[quote]The gun has perfect hip fire accuracy, dominates long range since its a scout rifle. It also has increased rate of fire to 150rpm when hip firing, so it's strong in medium to close range encounters too, not to mention that since you are incentivized heavily to hip fire with it, you have your radar up constantly while using it too.
This is all before even mentioning it's perk, which gives a stacking buff to damage for getting precision hits, which can take it from a 3 shot kill to 2 shot if full stacked or with an additional damage buff. (And if you get a roll with vorpal you can 3 shot supers)
Like with all this is it just me, or does this thing just blow literally every other primary weapon out of the water. Full disclosure, I don't have DMT and can't get it yet because i dont want to shell out $30 bucks for the deluxe since you cant get old season passes otherwise.
But I am really curious, what do other people think? Do I just not know how to play around it, or is there really no countering it aside from shotgun rushing?[/quote]
Yes and no. The thing is the gun is insanely hard to balance without making the gun garbage, as shown as how dramatic the usage of DMT dropped on Console. I think they’re trying to avoid a Last Word situation where input majorly varies. I do however believe Vorpal should be removed on DMT. A gun shouldn’t three tap any super in the game, let alone a primary at any range.

Even if it dropped in usage on console it is still one of the most popular and effective weapons in pvp in general, because according to destiny tracker, DMT is the second most used primary weapon in both quickplay and comp pvp for usage, and the highest kills in comp of any primary (second most in quickplay). Additionally yea it may be difficult to balance a weapon, but when one has such supreme ease of use, and a very competitive TTK at any range I feel that warrants a change. Also, while the Last Word changes did hit it hard on console vs pc, it's still in the top 10 of primaries in quickplay and top 5 in comp for usage, so it's also very viable in general.

The Destiny Tracker usage rates are skewed, because its a combination of console and PC kills, with PC having the higher population. And when DMT is so strong on that one input and 90% of them use DMT, then of course it would be number 2. And Bungie has literally stated on record, that DMT’s usage on console dropped dramatically after the nerf, which is the sole reason DMT got buffed(only for controller). You can’t take the usage rates seriously after Bungie combined the pools

由Professor F編輯： 12/2/2021 3:29:55 AMSo it's overly strong on PC then, which with cross play being the default I don't understand the point of separating console vs PC, we share the same gameplay space. Like just because it may be bad on console that doesn't make it balanced on PC or mean that it shouldn't get changed. If anything that's indicative of how strong it is that even with minimal usage on console it's still so highly used in general. I'm not sure what your point is.
