Finally switched to auto rifle in pvp after seeing literally 90% of people using it. I am now a killing machine. Also using a shotgun like around 75% of peeps.

Probably too late to balance things now, but damn bungie. Auto rifles are too accurate with too much range and stability. Shotguns have too much range. I wish I could see the stats of weapon preferences in pvp. I'm thinking you will see a trend among the top tier

I saw a Level 28 may have been 29 Guardian with some ass kicking Titan armor and God of War shader, looked fucking sick.

I've started to use a Hand Cannon in PvP
Not going back
It just rips through health, not quickly, but can be done from a very long range and deals just huge damage on a headshot.
Edit: Yeah Shotguns are just broken

Yup. PvP is basically auto rifle, shot gun, and fusion rifles.

Every game is auto rifle, shotgun, fusion rifle.
I say nerf auto a little, reduce range on shotty and make it 1 hit kill from close instead of midrange, and reduce the range of the fusion rifle too.

Don't feel bad. It took me and 2 people a loooong time last night. Even with a 26/27 guy.
Honestly, not sure how I was able to pull it off..we wiped a lot last night.

It doesn't upset me (yet), I'd keep doing it till we beat it but he gets frustrated. We even had a third for a bit last night and he raged out. I don't think I can solo it, yet I don't want my friends getting frustrated... but damn, I want those coins :P Should have matchmaking, or a chat board in game, I added quite a few GAFfers to my friends list but I don't want to spam messages through PSN, and this thread moves FAST!
 
DY_nasty said:
I have no idea how people are seeing any kind of range on the shotgun
Click to expand...

Some shotguns have great natural range, and some have both that and the trait that reduces spread when aiming. There are shotguns than can one-shot you from quite a distance, though they're rare at the moment.
 
I had never been around Skywatch long enough to see that massive spawn of Hive and Fallen. For a second I thought Bungie flipped a switch to run the farmers out.
 
Bleh. Is the weekly moon strike harder with more people?

I think my problem is my buddy I'm trying to do it with is 23.

Seems to be more adds then when attempting solo.

I've tried killing all the other things 1st, camping the entrance. Always get killed by the damn wizards!

Think I need a solar damage sniper to take out wizards.

I need dem coins... >_>

Said this too often now, but hand cannons and scout rifles can outgun auto rifles at mid to long range easily.
 
I'm on XBO, is there a list of members for strikes and raids anywhere still need the weekly and try the vault as well?

lvl 25 close to 26
Username is my gamertag

I'll be on a good bit today.

I was rolling with hand cannon before. It's a good 2nd option, but I can't see how this gets picked over auto rifle. Auto rifle range is super high so can murder across the room just like the hand cannon with a smaller penalty for lower accuracy. If you can land two head shots quickly every time, then the kill speed is faster. But if you miss even one shot, or land in the chest I feel auto rifle takes them down just as quickly.

I wanted to be the ranged hand cannon mid ranged sniper to offset the auto rifle goons. Until I realized the rifle had almost the same range and needed less accuracy overall to win

Outside of certain exotics and rares, I don't think I've ever seen a shotgun 1hk someone across a twilight gap sized room.

I honestly think that Scout Rifles are just absolute tosh
It's a Hand Cannon that does less damage, has more range,(has more ammo, I think), and has a scope.
Edit: This is post-Beta, in the Beta I thought Scout Rifles did work, even in PvP, but with the damage buff on Cannons they are just 2 good

yup same for me. found a legendary hand cannon last night and started racking up the kills in pvp after using the shingen-e since the start.

Hand cannon's are massively under-rated.

Maybe it evens out once you get a legendary version. I was using a regulator variant and was doing pretty good I thought. KD ratio always in the positive. Until I noticed all the auto rifles. Finally got one with low stability and I was like wtf bungie no wonder everyone uses these things

I just tried this strike with a few random people from DestinyLlfg.net and we got killed a bunch of times before they gave up :/

I only need 2 more strange coins to get what I want from Xur and I've already done the level 22 strike, now I need to do the level 26 and it's a bitch.

Edit: I'm on your friends list btw (ScareGoat), hit me up if you need another. Level 25 Warlock

Add me: Vin FTW


Trying to do the nightfall tonight. Try to get to 26 tonight if you can.

I'll be on around 8-9EST tonight.
 
Guys do you think we should have some sort of "Strike Spreadsheet" that allows people to submit what strike they would like to do/character level/gear rarity/heroic/nightfall modifiers?
 
I REALLY want to be able to infuse my weapon with a damage modifier. Some NPC in the Tower that will mod your weapon with Arc, Solar or Void damage. It would be a one time thing. and you'd have to run a few side quests to gather materials and pay a bunch of Glimmer to do it (more depending on the rarity of the weapon). What do you think?

Yeah I need 4. So I need to finnish the level 22 and get a lucky drop or just do the 26.

I am 26 Titan but just barely and my chest armor is not leveled all the way... Might do some crucible to max it out (or as far as I can go before I run out of mats) before I try again.

AR has already been nerfed hard, leave the poor bugger alone ;)

Pulse and Scout could maybe do with a small buff to damage, I personally think shotguns are fine, get killed with Fusions WAY more.

... I think Fusions might need a slight nerf to range, damage is fine at close range (take more skill than a shotty).
 
Anyone wanna help me with the Weekly heroic strike? I dont have any friends playing this game nd for some reason there is no matchmaking for this mode. Im a lvl 23 hunter PSN is Pansargryning and i will be on a for a strike for the next two hours.

Pls send me a message if there is a spare spot in your group. Thank you.

It absolutely does not have more range. The hand cannon recoil also demands that you pretty much have to restart your aiming after every shot vs a moving target. It does not have more ammo in even the most extreme cases either. The damage is great - but only if you consistently crit. If not, then you're better off with something else.

I love hand cannons but I'm not gonna pretend that they aren't flawed. There are plenty of instances where they simply get overwhelmed in PvP.

Did you play Titanfall? The Destiny shotguns feel so lacking in range after that game's shotguns to me. Titanfall's were vastly overpowered.
Click to expand...

I mean... across plenty of FPSs, Destiny's shotgun has got to be one of the shortest ranged variants I've ever seen. The one hit kill range is inside the edge of the Warlock's melee range for most weapons. I've been saying it before in the previous OTs, but if you simply jump you'll negate the shotgun almost entirely.

I was comparing Hand Cannons to Scout Rifles(i.e the Scout Rifle has more ammo, more range, not the Hand Cannon)
 
YESSSSSSSS YES YES YES


I just got my 3rd exotic and for the first time it's not a primary weapon.. Gaunlet!! YES

Still no legendaries lol

EDIT: Sunbreaker.. AWESOOOOMMMEEE
 
I played the weekly heroic strike with my brother, we were only 2 players and man it was hard! got fucked on the last boss...we didnt stand a chance. Gonna try it again one day with hopefully 3 players instead.
 
I just want to be able to buy relic iron out right from some vendor. I don't feel like spending an hour on mars running in circles every time.

All I can say is I outgun AR users at anything from mid to long range. I kill people faster with my scout than with an AR.

They're definitely not tosh, but you do need to be able to headshot pretty consistently.

Close range they're useless, but that's what shotguns and Melee are for.
