NERF ERENTIL AND BACKUP PLAN

I really hope Bungie, that you pay attention to this post. Erentil is a weapon that has large usage in survival on console. It needs a range nerf and the perk "Backup plan" to be removed from the weapon. A fusion rifle SHOULD NOT be able to kill you at Pulse rifle range. And the perk , "Backup Plan" should not exist on such a weapon. Hand cannons got a nerf because they could three tap at such range, but nothing was ever done to fusion rifles. A "God Roll" Erentil is an easy way to win, especially with backup plan and TAKES NO SKILL to use. You are losing a considerably large player base because of this and I hope you take into consideration to look into this and give it the tweaking it deserves. Edit: I was extremely upset at the time of this posting because I faced 3 erentils and a jotunn in survival and also faced it twice again a couple of matches later. I still stand by my argument to nerf erentil, if not it's range, backup plan for sure. Also, wish it was taken it out of managerie and make it only available via Gunsmith.

  • [quote]I really hope Bungie, that you pay attention to this post. Erentil is a weapon that has large usage in survival on console.[/quote] So shotguns, pulses, and [i] especially[/i] hand cannons need an emergency hotfix based on this logic, even off the top of my head, they're all higher usage. [quote]It needs a range nerf[/quote] Mid-range is 35 meters, guess where fusions lose consistency? At best, 35-ish meters. [quote]and the perk "Backup plan" to be removed from the weapon.[/quote] The only change that's at all something that I'd say yes to is buffing Backup Plan, but having it be moved to Plan C only. As-is, it's pretty gimmicky and best spent on other perks, such as Grenadier, of buffs to consistency. [quote]A fusion rifle SHOULD NOT be able to kill you at Pulse rifle range. And the perk, "Backup Plan" should not exist on such a weapon.[/quote] Medium range weapons should be effective at medium range, end of story. And refer above for Backup Plan. [quote]Hand cannons got a nerf because they could three tap at such range, but nothing was ever done to fusion rifles.[/quote] Because Spam Cannons to this day are still really really close, if not within a category of "catch all" God guns. I'd argue that they might need another nerf, granted ARs need to actually be competitive before touching Cannons again. But Spam Cannons are stupid easy to use and incredibly bloated in pretty much every aspect other than damage falloff. [quote]A "God Roll" Erentil is an easy way to win,[/quote] I won't look at your loadout, but I'm guessing you're trying to mindlessly beat a Fusion with a Spam Cannon. [quote]especially with backup plan and TAKES NO SKILL to use.[/quote] Aiming skill is debatable, albeit you need to hit around thighs for optimal performance. But especially slow fusions are about positioning and brain skill, since they're super slow and if improperly played, you're done for. [quote]You are losing a considerably large player base because of this[/quote] They're losing a large part of the playerbase because they aren't properly... What's the word? Maintaining? PvP, limited maps and stuff and a meta that's been more or less the same few guns for over a year now. It's been Spam Cannon, maybe Pulse/Shotgun or Sniper for the most part since the weapon slot and TTK changes, the only real difference is a few challengers to that have come and gone like Recluse. [quote]and I hope you take into consideration to look into this and give it the tweaking it deserves.[/quote] Bungie, don't take this guy's advice.

Menagerie need a bigger loot pool, tho, add more guns to it.
