UNIVERSAL REMOTE NEEDS NERFING RIGHT NOW....jk, what the hell is wrong with you people?

Everybody is complaining about the Universal Remote, saying the following things: * You never run out of ammo for it in crucible because it's a primary. * It has too much range! * You can equip a Sniper Rifle in your special slot and that makes you OP! All 3 of these things are stupid complaints, and I'll tell you why. You say it never runs out of ammo? Well neither does literally any other shotgun provided you have the common sense to pick up special ammo every couple of lives. I mainly use my shotgun in PVP, and I rarely ever run out of ammo. If I do, I just switch to my primary real quick and go get more. It's easy af. If anything, the reserve ammo of this weapon needs increasing for PVE use. You complain about it's range, but that's the weapon's main feature. Yes, that makes it a pain, but it is not gamebreaking. Yes, I've been killed by this weapon in the past, but not once have I ever lost a game purely because someone else was using it. As for someone equipping a sniper to go with it, that means they have short and long ranges covered. Just use a mid range weapon (you know, like pretty much ANY decent primary) and as long as your aim is good they'll be almost completely defenseless. [b]Universal Remote is a good weapon, and it is a pain when someone else kills you with it, but like anything, it can be reliably countered. Stop asking for a nerf, it doesn't need one.[/b] [b]EDIT:[/b] Okay, so a lot of people are saying that due to lack of staggering whilst aiming under fire with snipers, they are effective at medium and close range. Even if this was a viable tactic (which it isn't), that is not the fault of the Universal Remote. Complain to Bungie about staggering on Snipers instead. Also, some people say that anything capable of 1 shotting shouldn't be able to be used all the time. Well you know what? That exact same argument can be applied to Shoulder Charge, so if we have to put up with that (which I'm fine with) we should put up with Universal Remote as well. Instead of complaining about getting killed by the same weapon, change your loadouts to counter it. It's far from difficult.

  • I like how the Universal Remote has remained Unchanged since year 1 (bar being nerfed due to blanket shotgun nerfs) and it was classed as one of the "worst" exotics back then Now suddenly, half of the people think its OP?!? And dont say "move it to special, BAM FIXED" as that ruins THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE WEAPON But really the problem is BUNGIE due to the fact that almost all maps are mostly short-medium range (WHERE THE UNIVERSAL REMOTE EXCELS AT) whereas big maps, that had vehicles ect (I.E THE GOOD MAPS) are left in the dust to be never heard or seen again And in the long range engagments on those maps (so you can kill the UR user before he gets you) , snipers and scout rifles excel, and that leaves Auto Rifles and handcannons in the dust Dont go complaining about how a weapon is "OP" suddenly if it has been the same since year 1
