Not a bad idea, but I think it would cheapen the experience (by making it easier). I think they will have a "broadsword" style quest for these pinnacle weapons for next fall or so.

Upvote. Would make comp 100% more rewarding immediately and people would likely feel like they could compete more quickly.

comp pinnacle rewards are too op, one class is remarkebly too op, ie huntard. nerf huntard more, make the nf, lh and new smg less overpowered and we all set.

Bungie needs to do major QoL changes to make it more attractive. But let's be honest for a second, the comp is comprised of players themselves so we can't all lay blame on Bungie. We as players have accountability too. KD discrimination, some want to win at all cost (even cheating), and any attempts to make it more attractive to players are deemed "casualization", "the end of destiny", or "ruin PVP" (Everyone having same guns doesn't ruin PVP most PVP games have the same guns, what ruins PVP is low population). The most basic question everyone is asking themselves is: Why should I play comp right now? A lot of players wanted the feeling of exclusivity. Well, it's kind of exactly what comp is right now (especially on PC). A very small pool of players with the same guns, playing with the same teams over and over. In a way, people got exactly what they wished for. It's like asking "come play with us and earn these guns". Most would probably answer "why?". They drop a god rolled Bygones or get the Perdition, they can battle with the best HC's as long as they stay around the 60 meter range and do it from the comfort of quick play. For close quarters there's shotguns everywhere and anyone can get the Chaperone. TLW is ridiculously forgiving. Not to mention AoS is like a scout masquerading as a HC. Don't get me wrong, not saying to make item quests like daily bounties. But at some point people are going to weigh the carrot against the stick. And comp is a reflection of how many people value the carrot over the stick. And remember, before anyone judges how they value said carrot, remember that we're talking about a bunch of pixels firing better pixel bullets than most other pixels. Not a purple belt in Jiujitsu, or a masters degree.

Personally, most the quests seem fine where they are at, except the Mountaintop quest (That quest is insanely tedious and soul shattering). As far as the weapons go, a couple could use a buff (Like oxygen or maybe 21% delirium), but most are good and even better than what they are given credit for. But at the end of the day, the weapons are called "Pinnacle" for a reason. They are supposed to be challenging for your every day player, not easy, and if everyone had the weapons, Bungie and the rest of the community would be looking at a D1 Y1 PVE/PVP rework again.

From my point of view the problem with the quest is forcing final blows in a team match. If I could earn those kills in rumble I think it a different story. I don't understand why so many (all?) of the quests for these weapons require final blows in team match ups. It forces the players to work against each other, or gimp themselves in an effort to complete the quests. I'm on the part to get final blows with hand cannons in comp. I'm always bottom of the list and if I'm lucky I get 2-3 kills a match (unless its countdown or survival). It makes comp an uphill climb, me useless to my team, my team useless to me (ksers), and the experience is bad. Comp should be for playing my best with people also playing their best for the win, not to complete quests.
