Hawksaw and Friends
Here's a question for you readers. Did you know that every pulse rifle in the game right now is a potential 3-burst? Yep, even Grasp of Malok with the right perks. Did you also know that the SUROS pulse rifles naturally have the highest stability of any pulse rifle, and can spawn in with Hammer Forged AND Rifled Barrel?
Do you care? If the answer is yes, then I'm in the same boat. If the answer is no, then you probably use these weapons. Now, tell me something. Why would I use a Spare Change that requires 3 bursts to kill a Guardian when a Grasp of Malok, which has over twice the rate of fire, can also 3-burst?
This is shitty game design. Pulse rifles like the Hawksaw should NOT require the same amount of bursts to kill as a Red Death and those like it, especially when the SUROS pulse rifles have God-tier stability and spawn in with the best perks in the game. I'm tired of seeing these long-range killing machines everywhere in the Crucible. I see them more than Doctrine, which is saying something.

2 RepliesI've noticed similar things with hand cannons. I need 3 shots to kill with most rof hand cannons. Only thing that changes is number of crit shots required.

I use a Skorri Revenge a lot (grasp archtype) even though it kills a touch quicker than my pdx45 , I find myself going back to pdx because I can one burst then throwing knife kill more reliably. (Just gets over a damage threshold) There are subtle differences like this that can come into play.

It took me all this time to realize the reason why I like suros weapons is because they always have high stability. As opposed to say hakke weapons. Without stability perks it feels like my controller's gonna shake out of my hands.

First it was secondaries, now it's primaries. Make up your mind lmfao.

Looking or comparing weapon stats on destiny is a waste of time. Like you said spare change has what 3/4 times the impact of a PDX or hawk saw yet either one of them guns would easily beat you using a spare change.

Spare Change.25 can two burst kill... It does 35 damage per precision shot.
