Before TTK : I used 1 main primary and switched to use 3 other primaries when needed for certain activities = 4 primaries used After TTK : I use One primary on everything = 1 primary used . The Arguement that you now have a reason to use a variety of primaries is Invalid, I always had that ability. the thing is why would I use a variety of guns to perform the same exact function but they are not as good as the only primary I prefer to use . Say I like Monte Carlo, why would I use Jade Rabbit or Hawkmoon ? I prefer Monte Carlo over those , so there is 100% no reason for me to ever use them, except out of pure boredom or to be sadomasochistic . It's like Gjally horn , people liked using it for everything, why would they use anything else ? They had a hundred other choices , nobody forced them to use it for killing LVL 5 dregs in cosmodrome, but they used it for everything because they enjoyed it. And it's the same with Primary Guns , if I Enjoy using Monte Carlo I am going to use that One gun to kill Everything, I'm not going to use Ace of Spades just because there are no elemental primaries ( where does bungie get their logic ) ( if Ace of Spades did Elemental damage I would use it on occasion because I had a reason to ) I Always had the ability to use Any primary gun in the game , removing Elemental damage from them does not give me a reason to use other primaries, it takes away the Only reason to use other primaries . Bungie maths : 1 kinetic dmg + 3 elemental dmg = 4 weapons Remove elemental dmg from primary , so the end result is 1 > 4 = more options (/baffled) . They have the Data , it will clearly show that the vast majority is not going to randomly switch primary weapons for no reason just because they can ( they always could do that since release ) The Vast majority will take the easiest path = equip one weapon for everything ( just like Gjallyhorn )
