Sunshot needs a buff
I'm really disappointed in the catalyst for the Sunshot. I grinded FOR HOURS hoping this thing would have noticeable recoil reduction (since it boasts a massive stability/range buff).
>>>And before you start; I dont care if its a "pve" weapon in design, a gun you grind for for that long deserves glory in the Crucible.
So first things first... big surprise, it still kicks like a horse!
The catalyst should have shaved the recoil in half/percentage, or at the least an impact increase . Aiming down the sights/ field of view is also awkward and how it kicks up covering your mark easily ruins a 1v1 duel. Guns like Better Devils, which is also known for noticable recoil, are far easier to control.
Only way this gun would be viable is if I stack Energy Weapon Recoil mods on a Hunter (the only class that can stack three) & I main a Warlock..
You would think something that cost you 28+ hours of grinding would be more inticing and put it up there with other mid range meta-weapons.

3 RepliesI'm a massive enthusiast for the sunshot, and I'm just saying this but the weapon is noticeably better. A handcannon is supposed to kick even if it's a little, this one is no exception. When in concept, you're firing condensed explosions instead of bullets. Unless you're wanting handcannons to be the be all end all best guns like they were for a time in destiny 1, I would say the range bonus is where this gun should be at. Last thing sunshot is a dirty gun when you use it in its INTENDED ranges and encounters in the crucible not trying to snipe across the map or go only god mode with it. My best advice for you to help you is get the feel for the gun hell use it only exclusively in PVE or practice matches with your friends in custom games so you can see what works and what doesn't. P.S. I will add this that Crimson is arguably better, if not the best handcannon completely, but it will most likely get nerfed. Last thing, yes I wouldn't mind a buff to one of my most favorite exotics in Destiny, I'm just stating it's in a good place after the catalyst. :)
