Just a reminder asking people to please stop overusing Zhalo. In the last month of heroic strikes and nightfalls there's been Arc burn on five times. (3 heroic, 2 nightfalls) No doubt Zhalo has been [u]THE[/u] go-to primary weapon for these strikes. Unfortunately we are all playing into Bungie's evil plans to nerf the Zhalo by removing the arc burn from it. How you ask? Simple. By driving up the usage via high level content with Arc burn, Bungie and the sandbox team can now put out a graph next month saying Zhalo is overused and not the diverse primary choices they intended hence it needs a nerf and the burn removed. Don't fall into their games people! They already got your legendary burn primaries and now almost a full year later they're coming for the exotic one.
I know people will think I'm insane or been hanging out with Eris too long in the tower but I'm right people. Just look at some of the changes and nerfs they've made because a certain weapon or archetype is overused in the game. Autos, Pulses and Hand Cannons have all been nerfed due to overuse at some point. Shotguns? Nerfed several times. Snipers? Major ammo nerf due to overuse. Field Scout, Final Round, Counterbalance, Hammer Forged, etc...All nerfed because those were the only perks people were looking to use. Mida? Average weapon nerfed when it suddenly soared to popularity and became heavily overused in pvp. Gjallarhorn? Nerfed because it was virtually the only heavy weapon being used and idiots demanded you had it or you were blacklisted from raids and such. The nerfhammer is coming for Zhalo and its up to us to try and stop it.
Tldr: Stop overusing Zhalo or Bungie will nerf it because that's how they roll.

I like the way it sounds though.
-
Everything they've done to ruin weapons has been for "balance" in pvp.....
-
Literally wouldn't even be surprised.
-
Y u h8 Zhalo? Wat did Zhalo doo 2 u?
-
Honestly let them. If their doing it on purpose just to nerf it then they shouldn't have made it have a element. They were the ones that wanted to get rid of elemental primaries but add one the only for year 2. If they touch it everyone needs to call them out on their bull.
-
It's fine Bungie, go ahead, nerf it. Just don't touch scout rifles.
-
Unless it's overused in pvp they don't give shit how many players use it.

Edited by RagingPheonix00: 7/5/2016 5:53:02 PMTheir fault for adding burn, not mine i will use what ever i gain the advantage in PVE for. And MIDA needs another nerf.
-
Hunters, use swords with the annex helm. Orbs for days. Chain supers, repeat. 3 hunter tether teams with that helm are lol
-
I think, assuming the burns weren't just coincidence in the first place, it's about collecting data on kinetic vs. burn primaries rather than Zhalo itself. The last couple weeks have shown exactly why burns where removed from (all but one) primaries. There's a lot of fun to be had with all types of different arc loadouts yet many people feel they MUST use the one arc primary.
-
Use and abuse. Bungie will make you play the game the way they decide. We agree on that. Enjoy every second with the Zhalo..Use if for everything! That way when the nerf comes you can say at least you had FUN using it at one time.
-
... Who would of thought 'puts shall in vault'
-
Zhalo is overrated... I'll use the QBB because Zhalo wouldn't cut it for me to run solo anyway.
-
And I thought bungee was trying to make it fun again Mind blown
-
Taking the burn off of Zhalo would make zero sense, because the arc is the whole reason the gun exists. Taking away the arc makes it just a sub-par AR. It wouldn't even classify as an exotic anymore.
-
So in order to possibly avoid Bungie making a change to a weapon which effectively makes everyone stop using it, you want people to just stop using it beforehand? Nothankyousir. Small arms and arc burn for heroics this week, I'm using the shit out of zhalo.
-
Arc burn and small arms, you can go fuçk yourself I'm using a zhalo
-
Stfu you pole dancing chimp
