I just watched a video on bf1 that talked about how awesome pistols were. How they felt smooth and accurate. Get on destiny and it's half that lol. I don't hate pvp in destiny but I don't care about it. It's flaws make it hard to constantly play unlike pve. Ghost bullets hopefully will be addressed and tuned properly. I think bloom needs to be tuned specifically to tlw, separately from the rest of the hand cannons. Granted we don't want them to take on snipers or scouts however consistency is what's needed. I've used almost every hand cannon I get my hands on. And it doesn't matter which one I use. They all spit out a ghost bullet or 2 or 3. It's enough to really frustrate the hell out of you. You see a guy from a safe distance away charging you with a shotgun. You fire one time, headshot! This is it this guy is going down. You aim for the head and fire, body shot! It's ok just as long as the next shot is a headshot. The guy is getting in too close. You carefully pace the next shot, it misses. Guardian down! I believe this is why people are asking for shotgun nerfs. There's nothing wrong with them. The close range primaries are so inconsistent it kind of forces you to use special weapons or sticky grenades if you got them. When my shots hit I use hand cannons. If they aren't I'll run around with Saladins vigil in close to mid range engagements. And a lot of times I use it more.

From my experience of using a variety of hand cannons, nothing seems off about them. I don't expect to land my shots terribly accurately at range, but I do expect to deal damage. When I am up close however I do land my shots. Bloom is not an issue for me. Hand cannons are close-range weapons just like auto-rifles.

Ghost Bullets don't happen on Hand Cannons until you get to long range. Medium RoF Hand Cannons are competing with Snipers and need to be brought back to Medium Range. They are pistols meant for Close Range, not Scout Rifles.

Another miss-informed OP. If bloom was removed there would be 1 gun in the crucible. Its called Handcannon, and then only one would be used Palindrome. It would easily beat every single gun in the game. Were sitting in a spot where handcannons rule the competitive and most of the casual crucible because they are "still" the most effective gun to use with the easiest optimal time to kill and people still want them to be buffed? are you crazy? They don't need a buff. But maybe an adjustment on max range. 62 is quite high, and makes all over HC's pail in comparison. That's all. We do get into the scary territory that if we nerf range on Luna, Thorn is dominate once again.

The technical term should be rng bullets. Yes, everything in this game is rng based, even your bullets. Just plain stupid. Fubar.

I can't use HC anymore. First shot hits and every consecutive shot, no damage. Yet I'm killed/outgunned by Pallindrome, Hawkmoon, Eyasluna, etc. The enemy fires 3 shots, gets 3 hits and the kill. They're not pacing their shots, I know how HC fire. I just don't get it.

I posted my question elsewhere but I will ask it here. Does explosive rounds negate the effect of ghost bullets. I ask because of the game regestering the explosion itself.

I like how some people say that triple wreck was too far. That's funny because he wasn't that far away though. That is actually close to medium range on that part of burning shrine. If he stood out where the sun was and soph stood at the other end, then I'd say he was too far away. He was in the right range. Anywhere closer is almost matador range especially if the guy slides. Hand cannons including tlw should shoot farther than any shotgun to compete. Otherwise why use a hand cannon when shotguns will kill faster in those ranges? Do we have to be practically standing on top of someone in order for the bullets to hit?

I watched another video where the guy was hitting every shot in range.

Ghost bullets? When people cannot aim, miss the target , then say ghost bullets?
