2 RepliesBump, someone reply to me?

More like PvP preference is 100% shotguns .-. Gotta fight fire w/ fire!…..Then that keeps going & going & going & going -.- True story! Oh well
-
3 RepliesWill someone please do a time to kill video for the 2.0 patch? I want to know what weapon/weapons have the lowest time to kill now. Pre 2.0 it's obvious those weapons were thorn and last word. If I remember correctly they were in the .33 seconds range. What are the new lowest ttk weapons. I'm referring to exotic primaries specifically though. If this exists I would love a link.

3 RepliesSo... PR Shotgun Heavy New meta?

1 ReplyCool stats. I'm a PvP player almost exclusively and so far each weapon I've weilded has been victorious if used in the right setting. For example; Bad Juju is a fan favorite atm and the equivalent would be a HRoF assault for the same range and dmg output. The next bug culprit is messenger, but the MIDA literally debunks its precision so they IMO are equals. Shotguns are still rampant because we all come from that PvP background, but in reality the sniper is th best choice for a skilled hand. HC'd got a serious debuff. Yet, I've been able to achieve 10+ kills no deaths with those as well. If you haven't been crushed by Omolans's new fusion you haven't been playing well versed opponents, universal remote is the new shotgun of choice (I use and can vouche for it), Red Death is a multikill machine. Honestly, this was for the best for destiny and those who cannot adapt and overcome will complain endlessly. Those who take the time to dedicate themselves are going to be rewarded for their efforts. I'm so tired of seeing top 50% comment and complain without truly submersing themeselves into the new meta or the prior and still expecting to be the best. Over and above all map knowledge is key to success, you gotta know th battle lines and switch weapons accordingly. If you do not abide by this practice you will be left with a blistering boil on that a$$ of your guardian. Give it time, for new metas to emerge it takes months of stats to prove or disprove anything so for the time being just enjoy TTK and this very welcomed approach to year 2 for Destiny and it's 10 year plan.

Bannerfall and Drifter are the best maps, and use the Khvostov, it is beast in the right hands

1 ReplyWhile it's a great [i]survey[/i], I'm assuming it was only gathered from data derived from these forums? If so, [b]be sure to remember that it's only the individuals who populate the forums, and not the entire destiny population.[/b] Regardless, It's titillating to see that by far the vast majority os enjoying this patch!

I've used a pretty wide variety so far and these are my favorites: Red Death, MIDA, Stranger's Rifle, Hawkmoon too Stronk, Silimar's Wrath (it's a -blam!-ing monster in cqc), Matador is broken as -blam!- good, Praydeth's Revenge still beast but really got gimped by the field scout nerf, all Jolder's hammers now completely outclassed by BTRD and Zombie apocalypse, Truth still amazing, proxy det. in general still pretty good, Bad Juju is a monster, Abyss Defiant will do work, the VOG scout rifle is wrecking but I STILL don't have one, and hard light is also pretty ok now. I'm becoming more and more of a fan of Ill Will for some reason. Somehow it just feels good to do well with it. Generally speaking pulse rifles are really good in the mid game, auto rifles can be surprisingly good in the mid game but high RoF autos will cream people in close, hand cannons are good for close to mid range, and scout rifles are coming online thanks to the nerfs to handcannons. Shotguns are easily still OP, and snipers got gimped by the field scout nerfs kiss your 6shot snipers goodbye. Fusion rifles are absolutely meh, I prefer them but I feel like they're outclassed by the big 3 shotguns. Rockets are still dominating the heavy game, but corrective measures and BTRDs are quite good as long as you can weather the storm of explosive bullshit following heavy drop.

results pls

MIDA feels particularly strong now. I never really considered myself the best PvP player, but equipping that gun has improved my performance in Rift substantially, both as a runner and support gunner. It's a really versatile little gun. Sad to see it won't be immediately available in Year 2. Ah well- still looking forward to Zhalo Supercell and Fabian Strategy

6 RepliesEdited by ironcitysteelers: 9/13/2015 10:54:12 PM2.0 has brought multiple weapons type as options, more over it brought multiple options within each of those groups. Never before have I see this. Some say pulse is the king now in pvp. Maybe they are correct at the moment, but the best thing it's multiple weapons not just one or two. Bad juju, red death, strangers rifle, 5a1 or whatever it's called, and of course the messenger. That said, HC are still doing work. They are not clearly the op weapon they were before but certainly useable in the right hands. Autos are good too. Suros 1.0 is ehh, but give me my vanquisher or other HROF legendary and good to go. The scouts have been crushing me too. You name the weapon it's done the job. Let's not forget the vex is burning people's asses again too. So for me, there are many options going into pvp unlike before. ....the best part. The next op weapon is still yet to come.
-
I've been trying a bit of everything. So far I've been using the timepiece, bad juju and epilogue the most
-
MIDA, Red Death, Last Word is my usual.
-
Edited by ravingmasher: 9/14/2015 12:47:50 PMPoll ended but w/e: I love Scout Rifles. In particular MIDA. They're even better now.
-
Only weapon that I use more now is The Summoner. Started using auto rifles again before the update anyway.

1 ReplyThe only thing that has changed in my usual loadout is Nechrocasm is waaaaaaaay better than it was before and Praetorian Foil kind of sucks to use with the acc. coils reduction. P. Foil was my favorite pvp fusion rifle pre-2.0 but now I've swapped to Perun's Fire because I'm still familiar with it's charge rate, P.Foil feels way different now and I really have to adjust to its charge rate before it goes back to being my 'go-to' non-sniper special. I've mainly used Nechro, MIDA, P.Timepiece and a hip fire/icarus Revelator for a good long while and none of those have been 'gutted'. My Longbow is still good, Perun's is my temporary replacement for P.Foil but I used Perun's now and then pre-2.0, and BTRD is still good. 2.0 has been pretty good to me.

4 RepliesI was messing around with different perk combinations. I have an Unwilling Soul (auto rifle, super high ROF pea shooter) with Focused Fire, Small Bore, and Counterbalance that is a lot of fun. With Focused Fire it deals more damage than the mid ROF autos and fires at just a smidge slower rate, plus you have the crazy spray mode when not ADS. The range is kinda low but its helped a little by the damage boost and Small Bore. Even after the magazine decrease from Small Bore it still holds 66 shots. Im sad its going to be useless in PvE/Iron Banner next week.

6 RepliesI used nothing but a Vestian on Rumble in Frontier, in the building with the cargo containers. Got up to a Relentless. It's amazing how people kept trying to rush me...
-
Nice! I like the option, Honestly I still play the same way as before, option. I haven't changed anything up. Legendary Pulse Rifle, Legendary Sniper Rifle, Ghorn/Truth/Thunderlord.
-
Auto rifles still need tweaked. I only get outguned by redbars with them
-
3 RepliesI feel like most guns are all pretty balanced but pulse rifles just feel better than auto rifles with kills me:(
-
-
2 Repliesinteresting survey although I noticed that you limited it to exotic and legendary weapons. personally I have found a rare pulse rifle a few days ago that is FANTASTIC in crucible. Silvered Continuum MSc. all in all though not a bad survey.
-
2 RepliesYou should've mentioned what map is your least favorite. I can't wait until MIDA gets bumped up into Y2 :(
-
2 RepliesRip last word

5 RepliesAnyone else using dead shot Luna full auto it is amazing
