There is a reason as to why people are running double special weapons and that is because primaries are usually so weak that you might get 1 or 2 kill per mag with certain weapons.
Even when you go to older content that is so much easier, primaries still feels boring due to how slowly they kill.
360 Auto rifles has been ignored for far too long. They are not in a good spot nor have they since launch.
Using primaries in harder content just feels awful, takes far to long to get a kill and most won't even be usable.
I like primaries and never really liked running double special, but it is hard not to when primaries is one kill per mag. If even that, some weapons needs to hit every single shot to get a kill, and i do mean every single one.

1 ReplyWhat, don't you like emptying a clip into one enemy only to have it still kill you while you're reloading? The fact is they don't seem to know how difficulty should work. They increase fire rate, they increase accuracy of enemies, they increase damage received, they decrease player damage output, limit tactical options such as finding cover to fight from, everything spams area of effect damage. You can't do all of these things and have it be an enjoyable experience, and if the purpose behind playing the game isn't to have fun... Well... The exodus of players has demonstrated what people think of Bungie's priorities. They are trying to find ways to make "primary adjacent weapons" feel worth using again, which is why they have the rocket sidearms and pulse rifles, when really that is where normal kinetic damage should be. I feel like what they need to do is drop the increased enemy survivability entirely, stop making tanky enemies, period, especially since now an increasing number of bosses have immune phases or mechanics. Damage should be scaled off of how many enemies there are, how fast they fire, how fast they move, how smart they are, but I firmly believe that everything should die just as fast at end game content as they do at level matched content. At level matched content, for the most part primary weapons are okay. If you could kill those end game content enemies just as fast, there's just a lot more of them and a lot more damage going out, I think you'd svee a return to primary use.
