Trace Rifles need a hefty damage buff. They've fallen far behind.

1 ReplyLots of guns need a buff especially in GM or Ultimate. Even with tech sec bonus it took me a full mag of MIDA to break a orange bar shield. It makes no sense. Even abilities need a buff. They push the difficulty to a point where we need broken stuff to have a modicum of fun.

I think the last time I seriously used a trace rifle was the Stasis one from the Riven season. Other than that, it was just doing the catalysts for all the exotic ones.
-
Yeah, don’t think they have been that great for awhile now. Could use a buff for sure. ?i also would like to see snipers get body shot damage upgrade too.

Here's some buff ideas All trace rifles 20% red bars buff, 10% major and champions, +80 ammo on bricks pickup For exotics: Coldheart +20% base (it deals less base damage than other exotic trace rifles and its max damage is only like 20% above them) and 10% max increase Prometheus: Killing red bars refunds 5 ammo, increased scorch against majors tier and above Ruinous: increased orb duration by 5 ammo, orb debuff lasts 3 more seconds Ager: Super buff increased from 50% to 100%% because tbh the super mode is only good for the stasis subclasses due to how bad they are. Its useless otherwise. Navigator: When you have woven deal 15% extra damage Divinity: 100% damage buff (this puts it slightly below legendary trace rifles. It needs this when theres better debuffs now) 5 less shots to activate bubble Wavesplitter:: catalyst adds orbs on multi kills. Microcosm: Gets the overall buff but also a 15% boss damage buff.

2 RepliesI’m just out here wishing that they would buff 450 autos in PvE☹️

Yup I want to use navigator but it does no damage to anything above normal mode. :/

Half the stuff in this game need buffs. So many titan exotics are trash for example. And you can shoot through bubble in Destiny Rising. Destiny 2 is just a headache for no reason. Terrible management is all it is. Game has so much potential.
-
Agree… feel everything needs a buff at this point… power is so much fun!

1 ReplyEdited by Dopamine: 9/20/2025 1:58:55 AManything that could be considered a primary needs insane buffs, including trace rifles. double special has ruled this game for way too long

1 ReplyTrueeeeee. Rocket pulses and sidearms are eating good while traces continue to starve. But I don’t see how buffing them doesn’t just make them special machine guns. I would prefer a massive rework, giving them different archetypes. Maybe a trace rifle that needs to charge up and then it shoots a wide high recoil Death Star beam? A trace that does no damage but pushes you opposite where it shoots? Even a trace that locks on and the beam bends?

Tried using Prometheus Lens the other day. Tickle tickle. Back in vault.

I feel you. Ribbontail sucks.

Bungie would rather nerf everything else since they are averse to buffing under performers.
