What I'd give to have my Hitmark, Ricochet, Opening Shot, Rampage Duke Mk. 44 back right now...
Or my near-max range Blast Furnace...
Or my Le Monarque-lite Subtle Calamity...
Or my Martyr's Retribution...
Or my god roll Line in the Sand now that linear fusions are actually getting a balance pass soon...
They're still in my vault of course, but they're pretty much useless in any content beyond basic crucible.

Why not give them a run out in a Master Nightfall for a challenge? 🤣

All of those weapons have a similar counterpart that isn't sunset which can get similar, if not the same, perks. Only exception is Blast Furnace unless I'm unaware of a newer 4-burst pulse

The good counterparts for the Duke either have a drop rate that doesn't make playing a game mode I don't enjoy worth it, or is in a game mode that sounds like the most unfun PvP mode in the game. I've found a Biting Winds that is pretty fun as far as bows go. The thing is it's kinetic and Subtle Calamity was energy. The only energy precision bow that hasn't been sunset is Point of the Stag, and honestly it felt like a lightweight bow masquerading as a precision bow when I tried using it. Speaking of lightweight bows, I want to like them, but every single one of them I've had felt worse to use than every precision bow I've used. Martyr's Retribution boils down more to aesthetics than anything. I loved its design, firing sound and the fact that it was solar. It's one and only replacement is ugly, doesn't have a pleasant firing sound, and is void (of which most grenade launchers seem to be). My Line in the Sand has no replacement because none of the remaining linear fusions can roll the same perk combo it has. That and it had a beautiful design. Granted I do like the design of the other linear fusions as well. Line in the Sand's design simply stood out as being a little bit less of a retexture, and just looked better in general. The only weapon I've found a suitable replacement for so far is my Blast Furnace. I still miss it, but despite being a different archetype Stars in Shadow has filled its place nicely.

[quote]They're still in my vault of course[/quote] My Duke still slaps in PvP too, but I can't exactly take it into Iron Banner and expect to do well, or anywhere else in the game really either.
