I picked up Shadowkeep on release, but haven’t played Destiny 2 since I got max power in the vanilla version. Upon my return I noticed that everybody was using “The Recluse” so I figured that I’d get it myself since it’s apparently best in slot. I went into survival and game after game not only did I recognize how bad a trials like game mode is, but the fact that every gun I was dying to was the exact same. Died to... Hand cannon? Luna’s Howl SMG? The Recluse Shotgun? Dusk Rock Bones Fusion Rifle? Erentil FR4 Scout Rifle? Bygones Oddly enough, nothing else can seem to beat those weapons in a straight up gun fight. I figured, maybe the players deserve to do well since they earned those guns, but then I noticed every survival game was 1 hunter 2 titans 2 hunters 1 titan 3 hunters 3 titans Let’s not forget that if you see a Titan in PvP they of course will be wearing the “One Eyed Mask” the only exotic that is unarguably the most game breaking armorpiece for crucible. On top of all of that, I play a warlock. In regards to crucible, I’ve been at a disadvantage since the character select To sum up my point here, Destiny 2 seems to be nothing more than what you have currently equipped. The game boasts versatility and loadout, but maintains a clear cut and dry best in slot setup. Crucible is a complete waste of time if you aren’t playing a Hunter or a Titan with the exotic helmet and own one of the 5 best weapons in the game. Crucible players are only as good as their guns.
