Get rid of the -blam!- hand cannon and shotgun meta!

Like seriously these damned guns have been meta since D1 beta. Like nothing can counter it either! Used all but a nuclear assault and get -blam!- blasted by these damned guns! To those saying skill issue, it's not a skill issue. It's Bungie making certain -blam!- useful and others useless.

  • I love how everyone keeps saying skill issue when hand cannons have the most forgiving aim assist in the game, same with shotguns.

    • I barely see shotguns anymore, it's all fusions and some snipes. Also, shotguns are super easy to counter if you have a fusion, smg, sidearm, or your own shotgun. The new hunter duskfield gloves pretty much completely nullify shotguns as well.

      • First off shotguns arent even the most used special right now, it’s fusion rifles. And second, let’s say HCs get nerfed “because they’re so “GaMe BrEaKiNg”, do you really want a Multimach/Shayuras/Tarrabah meta? Cause it sure looks like it.

        Do you realize that we are currently in a fusion rifle meta?

        • Hmmmm funny enough I can use practically anything else and still beat hcs so maybe it's a skill issue your having. Went flawless last season with sidearm and sniper. Went flawless with jade rabbit once Crushing hc users in ib this week with a pulse rifle. Smgs have been destroying hc users too. It's legit all about how you play, use the right positioning and awareness and its easy to counter a hc player.

            • Pulse Rifles are easier to use and some even have a faster TTK. Sidearms, Smgs in close quarters shred. Certain Autos can compete just fine. Fusions at the moment are pretty much better than shotguns. They have more range and the rapid fire ones can be spammed. Snipers are still quite the threat especially with the changes that where made. Yeah the meta is the same as ever but that's the players fault mostly. I just love Handcannons whether they're bad or good. I hate fusions so I use shotguns.

                • I would say hand cannons are still the top primary, even if some smg's and pulses are close to them, but their performance isn't the same on every map, but shotguns are definitely isn't even close to be a meta weapon, only LoW are strong, they still kills and still has the best usage rate, but I'd rather play against shotgun ape rather than face a good fusion rifle or a sniper rifle user

                  • Change the whole special ammo economy. The majority of special weapons are too oppressive to stay as they are when it comes to ammo. You shouldn't be able to effectively play with just special ammo like you can now

Used all but a nuclear assault and gett -blam!- blasted by these damned gun![/quote] Not the players fault for the meta, its Bungie. All if not 99% of the pvp maps are all Close Quarter Combat maps with a few spots that have some range but debris litters the hall making handcannons the best choice for that engagement. Bungie needs to invest in more open maps or redesign pvp all together. At least in D1 where had big maps where you could use pikes, tanks, and sparrows to get around the area. They wanted it to be more like Call of Duty style maps and its hurting pvp.
