I also think they'll up the lethality a little bit on some underused weapons.

Didn't the vidoc have a guy mention sidearms in passing? I think you're right, they're definitely going to get used, and not just for some broken special ammo type exploit. They're dope now with a little practice, it's just that the meta rules all.

Psi Alba IV is a rad blue that goes under the radar. I have a CB/BF roll as well and it's p fun to run around with. I plan to invite people to do "blues only" private matches, just to whip out that gun and play like nothing's different for me.

Another blue to keep an eye out for, if you like dorking around with blue weapons, is the Mos Azoth IV hand cannon. Eyasluna impact/RoF archetype, can roll Send It and Rangefinder/Life Support. Nearly vertical recoil.

There are about 12 real guns in destiny they just dress them all up a bit to get the 42,069 we can use.

What I'm saying is that sidearm will do the same dps as whatever class of sidearm it is based on.

Nice. No OAS is a bummer but still worth keeping. Good roll.



OAS, smallbore, full auto, range finder. It's basically a burst fire scout. :v:

Heck yes. I've got that roll with HCR instead of FA and it rips on big maps. Alternate perk in the Rangefinder column is Unflinching.

Just buy the cheap poo poo armor from the vanguard and dismantle. Not ideal but who gives a gently caress about glimmer.

Only emojis can express my pure, simple stupidity.

I haven't played since they dropped the new POE with exciting weekly modifiers that change

Have they added anything since?

I pre-ordered rise of iron because I'm a big dumb and even though this game sucks I like the gunplay too much. poo poo between the initial game/season pass and subsequent releases I'm like $160 deep in this garbage?

They will if they limited drops from boxes and stowed capacity in pvp.

Waiting three minutes or so for 3 sniper rounds and only starting with 4 shots and not bringing nlb and ur to yr 3 would put a crimp in the special maining style.

They can't get rid of those, there isn't going to be a Y3 cutoff like last time. All they can do is nerf them.

IIRC last time they commented on NLB they felt that its high skill floor balances it. UR doesn't have that going for it so it's going to have to get cut down a peg or three.

NLB is fine exactly how it is, you should either feel shame or awe when you're killed by it and this is mostly the case

Yeah I think nlb is fine too for the most part. UR is aids though.

If bungie dont do something to fix the shotgun meta they need their heads read its been 2 loving years of the same bullshit.

Shotguns are mostly fine, snipers are mostly fine. The issue is that despite continually choking off the supply of special ammo people are still maining them and there's too many OHK encounters in the game.

Either cut the ammo in half or come up with some new mechanic to slow things down. Fewer crates per game, lose ammo on death, restrict your loadout to two available weapons.. something.

Or turn all specials into wet noodles so bad that no one ever uses them again!
