I ready like the B-line Trauma. Really fast rate of fire. Mine has grenadier and final round, which are alright.
Another NITC is pretty good. With a good perk roll, it would probably be better than most.
I love the MIDA - its hidden stagger perk is amazing.
I think anything with firefly is worth using.

LDR has slightly less impact than IB, same impact with armor piercing rounds equipped.
Black Hammer has the same impact as Efrideet's Spear, they're the two highest impact snipers in the game. at least according to the in game popup, if you check sites like destinydb Black Hammer is reported to have something like 3 times IB's impact which is not what the in game bar representing impact is telling.
Default Ghaleon's Demise from Iron Banner is amazing, it'd be even better with a perk that increases fire rate. But even without that it's probably the best due to almost Hand Canon level of impact, firefly and outlaw. The gun itself is quite boring to play with because it looks bland and has a bland scope.
I like Mida too because it's very snappy, feels, sounds and looks great but it's just good... nothing exceptional outside of the added agility.
Blackhammer is a situational sniper more than anything, great for strikes and certain bosses, both have their purpose but Ice breaker is nothing to discount even just for the regenerating ammo. I'd recommend to have both if you can but I feel Ice breaker has more use than Blackhammer.

The best thing going for P&T is the stability and temporary invisibility. LDR has better impact than P&T and, depending on the roll, you can get comparable stability with one, too.
That's pretty good, the vendor one has Firefly and Outlaw but honestly Flared Magwell does the job just fine. Gheleon's Demise with a similar perk roll is a different kind of gun but certainly no worse, and in my opinion is preferable. A Badger CCL with Firefly is harder to come by but represents a nice balance between the two. The MIDA Multi-Tool has a unique set of utilities and can basically own everything with its stagger unless Angry is on, but it takes an exotic slot of course.
Vision of Confluence remains one of the best guns in the game and some people really care about full auto. Fang of Ir Yut is top tier as well and an Arc scout has enormous applications. Shout out to Crusader I at New Monarchy and The Calling at FWC, but of course you're at the mercy of perks.
I personally prefer the slower RoF guns so that has influenced my choices to an extent

I personally adore he Badger CCL with the Firefly perk and the other one which gives one round bonus damage. Wish it was auto like VoC, but the damage output is pretty dang good. I haven't tried many others. Agreed with Hawkian, though, The Calling was my first legendary scout rifle. Really good stuff until I got Badger.
You came to the wrong neighborhood, motherfucker!
If there's a hell, this must be it. I don't know how many of them there were. I ran like hell.

Badger has the same impact rating as well. So if you're into high-impact weapons, Badger is a good one too. I was lucky enough to get one with firefly and luck in the chamber. It's a beast.

Why is that? I've got a Badger CCL with Final Round, Armor Piercing, and Firefly, but the big drawback is the slow, measured rate of fire. MIDA has spoiled me, I prefer to be able to shoot whenever I pull the (hair) trigger.
I love the Badger, and I'm also in the "low RoF, high Impact" camp.
I prefer to be able to one shot my enemies rather than having to press the trigger twice. The RoF only matters on enemies with a lot of life, and you usually don't use your primary against those.
I consider scout rifles to be mini-snipers, thus I'm playing them with the "one shot to the head and you're dead" mentality. ^^

I honestly think Necrochasm could be awesome if it had a bigger clip.. Say 60-90?

1 spot open for NFall with Drizzay and Hudson Jr, just go ahead and join up on our game if you want to do it.
It needs that, plus 100% proc rate, some more impact, and the thrall explosion needs to impact a larger radius.

Yeah, now that shotguns are so viable (and fun!) to use now, I should just rock those in the secondary slot when using a Scout.
Now that shotguns are fun to use, I rock a Universal Remote in my primary slot.
Will probably switch back to my beloved scout rifles once the novelty has worn off, though -- I always seem to come back to scout rifles and Hawkmoon.

I think the proc rate is fine, more impact would be cool and if the cursebringer activated quicker it would be an sweet weapon for sure
As the current trophy weapon, it needs to be among the best.

Managed to max out my Universal Remote last night and it post-patch has completely changed how I play this game. I used to sit at a distance with my Vision of Confluence and headshot the night away, now I run about like a kid who's been given a share bag of skittles banging off every target around. Either I kill them or my erratic wobbling forces them out from cover for the team (especially handy for the Flayers strike).
It's completely changed my opinion of the two TDB strikes also, Mars Vex thing is far less annoying when it doesn't take 20 minutes to get up the stair case of yellow bastards and even Omnigul can be fun when you have a co-ordinated strike team. NF mode is still misery for Omnigul but I'm not auto-quitting as much any more when it comes up in a ROC playlist and will continue even as a two man strike.
In short I think I might like the last patch almost as much as I loved the 'buy planet mats for V-Marks' one (which terrifies me as the 'other shoe' with that patch was the exotic reset).

This is great to hear, I'm currently also working on leveling my universal remote. The swordbreaker has easily become one of my favorite weapons as well.
We need a bungie dev in here to tell us when they plan to fix the armor piercing crap.
Shit doesn't even go thru paper now.
Its pretty irritating to not even be able to shoot thru clothe, or wire when doing PvE missions.
I can only imagine how OP it was in crucible, but why nerf it for the whole damn game?

It wasn't Crucible that caused the nerf of AP rounds imo. People were glitching through walls and shooting with it.
Overall, the PVP gets everything nerfed for PVE.

Subete no aware
I feel like this is a debate I already had the last time the Icebreaker came around. lol
My question is simply, what other exotic would you ever use assuming you didn't have a Horn?
MagnetoWasRight
Member
It's so weird that the Necrochasm is the last exotic I need in the game because basically it makes the worst gun in the game the pinnacle of my Destiny experience.
Well, apart from the Swordbearer's rock, you can still use the same AP "glitches" than before in PVE.
Valus Sponge and Sepiks window room are still both doable, for example.

Says me after every damn PvP nerf. Well we know they have some sort of PVE only damage modifier whether they have anything for the other stats such as Penetration et al is open to debate. Most irritating to me is that I only learnt that AP actually functioned like proper AP after the damn nerf (i.e. penetrates material as well as people)

Swordbreaker has jumped to the top of my Raid weapons list, I have the VoG raid shotty also and it is my bestest friend when Urzok needs a killing (another TDB quest chain made 100% less irritating by the shotty buff)
I use Truth because it's the second best Rocket Launcher, sometimes I use Mida Multitool if I want to run around, sometimes I use Thorn, now that I am close to getting my Warlock up to game I can use Bad Juju with Obsidian Mind..you get where I am going with this i.e. it just allows me to use whatever I want because I don't really feel like I need Icebreaker unless I am cheesing or running out if ammo in nightfall due to juggler, because I can do a lot more damage with Blackhammer.

Is your UR fully upgraded? How are the perks, I've barely touched mine so far.Now that shotguns are fun to use, I rock a Universal Remote in my primary slot.
Will probably switch back to my beloved scout rifles once the novelty has worn off, though -- I always seem to come back to scout rifles and Hawkmoon.

Thanks for the VoG run last night. It was fun to do it with some poeple who hadn't done it before. Now I just need to convince bigtone to get a new headset....
Not yet fully upgraded, but I have Universal Remote and Hammer Forged unlocked on it, and it helps its range issue A LOT.
It really is worth upgrading.
Lalalandia
Member
The fully upgraded UR hits stronger than my sniper rifles when aimed, it's range when aimed with the Hammer-Forged and Aim perk is a few metres and so it works as a primary too. You're still weak to swarms of enemies thanks to fire rate but my lvl 28 warlock was two shotting yellow lvl 26 minotaurs on the ROC strike version of that TDB mars strike (cannot remember the name Vengeful Mind or something?). It's pretty addictive running around and just wrecking things, spend the time upgrading it you won't regret it.

Yo Drizzay, Rubenov and co, give me a shout when you guys wanna PvP again. Send me a PSN message or post on here
Posted this in the LFG thread on gaming side, but no hits as of yet so I will repeat it here ...
Looking to organize a "Raiding Party" trophy run (PS4) for afternoon-ish (EST) tomorrow (Saturday March 7th). We only need to run the final boss (Atheon or Crota) in the same clan and not the whole Raid. We would do it on normal and whichever raid we can get a checkpoint for.
Any takers?

Not the person to ask really as I've only played one round on Blind Watch but it was really fun. Main drawback was RoF as it seemed as if my character was handloading the damn shells between shots at times but the aim down sights perk + hammer forged meant I didn't have too many range issues (then again Blind Watch)

So DGAF who are getting Bloodborne, what's gonna be our Watchword?
Edit: ^^ dat 50ppp peasant.
After talking with other gaffers and seeing that latest boss video I will be buying it, I know not a whole lot about the game though. Need to learn me some.
