Momentum Control is not fun anymore. If you aren't using a Trace Rifle then you cannot hope to compete with those who do. Every second Guardian is running Prometheus Lens or Wavesplitter and are able to kill someone in less time than it takes to aim a weapon with Snapshot Sights. This is fine, or it would be if there were any other weapon type that could also do so. Eriana's and Sniper Rifles (and Arbalest can't even fire in time before you're dead) can't even compete in the same way because you actually have to hit them with your singular shot, of which you have about two of (4 for Eriana's), whereas a Trace Rifle can just wipe a whole team, twice, on one magazine, then loot the bodies and do it [i]again.[/i]
I can't fathom why primary got nerfed. One-tapping with a Scout Rifle or a 110 Hand Cannon used to be the highlight of the gamemode, weapons that seldom ever shone in the Crucible were given a shot at glory, and now they once more take the back burner in favor of literally just one weapon.
I was [i]really[/i] looking forward to doing my Jade Rabbit catalyst when I saw Momentum Control was coming back. Now I am more tilted than I have ever been, (mostly because I got spawn killed four times in a row by one Wavesplitter, who killed me in the first place, but that's splitting hairs.) at any game. Which drives me nuts because being tilted at a game I'd rather love is rather bothersome.
I get it, it's a week long tag match just for kicks and giggles, but that's my point; if you aren't Tracing, you aren't giggling.

I had the same idea; go somewhere where the Rabbit might at least be on a level playing field with HCs and DMT (the Rabbit needs a serious buff IMO; it's meant to be THE PvP scout, along with MIDA, and both are worse than DMT, a fair few legendary scouts, and most exotic and legendary HCs). Alas, it was not to be, with at least 3 traces on each team with TTKs under 0.5s at any range (with the exception of Divinity, that one takes longer and so no one uses it). I stuck with the Rabbit whilst I got the Season Challenge done, but I won't be coming back to this mode unless traces get a nerf. The issue is that elsewhere, traces (bar Divinity, which saves itself with team-based utility) are a styeaming pile of trash. I've seen suggestions that Effigy benefits hugely from the Seaonal Mod combo of Decree and Accelerant, but then you can't take Breach and Clear, and irrespective will lose those Mods next Season....

We’re you here for the reign of Jade Rabbit?

Sounds like a ton of fun honestly

Use any fusion rifle. Youre welcome.

That mode was never fun. The mode is litteraly CoD. Why would want to be a mortal and not a guardian???? Trace rifles are not that strong except in that mode. Perfect mode for all the fools who said that abilities are too much and being spammed. Go play CoD mode so you then come on here and complain about it.

Yes, momentum control, arcade mode that’s been unbalanced from the beginning. Trace rifles were always good before in the mode, it’s just the fall of 1 tap primaries and scavenger mods that they are viable.

4 RepliesJade Rabbit still 1 taps... Scouts and HC were "running" momentum control before. Looks like this season its trace rifles, which you hardly ever see in normal modes. Grenade launchers are fun in there too btw
