Re-Buff Auto Rifles Completely! Poll.

Yes, Auto Rifles should be re-buffed completely.

4966

No, Auto Rifles should remain the shittiest tier.

180

Nerf HC's and PR's to pea-shooters like the AR's.

120

I could care f*cking less.

246

I'm here for the results.

So, understandably Bungie nerfed Auto Rifles as the statistics proved they were the most over-used weapons in almost every activity. Now that they've castrated and killed Auto Rifles completley and buffed Pulse Rifles to top-tier and Hand Cannons to the most over-used genre of weapon, they might as well restore ARs to their former glory to compete with the newly buffed and overused Hand Cannons. If they re-buff ARs, will you not use Thorn anymore? TLW: 2 Hipfire = Kill. Thorn: 2 Headshot = Kill. Red Death: 2 Headshot = Kill. Scout Rifle: 3 Headshot = Kill. ( G-Demise ) Auto Rifles cannot compete with any of these weapons at close range. If two players that were both pros shot at eachother with perfect aim from the same distance, all of the weapons I just mentioned would clearly win. Unless you get the first shot, no. The first 3-10 shots in, you will lose any gunfight with an Auto Rifle against a skilled player. EDIT: Bungie finally gave in. Not only are Thorn and the Last Word receiving a due nerf, but Auto Rifles are receiving the exact buff we decided on ( Or mostly ) To restore Auto Rifles to their prime damage but to keep the range nerfs in place to limit Auto Rifles to close-mid range encounters like Thorn and Last Word were originally intended to be. Thank you all for consistently bumping this forum and I'm gladly looking forward to the Auto Rifle buff.

  • I would agree that AR should receive a buff, but not perhaps completely in damage. I am always amazed when I am landing a barrage of High Rate of Fire head shots with heavy rounds directly into someones face and they are able to land head shots against me with Thorn. Perhaps make it much more difficult to return fire when being shot in the face by an AR at close to mid range. Don't get me wrong, I am actually not a big AR user. I prefer to use a scout rifle or hand cannon based on size of PFP map, but Auto Rifles should be a viable option in the middle. I finally got Monte Carlo and I want to use it from time to time. I still have not gotten Soros Regeme, and I would love to try that out. I will still use Thorn, Last Word, etc. I want them all to have a time and place, and based on the player's skill, be useful.
