Everything can be called free kills in this game, this attitude is so painfully biased its not even funny Translation:"My favorite weapons take skill, the rest don't!"

The problem isn't Redrix or pulses in general. The problem is Shotguns.

Or, you could just get gud kid.

Don't let the half wits deter you. It most assuredly needs several more nerfs. Blind fools still want to hate on HC as Redrix has 591,191 (16%) kills in Trials as of this moment vs the 90,611 (2%) kills Rose has accumulated so far into the weekend. 4m kills on endless vale vs Roses 400k. That's why it has 4,022,974 (17.5%) on solitude to Exalted Truths 357k (1.6%) or Crimils 323k (1.4%) on Solitude. That's why total pulse kills in competitive settings completely dwarf HC for months. Cause HC is the best. Pulses only kill faster with less range fall off, bigger mags, higher ease of use, and more forgiveness for missed/body shots. Game has slowed to a boring crawl of Redrix simulator. Pulses themselves have completely outperformed every other primary for months in terms of player choice and total kills.

You're running hand cannon, give me a break.

Nah

You're using nothing but short-range weapons and expected a weapon that can hit you at range to suddenly not do that just because of the change they did? I'd also say running a fusion is more of a free kill weapon than a pulse is seeing as how it takes 1 shot from it to kill someone if they are close enough. The pulse also isn't hard to counter if you actually use a weapon that can hit at range instead of hand cannon and fusion rifle.

The nerf to the gun itself wasn't big however the archetype got a huge nerf, basically halving the buff it got last time which made the gun meta as is. It's a strong gun but I don't know if it's broken as something like ace of spades. I think the stock roll is just way too -blam!- good and lone wolf is broken.

It's no more a free kill than any other pulse with similar stats. Hell, most if not all of it's base stats are lower than the BXR, and if there's 2-3 things all the comp weapons have in common, it's either a unique frame (Riposte for example is a lightweight despite having the ROF and bag of a deep mag frame), they exchange origin traits for stocks which allow more leeway with barrel/ mag perks, and damn near every roll you'll get will be a good one for pvp, though in the case of Rose, I wish it had good rolls for PvE. Point is, it's MEANT to be one of those "best in class" weapons. The only way to "bring it in line" with other 450s would be to remove the stock, but then it would basically just be a worse BXR if you don't count the traits, inevitably leading to a nerf to the BXR to make Redrix look better, or a buff to Redrix that greatly mitigates the nerf to it when losing the stock perks. A nerf that could easily be implemented on other comp weapons. But sure, let's nerf Redrix some more by removing the stocks. In exchange, I want a Redrix with Arrowhead Brake, Accurized Rounds, Zen Moment, Desperado, Range MW, the weapons base stability and range both to be increased by 10, and I want the AA increased by 5 to match the BXR. Alternatively, give me a Rose with Hammer forged, Accurized Rounds, traits it's not supposed to have like Keep Away and Magnificent Howl, Heavy Grip, and I want it's stability to be increased by 25 to match all the stats on the roll I currently have (Void Elemental Capacitor+Explosive Payload), and I can't remember if I had a range or stability MW. Not important. Deal? Redrix gets nerfed, but I get a god roll, or Redrix gets nerfed and I get an impossible God roll on a weapon I WANT to use, but never have a reason to.

Does anyone know if they fixed being able to get the curated roll if you got rose instead?

Oh dear. 5 less stability has left it unusable. Edit. Meant handling

I picked up another from Shaxx when I already had 1 from the 7 placement matches i.e. i was not subject to the bug where other people got Rose Does this mean anyone can get the OG fixed roll from Shaxx without doing the 7 placement matches in Comp?
