With the recent weapon balance I think the crucible gained allot of variety in weapons but also has been creating boring games lately due to allot of teams just sitting in the back of the map and only wanting to snipe or use mida..this patch is one of the only patches I've seen games literally end frequently cause time just ran out and everybody's trying to camp and hard scope,..not ranting since I've had allot of good success lately.
So, how has everybody's crucible experience been lately? Do you feel guns are in a good place right now? Here's my take
Auto rifles: I think the only auto rifle sitting in a good place right now is the Monte Carlo, all the others feel as if they are being out gunned for the most part by almost everything, the deal breaker and suros regime are honorable mentions tho.
Pulse rifles: other then the over kill nerf on the red death I think they are doing what they intended to do, I think the bad juju and suros pdx-45 are the strongest for now.
Scouts: finally a meta where they are being used in just about every game right now! It used to be rare to see one killing people frequently, right now the mida seems to be shredding along with the Boolean Gemini and tlaloc that warlocks get.
Hand cannons: These are VERY strong if you land headshots very often but I will say the hawkmoon getting a nerf on range is very noticeable and the last word seems to need a little bit of tuning. If you have the iron banner hand cannon it's a 3 hit kill like the hawkmoon
Shotguns: just about every shotgun is now only a 1 hit from melee range except for the invective and chaperone. But there's the occasional guy with a party crasher who got an extended range perk...jerks lol
Snipers: over used right now...but they did remove the one shot perks to the body that the RR4 possessed, I'd consider snipers the top tier right now.
Sidearms: EXTREMELY underrated give them a try!
Fusion rifles: really need the recoil adjusted from ADS, there still being considered the least useful due to countless nerfs. BUT the dark blades spite and plan C pack a big punch right now.
Rocket launchers: nothing conpaires to the power of Truth...it's actually insane
HMG: haven't been nerfed or buffed since destiny came out, so I can't say much, top 3 go to Thunderlord, iron banner HMG and the barons ambition which is a legendary from the saber strike.

I'll agree with the Monte Carlo sentiment. I freaking LOVE that thing during pvp. It is smooth as butter, no recoil, and mows people down. Still trying to find a good secondary: fusion rifles take too long, shotguns don't have the range, snipers are too slow and precise, and I'm not that good with sidearms :) But my super good advice seems to take a licking and keep on ticking :)
