Just farmed a few gms to get a pretty good shadow price adept and oh boy does this gun suck. Like seriously I go into patrol and my ikelos smg feels like a special weapon in comparison... all auto archetype have been swept under the rug in pve for far too long and I feel like they could really use some love. Some major points to consider:
- Damage is too low for all activities. If I’m taking a good few bullets to kill a patrol ad, there is a problem. I feel like all archetypes could go for a possible 20% buff to precision damage with a small bump for body.
- 450s and 720s should be looked at the most for damage as they are disappointing in most activities especially shadow price which as an adept weapon sure does not enough damage in gms.
Side note:
- Most pulses should be tuned also as they under perform in some activities, specifically the fastest and slowest: 450 lightweights, 540s and 340s.
This is all pve focused just FYI. I believe this needs to happen as sidearms and smgs have dominated pve for far to long HOWEVER, they should not nerf them as they are in a good place, just autos and pulses are under performing.

Absolutely right see to make them a viable option most of the time people will select the more difficult option all the way up to grandmaster and the problem is with auto rifles they are terrible no higher than adept. now then I know it wasn't mentioned but... I think there are some weapons including the auto rifle that need a little bit of buff in pvp as well. for as long as I can remember even in the destiny one days the biggest meta has always been shotguns and hand cannons and I'm tired of seeing them we need variety so how about buffing other weapons Pulse rifles scout rifles auto rifles even and not nerfed them after four weeks like what happened you auto rifles
