Hard Light Buff

Please, buff the Hardlight. It's a lackluster weapon that doesn't deserve to be called exotic. Horrible handling, lackluster damage. and the elements changing are useless. The damage drops off is also useless if we can't even aim properly. There is no point to the perk at all. I suggest removing the horrible handling and substituting the weapon perk for something that will help make it better exotic. Or at least maybe just remove it from the exotic category and place it are rare. Truly a disappointing weapon for 3 years straight.

    Do you have the better handling Mod activated on your gear? Crouching also works better. Also why we still messin around with Mida and Hard Light. May as well bring the Gjallahorn back as well. New game, new gear.

    • I did a crucible match with a couple other people with hard lights in a tight corridor type match. It excelled there because with multiple rounds from multiple guns ricocheting off walls it can control a corridor pretty well. This forces enemy players to use a different route where you could swap to a different weapon and finish them off, hard scoping when you know where they're coming from while other players keep the pressure up on the first hallway. I'm not a good PvP player by any means, but I've found that being creative with overlooked guns helps me improve more than simply following the meta.

      • Hardlight isnt that hard to handle once you have an energy weapon stability mod. As for buffs, I would prefer it function like the Borealis. Holding down the reload button to switch elements is a great perk. I just wished Hardlight had the same feature.

          HardLight isn't even exotic anymore. You can change elements.. Yup, you can on every single Elemental weapon. Only good thing is it doesn't cost 5k glimmer a pop. It has no damage fall off. That's cool, too bad you can't hit a darn thing with it outside of about 10 feet.l that's to the good awful shake. It has disco dubstep light show bullets.. That's exotic I guess? Just about any run of the mill Omolon auto does everything the HardLight does, but 100x better. They had a chance to rework and make this weapon amazing in D2, but I think it falls short. Being able to change elements on the fly (sort of) is cool, but it's just another gimmick like the light show bullets. The chrome camo is sexy AF though. Bring Back Monte Carlo plz :)

          • Maybe slightly more stability and it'd be alright. I'd also like to see the element change accessible outside of the menu. Maybe crouching and holding reload button while mag is full could cycle the elements?

            • Hard Light's power is fine and it's element swap perks. It's that damn shake that makes the gun useless at mid range and beyond. I honestly think Bungie intensified the shake for it in D2. Bungie really should nerf the severity of its shake so that it can compete with other LEGENDARY autos.

              I used Hard Light in the NF this week, and it was beastly. I used it all through D1. I was on a fireteam in D1 that used Hard Lights to beat King's Fall. The stability is the trade off for no fall-off. Once you get used to using it, it is a great weapon.

              • Problem with buffing Hard Light stability. It has no range drop off. Hard Light would undoubtly become the best Auto if it had zero recoil

              • It's fun to use in PvE. The stability should be as the stat suggests but it's fun to use.

                Why are people defending this gun? It has no advantage over a scathelocke or a martyr.

                • It's the stability that makes this gun garbage. Why use this "exotic" when I can use almost any other legendary auto rifle, and perform better with it. A real shame. I was really looking forward to using this gun. It's just not fun to use at all.

                • Are you kidding? That gun has always been amazing, never had a problem with the screen shake and could land headshots at range with it. Was my first and favorite exotic gun in D1, sadly have yet to be reunited with Hardlight in D2. If you think Hardlight needs a buff then maybe it's not the gun for you kid, it's a man's gun, it is a beast

                    Hardlight should have reverse damage drop off. You can't use it at range because it moves around so much.

                  • Mega bump! Have you ever gotten 2 magnets and turned them around the opposite way they're attracted and slowly tried to push them together? Feels cool doesn't it? Yeah thats what trying to aim hardlight is like! I swear its got anti-aim assist!

                  • I really love Hardlight. I am wanting so bad for the screen shake to be gone and reduce the recoil massively I want and need to use Hardlight but I wont use it in this messed up state.
