Removing heavy weapons from competitive pvp
What are your thoughts community on
-slowing ability regen down slightly
-bringing lower weapon usage up by increasing the benefit of using them, cone / dmg and accuracy,
-remove heavy weapons from competitive playlists? IE trials, IB and comp and leave them in more “fun” playlists
What are your honest thoughts?

Heavy is needed to make teams move. Wanna camp and hide? Give up a massive advantage

11 RepliesMy honest thought is why play a game with space magic then ask for it to be nerfed? Why ask for the skill range to be narrowed in end game PVP? Right now I’ve got to be proficient using all my weapons whether they be primary, secondary or heavy and I’ve got to be skilled with my grenades, melees and super. That’s 6 things that I need to be good at not including map placement and movement. You want to slow down half of them and then remove 1. That leaves 2, primaries and secondaries. That’s not adding skill that’s making the game simpler because you have less things to think about. By all means ask for a none end game PvP playlist that concentrates on gun play. But keep it out of end game where you should have to be proficient with every skill in the book.

Edited by Magiscene: 9/8/2024 5:20:27 AMI’m not a fan of this personally. I don’t play pvp that much anymore to protest the changes like checkmate increasing the skill gap and nerfing ability cooldowns and nuking special ammo. I also don’t think removing heavy from any mode is justified. If you couldn’t capture heavy then yeah you get punished big time but only temporarily. It’s not like mayhem where it’s most of the game. Primary only is boring did we not experience d2 vanilla? I like having a variety of ways to slay with and changes like this will kill pvp for good for me. I’m in the minority I know but you asked for honesty so just my two cents.

2 RepliesI wouldn’t hear you say these things if in the majority of your games you and your team got the heavy… it is what it is , skill issue. I always keep an eye on heavy timer and location and if I can’t secure it I sure as hell try to interrupt the enemy with all my abilities and try to kill the ones that grabbed it right away. Its just a part of the game… play more for heavy its super important it can turn the tide in a game. It adds extra fun. Even if I play with friends; often times they completely ignore heavy and the enemy grabs it and boom some guy with Hammerhead with 4th times/tally kills like 5-7 of us. But I have that roll too ;) and I will try to do the same The best advice is really to “git gud” or more delicately put try to get or protect the heavy. You’re not in losing matches every game, that’s not possible.

3 RepliesNo. Ability regen is fine and maybe if you can't get to the heavy ammo first perhaps you should try to get there first. Just a thought. Heavy ammo is the power weapon. It's like finding the rocket launcher in Halo. Picking up a minigun or a missile pod. The Gravity Hammer was also fun. Heavy ammo rewards players for being better than you, and punishes you for sucking.

This game is about to die. Trials will cease. PvP will become obsolete. Nobody will play an MMO without regular content drops. However Bungie will make a new game. So there’s that 🤷♂️

1 ReplyEssentially, give us the original checkmate iteration! PvP was fun & had skill ceiling then

idc about trials I don't play it, but for quickplay there really shouldn't be more than one heavy spawn a game. at the very most two.

7 RepliesIt’s one round, it’s not that big of a problem. They really should take guns, abilities and supers away because they don’t deserve anyone’s data.
