I would love to see what it looked like on their screen but alas they did not save a clip of their shame.

Snipes are pretty rough right now though, any kind of incoming fire sends your reticle all the gently caress over the screen and it's extremely hard to see anything, much less hit it. I think this is generally good, though it does mean literally everyone is running shotgun so the game feels pretty one dimensional.

Petra bounties are easy as gently caress and take less than a half hour to do just FYI.

Also bring back SRL (unfuck the collision physics first)

Should have been the other way around since the blue looks better! Does the pulse have the cool trials-y looking scope?

Yes it's the best scope in the game and this is the best gun in the game

Devil's dawn, which is actually not a great crucible sniper but I was using it because it was my highest light special and it's IB.

Though it is funny to tag low light scrubs in the rear end and one shot them.

I play more PVE than PVP and love IB, it gives me a once a month break and I end up using weapons I normally don't. Probably gonna get around to doing Trials because the game has forced me play PVP in a sense. I hate Supremacy but enjoy clash and control

So apparently the game has overtime if a game is tied, and you get a medallion if it ends in a tie in IB. :downs:

I actually have one of those with Max stability and this feels so much better. The HCr fucks people's aim up completely to max flinch on the first burst. I win so many ones with it if I can get the first shot, which guess what I do all the time because of snapshot and the highlighting. Highlighting on a sight that doesn't suck is OP.

I have HCR on my waltz, and i feel like that perk has won me some fights that by all rights I shouldn't have won. It's loving amazing on pulses.

It's both thrilling and terrifying.
Best PvP primaries for me right now are Adept Blind Perdition and Clever Dragon with HCR/CB/Smallbore or Braced Frame. Both feel hilariously unfair versus other guns.

Grasp has better base stats than CD, but can't roll HCR.

Yeah p much. IB week when the pulse is dropping is gonna be lit

The dragon is probably better in terms of pure TTK because of the archetype, but having intrinsic snapshot to counter the handling hit from HCr and the target highlighting makes the aBP v v g.

Clever Dragon does indeed wreck my poo poo every time it shoots at me.

But I haven't run up against any trials sweaties with the perdition yet.

What perks are you running on BP out of curiosity, since you're much much better at PvP than me? I'm running Smooth Ballistics, Hand-Laid, HCR, CB. Ideal?

That's what I'm running. I've seen waaay better players than me running that, or running Smart Drift, smallbore, HCr, CB.

The latter gets you more range with basically the same stability. But I cant handle the 21 round mag, 24 lets you do 2 sets of 4-burst action to handle 2 dudes at once.

No worries SRL is coming back in December and they've had to change the entire physics engine to unfuck the collisions, just something we'll have to live with.

They had better because I do not have it! Also I bought the RoI OST and it came with a free redemption for an emblem and I went through all the steps and was told it'd be waiting for me with the vendor but it doesn't seem to be. Has anyone had this problem?
