  • Yeah handcannons are taking over control . The wonder cannon ….been meta from day one ! Amazing aim assist , wild range ….beat a scout rifle and then all the crazy perks . Some players have played from day one only using handcannons ….that’s thousands of hours …you would have to have some skill from the repetition of playing . Big shame nothing was done with PvP ….another missed opportunity.

    [b]Medium / Long Range Primary Weapon Kills in Trials, 06/12-06/15 Weekend:[/b] Handcannons: 1848118 kills Pulse Rifles: 817818 kills Auto Rifles: 333041 kills Scout Rifles: 312801 kills Bows: 24095 Handcannons are the most used by far this weekend (1 million more kills than pulses, over a 100% difference), and that tracks with my experience in Comp at max rank.

    • But hand cannons take the most skill to use!11!1! It's not like they have stupid aim assist and bullets the size of a school bus that due to the relative accuracy per shot required to get kills create a false sense of skill when they're as broken as pulses tho...no sir...

      • PvP players...do yall ever get tired? It will never be what you want it to be. The game is not competitive or mindfully balanced. Free yourself and accept it for what it is or move on because there are no more sandbox changes coming.

            • People complained before about Pulse rifle taking over, now that it is back to Hand cannons, they still complain ? Some are never happy.

                I mostly see a pretty even mix of hand cannons, pulses, SMGs, shotguns and snipers, with other weapon types just popping up here and there. But this weekend, Igneous Hammer completely stole the show. I mean, I've seen how The Martlet dominates and I also survived the whole Redrix era, and Igneous has always been top tier, but this weekend it just [b]felt completely out of hand[/b]. Its time-to-kill felt insanely fast, or at least it did in my lobbies. When someone actually had a solid roll and stacked some buffs, that thing was absolutely lethal in the hands of a skilled player. There was this one Solar Warlock who was just straight-up dominating, two-tapping us from ridiculous ranges. It felt like he was casually tanking all our damage too. I literally emptied my guns whole mag into him and it barely ticked him, but then he'd just double-tap my face and I was back to the respawn screen. I’m not even calling cheats, the guy was just genuinely awesome player and I was clearly outclassed. Even when I tried to use cover, run, or kite him, he was just too fast and landed every single shot near and far. He was like EVERYWHERE, ALL THE TIME! Just could not escape, so damn fast. He was flying through the air above us one second killing us and the next he was right behind us. Then just boom, boom, boom, Igneous Hammer wiped the floor with us with laser precision. Honestly, I don't think I’ve ever seen a better player, just a super fast Warlock with insane precision, whether he was airborne or on the ground. Everyone always complains that Hunters are OP, and yeah, in the right hands they might be, but a truly skilled Solar lock is just terrifying. And I just witnessed it firsthand. My god, have mercy upon my poor little Hunter soul.

                Perhaps PVP is being deliberately sabotaged in the hope players leave for Marathon.

                • Trials of one’s patience, more like! 😳 Been grinding it out to get that new armour set and a few Rev1 weapons. I managed to get to 4 Ws for about 20+ Ls - typical for this 0.3% old Tortoise…😎 Disjunction is no fun to me…🤧 I’d accumulated a handful of engrams…all I wanted was the new gear helmet to complete the set…didn’t drop, just more useless guns with bad rolls. Disappointed about that…nvm! 🫤 Overall, the P2P issues of lag / latency seemed to have been turned up a few notches…some of the SUS players / stuff was just blatantly crazy…😵‍💫 Hit registration / ghost bullets / full load of shotty-to-the-noggin at virtual point blank range - was very noticeable…as was being mapped from unseen angles and unbelievable distances by unseen shadow ninjas…and dark magic ninjas who could see / shoot around corners and through walls…etc…etc…🙄 Quitters didn’t help either…🧐 Other than that - all good! Hopefully I’ll grind it out to 7 Ws before reset…or I won’t (bother) - it’s no biggy! 😐 That is all. Play Fair! Play Nice! Don’t be a Quitter! 👈 Ease Springs! 🖖👻 MTFBWY
