Why a grenade launcher?

With the new pinnacle weapon coming in season of the forge, I was hoping for something that would bring skill to the sandbox. Some sort or reward for aiming properly. Looks like that wont be the case. Another season of mindless macro skating apes are inbound. The Mountaintop is essentially a mini rocket lancher that spawns with ammo every life. I forsee... ape...shoot floor relatively near enemy... melee...repeat. I thought, this would be a great time to encourage sniping and change the meta from body shotting plebs to people with actual gunskill. Guess I was wrong. I cant be the only one that feels this way. Winge winge, moan moan ect.

        • I was a little disappointed when they announced the Mountaintop at first but its better than the pinnacle weapon being a shotgun... I guess. Some people are going to like it and we got an aiming weapon this season so we should probably withhold judgement until the grenade launcher actually comes out and we see exactly how it works. I'm just hoping for a bad ass agressive sniper rifle with good handling and adequate damage to be in the black armory. And maybe a really good scout rifle too but I don't see the scout rifle happening because it would have to be almost game breaking to keep up with the way they are saying this grenade launcher is going to work. I could see a sniper though because their high risk, high reward nature will allow for people to still get their rockety grenade launcher kills if they are close enough. Snipers just better not be broken again next season or it will be time for a mutiny. Just kidding, no mutiny. Just please don't let the Mountaintop turn into another telesto situation in terms of skill. No one is better than anyone else with a telesto.

          • Needs to be a heavy... With the broadsword, Luna/not forgotten, we need a heavy. That way we can go into crucible with a full set of pinnacle weapons.

          • I'm not sure why you would want a grenade launcher that doesn't go around corners. The whole point of me using fighting lion for instance is because it actually gives you options in combat besides hide and pick at opponents while everything is on cooldown.

            • I'm cool with the grenade launcher. But I would've loved a sniper and true it would've encouraged sniping and crucible in comp would've been much better honestly. And I guess quick play cause they're allowing some steps to be done in quick play which I think is pretty cool. But i think a simple fix to snipers would just be giving them more ammo than shotguns.... but I mean idk I just work here.... syke

            • Whichever way the went it’d be an off meta weapon Pulses and hand cannons dominate PvP at the moment from a primary weapon standpoint. Also just for a second, imagine the salt, the crying, the rage, the “I’m quitting this bs game” posts etc etc if they’d made a pinnacle shotgun.

              • They probably thought everyone uses colony we might as well do a fable quest weapon around a grenade launcher . I'd sooner like you said a scout as they are under used so make an absolute monster one to make scouts viable again

              • I have militias birthright with quickdraw,range finder and proximity grenades and a masterwork of handling. I got it like a month ago and just now using it because of the new pinnacle weapon for comp fabled. After like 20 games I concluded it is absolute horseshit. If you miss it doesn't do shit. If you hit it sometimes 1hks. Idk if I need more practice with it. But I -blam!-ing hate it over a shotty.

                  • Yeah not a good idea on bungie's part. A one hit primary grenade launcher is not what the crucible needed, especially when this is the only one shot special weapon that spawns with several shots (shotguns/snipers/fusions spawn with 2).

                    • Dont worry, you have to have like 1000 kills with a grenade launcher to get it. So think of all the grenade spam. Fighting loins everywhere

                      • why any heavy tbh? the heavy slot in this game has been taken over by exotics (for me anyway). I only sometimes use something else. but it's either Whisper, or Sleeper, or 1k voices.

                        • I was thinking something like: [b]Perilous[/b] Medium impact, medium rof Shortgaze Snapshot, and drop mag Special perk [b][u]Minute of Angle[/u][/b]: two precision kills from 20 meters or more and within 10 seconds refill the magazine. Your next shot deals 100% additional damage. Kills with the extra damage round cause all enemies in a 10 meter radius to take precision damage.

                        • I'll take shotgun meta over sniper meta any day. I have counter play to shotguns. Cerberus, fusions, and lunas. Snipers are just turn a corner and die everywhere. That was the worst in d1. I think most things are pretty balanced atm. I see lots of diversity. Except scouts, those still suck.

                            Everyone has an opinion on this "rocket launcher" already but the truth is, we won't truly know until people have it in their hands...also, there will be other new weapons, possibly even things like last word, and some sandbox changes coming so we don't know what kind of meta it's really gonna be...it may not sound great at the moment, but we honestly don't know what it's going to be like yet...maybe it ends up being a cooky and situational weapon in a meta that really doesn't favor it, we'll see...plus, the thing explodes the second it hits anything, so you're gonna HAVE to be accurate with it and I'm betting the blast radius isn't anything like a rocket honestly...you might end up seeing more people choosing to go with sticky grenades, it might not be as bad as you think, it might be, but it might not too

                            • I thought it was weird at first but if you think about it, its essentially a light rocket launcher. Its odd sure, but it sounds cool in how it works. Im eager to at least try it out. Different weapons for different play styles are what makes Destiny so magical. There will always be players who fight cheap. But its okay. It makes the fair playing fights that much more fun

                              • Have you played the new season yet? Have you tried out the new forged weapons? No? So stfu and quit crying you entitled brat! Try it, then offer your criticism. Bitching and moaning about something before you've even given it a chance, screams ignorance. Fact.

                                • Maybe because they wanted to do something different instead of just giving out the obvious choices. It could be really good you don't know yet. You have 3 pinnacle weapons to chase so don't see that as a bad thing.
