So Universal Remote... What the what? No range primary gun shotgun. I don't get it.

Looks like reddit beat me to it. I always have trouble reading reddit, but I think they may have still missed some of the Flawless bugs, so I'll still compile a Neogaf list and forward it along. Also, I think the list should have been a bit more distilled. I'm always afraid stuff will get missed when you mix bugs with other "make this more fun" requests.
Edit, the "make this more fun" post was separate. Ugh...reddit.
for crucible, vendor lord high fixer wins, pve vendor TDYK wins. LHF is slightly better but pretty negligible at long range, but also comes with the "keep your radar while ads" and TDYK doesn't. especially if you're a hunter, you could use another exotic in the crucible than knucklemoon easily, whereas I don't really switch it off if I'm playing any handcannon

Good stuff. I was leaning LHF since I'm used to playing a bit more rangy with Thorn so I'll probably grab that and wait patiently for Hawkmoon or Last Word to drop.
Stats on paper, I agree with you. In game practical use, I disagree.
I have spent plenty of time comparing range stats only to have that thrown out the window when actually using said hand cannons in game.
EDIT: again, aside from Thorn and Hawkmoon...which you can snipe with.
It's awful. I was fully expecting to be able to down enemies from a decent range after upgrading. It has to be the worst exotic in the game. It's probably not even a top ten shotgun in the game.
They have said that you will be able to get IB light level 30 chest and gloves.
Paired with an exotic helm, the raid boots will still remain a requirement to hit level 30.

New "Detain" bug has caused Gothalian's group to fail flawless run twice.
Apparently someone gets detained and is permanently stuck in a state where they're vulnerable and can't move? My groups have only ever cheesed the Templar, so not sure what this is.

Did a hard mode gatekeeper section earlier today and holy shit that was close, from the Praetorian taking over the plate and shutting me in the portal (bare in mind I'm level 29), being down to 3 people and feeling the need for a wipe and one more Praetorian to the conflux meant an expunge, well played guys.
Well I mostly use handcannons so I can't really speak for the other weapon categories. I always go for long distance headshots in quick succession and there's simply not many handcannons around that let me do that.
And I wouldn't use Thorn in too many long range situations. It has one of the highest range stats, but is weighed down by a low magazine count and very poor stability.
[Edit]
Lord High Fixer is almost always my weapon of choice:

Not new. Was struck by that bug in the opening month quite a bit. Irritating to say the least, especially when you're acting relic holder. It's basically a wipe when it happens cos there's nothing you can do to get out of it, and you can't take down the Templar's shield through it.

I dunno man...Lots of assists on the other guys. Looks like you were just stealing kills.
Yep, figured as much.
I was mainly referring to the legendary hand cannons and The Last Word.
Especially TLW, because it has such a terrible range stat on paper. In practice though, it is really only out classed by Thorn and Hawkmoon. TLW can easily keep pace with the legendary hand cannons in range despite is sub par range stat.
I just upgraded it past all the unique perks and I'm not that impressed.
Super Good Advice would like a word with you, at worse Universal Remote is a shotgun in a primary slot, you can find use in a Shotgun Sniper/Fusion rifle combo, why you would want to do that setup I don't know.
SGA is useless full stop, no use for it in any application in PVP or PVE.
In Control I feel like Delphi C is worse than Blind Watch A. Controlling the C side heavy ammo room is trickier than getting easy kills from A side Blind Watch. So easy to end a map Unbroken from Blind Watch A. Still hard to win either map if the rest of the team is hellbent on charging into enemy fire when contesting points.
Really disappointed in Bungie's lack of schedule over the past few weeks. With the Iron Banner and Queen's Wrath being advertised like they were I was expecting new events every month, with something new always on the horizon to keep me interested.
Not only were both of these massively underwhelming, but now the Iron Banner was what, 3 weeks ago? And all we know is that the Iron Banner will be repeated, and that there's probably nothing else coming out before we have to start paying for new content. I know there's rumours of the Trial of Osiris but other than that, nothing.
There are more glaring issues with Destiny, but this one really annoys me. With AW out today and MCC soon after I can't see much reason to stick around and replay the same content for the hundredth time.
I keep thinking about that vidoc clip where the guy gets the in-app message saying "Dude, have you seen Venus today?!". That's what I wanted from Destiny, but Venus hasn't been different once.

Captain_Cold did it this weekend. That is some hard work.

I'd definitely use it then.
Call it the Party Popper and use it during the infinite Mission End celebration at the end of raids.

My highest kills was 30 or 32 in Mars only using rocket luncher due the highest respawn for ammo.

Ran a hard mode GKs recently where everyone wiped due to an expunge at the very end. As a last ditch hail mary, I used self res and stayed alive another 3 seconds. Right before it went to the wipe screen, everyone's loot drops popped up! But then it still respawned us at GKs, haha. We just used someone else's checkpoint to go to Atheon.
You can definately hold your own at level 2, you have next to no mobility around the map I found myself taking longer routes walking up the stairs lol.
CM imo.
Pvp you get 150 rounds per heavy ammo spawn (using field scout).
Pve you constantly find ammo due to the bonus. For the raid it's an amazing weapon.

Twice now I've been in a group that got expunged at hard mode gatekeepers only for loot to drop a couple of seconds later, and get the Atheon checkpiont. Really lucky.
Corrective Measure, although the real right answer is both.
They're both different types of Machine Guns, The Swarm is good for accurate headshots, the CM murders it in raids.
Like Bogue, I've been in a group that got killed at the end of hard mode gatekeepers, got the loot....but did not get the checkpoint.
The timing must be really tight to pull it off, nice that you got the good end of the stick.

Sounds pretty good. Though having half the impact of the Swarm has me undecided
CM, but they're both very good.
This makes sense to me but in practice, I find I do better in Crucible with TDYK than Lord High Fixer and I'm not quite sure why. I think maybe I'm just more used to the recoil climb and it's easier for me to land consecutive shots. Similarly the recoil on Timur's Lash feels better to me than LHF.
I really need The Last Word and Hawkmoon. I guess I want all the weapons in the game but I particularly want all of the handcannons.
Try it. The rof makes up for it.
The Swarm is great too, but I haven't used mine once since I got my CM and Gjallahorn.

I have both and prefer the swarm, I have field scout so the ammo is no issue, I enjoy the higher impact vs the CM.
To each his own though, they are both great in their own way.
Hawkmoon is the last hand cannon I'm after. I feel like I'll never get it, RNG being what it is.
