +. If the reload was better I would use it more.

Part of it really depends on what you get / buy end game. I got Atheon's Epilogue (Auto rifle with void damage) from VoG so I use that as my primary. The impact sucks, but the ROF and clip size make up for the short comings the rifle has.

8 通の返信I use pretty much just use Auto Rifles I maxed out the Suros and Epilogue now working on finishing my Shadow Price. Once I get my hands on an Ice Breaker the Suros will probably never be touched again.
