I got a Braced Frame/HCR/Rangefinder distant star and it was no fun. It hits hard and all but braced frame decimates the magazine size and a gun with that kind of fire rate is zero fun without full auto.

Welp Linear Comp/Reinforced Barrel/Field Scout/Rangefinder Silvered Dread. Thanks Iron Banner. The reinforced could be perfect balance, but PB is useless on this thing, right?

PB is probably the best perk on that column. Stability isn't useless on a MG, just usually secondary to range. Silvered Dread already has high base range so bumping up the stability and AA is good.

He was talking about the heavy archetype (Spare Change/Messenger). He was also joking. Bungie doesn't want easy two-burst pulse rifles, and there isn't much wiggle room with regard to a meaningful damage increase with that archetype. Bumping it slightly will move it back into territory Bungie didn't like before.

Laughing Heart with Braced Frame, Quickdraw/Snapshot, and Hidden Hand. Is this thing worth loving with? I just use Defiance or Winged Word when I (rarely) snipe.

Its the same roll I have and I loving love it.

I run it as much as my god roll 1kys. Its stable as hell, sounds cool as poo poo and can two tap really, really easily.

Its a good gat and a great roll.

Headseeker won't accomplish anything appreciable at that fire rate, and Spare Change has a hard leftward pull without counterbalance. If you need space I would shard it.

After one crap game against a laggy fireteam, a 13.0 with it lol K, I dig. People have a reeeeal hard time doing anything but running when they start getting pelted.

Still got a three little words in my vault, waiting for it to be in the meta again.

Though it never will because Bungie appears to have figured out how to perk weapons these days.

Got a CB/PB/Third Eye hopscotch pilgrim from shaxx bounty this week, great gun but sucks about the archetype. I didn't play during it's heyday but if it was two burst it would definitely be OP.

it used to fire much slower and hit harder

Just looked at the possible perk tree if rolled with full auto instead of third eye, I would never put it down in PVE.

Unbent tree from the wins/loss bounty, NOT FUNNY GAME.

Hammer forged, ranged finder lingering song, eh I don't know, I'll try it I like HCs.

Semi god roll clever dragon and a decent ish lingering dead to wrap it all up, not to bad, gently caress IB though, hopefully the scouts up next as its all I'm interested in from IB.

Whew I had to get a sweatband out, IB was tryhard as gently caress tonight.

Got a ton of prizes though. All told like 8 clever dragons, 9 silvered dread, ~6 chests, ~6 pairs of boots and a mountain of artifacts.

Plus some stupid poo poo from the bounties.

My group barely made it a month past launch of ROI, we did hard mode once and that was it. I had hoped to get at least a couple more weeks out of it since the raid actually is good, but on the other hand, an entire year off of Destiny doesn't sound like such a bad thing. They might get us back in April with a VOG update, but even if so it'll probably be as short-lived as our last affair with this game. I've done everything this game has to offer a hundred times, really all I've got left to look forward to is what Destiny 2 brings.

My group seems to have lost enthusiasm as well which is kind of sad considering it's still early but I dunno 2 months is a good run of excitement.

I still like pvp and will continue to play it because im dumb as hell though.

Don't get me wrong, Destiny is fun--if you don't care about winning or improving your gear set. Going into the crucible with off the wall loadouts just because you want to see what they can do is still great in itself.

I just want to get Outbreak Prime, the two sword exotics I don't have, and that new machine gun exotic. Then I can be done.

In the old days I cared about getting all the raid primaries but now they're not even elemental who the gently caress cares? I got the AR with firefly which is the only new and exciting thing I cared about.

Want that OP though

Other than being a completionist it's not a very good gun. It's a meh in crucible and causes issues in the raid. During Vosik it causes captains to run off the edge then teleport back in the worst places imaginable and it doesn't do bonus damage to Aksis.
