Golden gun is extremely underpowered, especially considering that hunter is the damager/ mob control class. Golden gun obviously to be doing the major damage. However, golden gun only does 2.5ish thousand damage against low level enemies withing range when the icebreaker does 6.5K. I'd like to know why Bungie thinks that my SUPER should do less damage than my sniper with unlimited ammo... As far as I can currently see, in pve, i should never even use my golden gun. I think that golden gun needs to do at least 10K damage per shot when you're max rank to be worth while and warrent anyone playing GG Hunter. Please leave any opinions and explain.
EDIT1: Guys, seriously, why do you think I'm talking about Pvp? That would be a whole new thread. Lemme just throw it out there in simple terms that everyone can understand.
[i]I believe that, in PvE, Golden Gun is outclassed by your normal weapons, the icebreaker being a prime example. I'd like to see it become more useful because, at this point in time, it isn't worth my time to call it out.[/i]
EDIT 2: I have no clue as to why, but almost everyone is referencing Bladedancer. I'm not sure why as I never said anything about it. Welp, go ahead and be irrelevant if you please, but i'm telling you right now, this thread's purpose isn't to compare who's better than who. I made it to bring attention to GG's pathetic DMG output.
EDIT 3: unrelated,
But WTF BUNGIE, this newest patch is trash and now it won't even let me

What if the Golden gun could do critical damage against enemies (the same spots you could get criticals with normal weapons)? That way you can do a ton more damage, but still fit in with the motif of "Gunslinger" that you have to use it accurately. This would make it way more effective in PVE and would not really change it in PVP because it is a 1HK anyway.

I agree that it should do a shit ton more damage in pve but I think 5k per shot would be alright. Considering there is 3 shots and 4 if you have the helm. I don't really care how much damage they increase it to Cuz it's already a 1 shot in pvp so increase it to 50k per shot that way we can down phogoth instantly. It better yet atheon

3 通の返信Ozeeにより編集済み: 10/27/2014 1:40:51 AMyeah but they have to nerf the range or the time of it in pvp there is no super more op than this lol unlimited range long time to make kill dropping so much orb just make no sense...also giving you 4 shot with the helmet its kinda stupid even if hunter is my man I think they should reduce the time you have to kill with it or the range or change the bonus on the helmet wich is stupid...

1 返信Your kidding that shit can completely miss somebody and kill them. There is no reason that shit needs a buff.

5 通の返信You mean nerf right? They already can shoot you before they come around a wall, or after you hide behind one, I'd say instant kill bullets that can go through walls are fairly op.

5 通の返信I agree GG should do more damage but tbh if you look at FoH it suffers the same issue against some enemies at higher levels being as it damages them slightly and knocks them back a few feet. PvE is mostly using your defensive skills and doing as much damage in a single hit or over time. In fact most supers are not one hit killers at higher levels. The game tactic towards the end becomes based off playing tacticly and using skills that increase survivability. So if they buff GG they need to buff them all. As far as PvP goes this won't even effect it as it stands now all supers when connected with the enemy kill instantly so I say buff across the board damage wise...

5 通の返信Look the way i see it you and many others only post things like this because you rely to heavily on your super. To be honest i run a DEFender, Bladdancer, and sunslinger, I dont really rely on the supers for damage its nice clearing a wave of getting your back out from a corner but its not ment to be a crutch.

How about we just give Golden Gun critical damage like every other bullet based weapon in the game. No buff on the base damage but getting critical hits with it should do more damage than hitting anywhere else. Needs critical. Not buff.

Wait you're worried about PVE though? What about in PVP Where NO MATTER where you hit somebody even if it's in the foot they're instantly dead and you have 3 maybe even 4 shots I'm a warlock and if I miss with my nova bomb I'm screwed, and it happens a lot. I tend to jump up to kill people from the air, and I never think about my surroundings lol

2 通の返信I use it in a mostly utility fashion. If my primary and secondary are unloaded and there's a Praetorian or Oracle that needs to go down or a crowd that needs dealing with it's great. I've also found it handy in taking down sheilds of all colours, especially those damn Wizards. I would like it to be a little more powerful but, at least for me, it's been a boon more than a bust.

4 通の返信I can agree. Not like it can mess up PvP since its one shot as is anyway. Kinda wish golden gun was a sniper instead.

4 通の返信McGIockにより編集済み: 10/27/2014 4:30:47 AMI don't use Hunter class but If a sniper can hit A LOT more damage then golden gun then something definitely needs to be changed. Don't give up dude. And sorry but I had a little chuckle when I read Hunter and Mob Control in same sentence. Warlocks and Titans are the boss's of mob control where as Hunters should be boss at dealing damage which obviously isn't the case and should be. Edit: Fixed my spelling errors to appease the teachers pets.

3 通の返信Golden gun is perfect on PVP. Now, on PVE. The Golden Gun recharge rate is like a thousand times faster (with the attribute for faster super) than any other super. GG is one of the few supers that you can use on a Boss, think about it, what other super can you use on a boss? just warlocks and it takes a LOT to recharge and it can be easily missed. No, golden gun is not underpowered.

I think all the supers need a serious buff. I mean what's it going to do in PvP? One shot people harder? When I hulk smash or nova bomb a group of lvl 24 Axis Hobogobs and only take 2/3ds of their HP when I'm 28/29 it kills a piece of my soul little by little. Seriously why even super as a titan when I have a rocket launcher that deals more damage, has a 2 round clip, and doesn't put me with in dick smacking distance of 3 axis Minotaurs.
