Not really. Halo Reach had daily challenges that you could do that were similar to Destiny's bounties but they didn't force you to change up your playstyle. It was usually things that you'd achieve passively through regular gameplay, like 'Get 50 headshots' (you could use any precision weapon), or 'Kill 25 Grunt Majors'.
If you happen by the divide and see an invisible guy dancing on top of the tower, that would be me.
I might be imagining this but I'm almost sure I've seen a Crucible bounty for getting 5(?) Dead Man's Hand medals no?

yea that pops up every so often but i remember more specific ones at some point.
It's 10. It should be 5 imo, just compared to how fast some of the other bounties are for the same XP. And when the IB bounties come around, it seems like a joke
Some of the bounty figures seem outright random. Like you can kill a regular yellow-bar with a special name in a story mission and get 5,000 XP/100 Rep or you can run a full Strike for half that. Like, what?

I've been noticing a lot more of them since the Iron Banner ended. People still run around with shotgun as their primary.

Regarding the changes to weapon balance, I am just flabbergasted as fuck that they didn't nerf shotgun range in PvP but did for fusion rifles.
Getting one shotted by a shotgun across a room is fucked up Bungie!

I've noticed this as well, and I have no idea why it's happening since shotguns got nerfed as well. I think people are misreading the patch notes and are thinking that the shotgun damage got doubled in PvP lol

Working as intended
I don't mind that. Its just especially evil of the RNG to hand out shit you can easily buy at the moment. lol

I played a Crucible match last night with TLW and I went on a rampage. I never tried to hit long range targets so I don't care about the range nerf. How much did the first shot accuracy get nerfed? Can't say noticed anything different.
PvP is a bit weird now. I feel like auto rifles are kind of in no man's land now. Before they used to be the weapon of choice for long range encounters while still being deadly up close. Now they can't hold their own up close against shotguns and fusion rifles. While at longer distance they are easily outclassed by high impact pulse rifles and even some scout rifles like VoC. Red Death honestly feels like the new Suros Regime.
If this game could talk, it would probably only know the words "Fuck you."
Hey, shotguns are good now. Could be a better reward than something currently on sale

Red Death feels pretty OP right now. I don't have one but I was getting merc'd by it so much in Crucible yesterday. Really tough to beat 1v1.
Yeah, I nearly felt bad when I was using it. The guys I was beating weren't playing bad. Red Death just outclassed whatever they were using, unless it was a heavy. I didn't even have to be perfect with this thing.
I'll never understand the frustration with shotguns. If you allow someone to get in close on you you should absolutely be prepared to wrecked and if you are able to work your into an opponents face you should absolutely be rewarded with huge damage. It's intuitive (unlike FRs) and is mostly avoidable.
Rawr you are the best.
:x you can wreck with FRs right now because shotgun behavior is so predictable

Most of the time it's out of my control though. I mostly get killed by shotguns when players use blink, and sliding. If it wasn't for those two things shotguns would be fine. As it is right now players are just running and jumping with their primary shotguns.
Stop using FRs.

I wish I saved the clip where I got shotgunned from the top of the building on Blind Watch coming to get the guy off of C. One shotgun and I was dead. That is insane distance. Sure it was probably luck in the chamber, hammer forged, and shot package but everyone who has motes can work on rolling that.
The IB shotgun is beastly with the right roll. Shotguns will get another nerf once we get IB again and more people get it. That paired with some guy that just blinks all over is straight garbage. I'm sorry but I couldn't get any joy out of just blinking and shotgunning. I want to challenge someone and beat them with skill not cheap tactics.
Fusion rifles still seem as deadly as before. I haven't noticed much of a difference in my Final Rest II except for extreme distances. So to me overall the secondary nerf hasn't done much to change anything. My Hawkmoon on the other hand has taken a range hit that is taking some getting used to.
That's exactly my problem with them.
That's a range issue that I agree should be fixed. You should always need to be up in someone's face to get a one hit kill with a shotgun.

Are any of the vendor shotguns worth it? Or should I just stick with Found Verdict and save up for Three Little Words?
I haven't been impressed with it yet. It's better, but it's really slow and people melt me between shots.

Both Secret Handshake and Two to the Morgue are worth getting.
Secret Handshake from Vanguard vendor. Shot package + Hammer Forged + Accursed Ballistics. Top-tier perk roll right there.
