Is Suros Regime worth spending my Strange Donuts on?

3 weeks ago I would have said Hell Yes, but then I had Abyss Defiant drop during Crota, which has the Focused Fire perk that Suros made famous, but toggle-able, and is Solar. However, Suros has better impact AND range, and has that health regen perk that would probably come in handy in the Crota raid. I had a good week and ended up getting 10 coins as a Nightfall reward, plus 2 coins from blue engrams that dropped during the Nighfall, so I haven't bothered with the Heroic yet. So I've got some money to spend, just looking for some input. Note that I do NOT have a Gjallarhorn. Normally during Crota I've got Icebreaker equipped to poke at boomers and ogres.

  • I'd say it has more to do with your play style & usual weapon preferences than anything else. SUROS is a great auto rifle, but if you don't typically use ARs, then I doubt this one will redefine your play style. I've had two of the old 300 models for months, and neither of them have ever been leveled all the way, just because I don't use them enough. I'll always prefer scout rifles. Autos make me feel like I'm wasting ammo every time, and the drop in range between most autos and even a crappy scout is truly significant. SUROS is a pretty nice middle ground between the two, particularly once you buy the early upgrade that slows its fire rate when aimed down the sights, but I've found that it's nothing you can't improve on with a sexy scout rifle in your hands. That said, if you don't have Red Death (which is considerably better since the pulse rifle buff/auto rifle nerf), then the health regen perk will pay for itself in Crota HM runs. And SUROS sure does sound great when you fire it - like one of those pneumatic nail guns. Plus, there'll always be more strange coins, but Xur doesn't sell that one very often, so if there's any chance you'll beat yourself up later over letting it get away, then I'd go ahead and grab it anyway. You never know when Bungie will rebalance and bump auto damage back up again, either...

  • That last sentence may be the answer to your question...you now use a Defiant/IB combo, do you think the Suros would be so good that you would want to put the Ice Breaker down? I have a Gally, but in almost all cases except at the final Crota battle, I use the IB/Hunger of Crota combo. Folks drool over the Gally but the real game changer is that Ice Breaker you already have...just my $0.02.
