Im just here for the salt.

Why is my hand cannon firing blanks? Yesterday, i found an afk guardian who i was 5 feet away from and two of the rounds from my eyasluna didnt register, no red bars, just ghost bullets. This had happened to me before but i figured it was either bad aim or connection problems, but i started reading about people having the same problem and then this happened yesterday and i can tell you that it is a real issue that needs to be addressed.

    • It's Jon Weisnewski and his idiot balancing act. Basically, he puts his IQ on one side, and everything that's good about destiny on the other. His IQ is still smaller. And so the nerfs continue. Hand canons are my favourite. But they are -blam!-ing garbage right now.

      • My biggest issue is that I am pigeon holed into selecting from an extremely limited set of perks for both my Exotic and legendary HC's if I want to make them consistent. Range perks. nothing else is more important for HC's right now. An HC with Range finder and rifled barrel or some other maximizing range combination of perks will allow a player to out perform just about any other roll simply due to the increase in reliability. This is ridiculous, and needs to go away. The "cone of fire" has absolutely no place with a weapon that relies on precision aiming to efficiently net kills. If it MUST be there, then it needs to be much smaller so that the player who does have deft aim and is skilled at landing those precision shots is rewarded, not punished because of BS RNG making your shots fly wide.

        bungie: we understand ghost bullets is a problem, we are currently working on a fix for this. there is now an artifact in rise of iron that removes ghost bullets. [spoiler]for 1000 silver[/spoiler]

        • I get them with Eyasluna but not with Thorn. Why is that? It has to be the range. It HAS to be. Whatever they did in June didn't fix squat

          • Dude I was using Hawkmoon yesterday and it was literally like every bullet I shot, and I did aim and shoot at the head and like the first 3-4 bullets didn't do any damage at all. It seemed to be happening as well with my Fusion Rifles, cause there were several moments where I shot a Guardian at the OHK range, I mean I was literally right in front of this dude, I could of melee'd him and the Fusion Rifle didn't even do damage. My Internet connection was Excellent and I hit him with all the bolts and no damage was done at all. It really gets frustrating cause it seems to happen at the WORST -blam!-ING TIMES I HATE IT

            You see, when boolet becomes of the ghost, you just shoot more boolets. Then there is no need for worry, for boolets are in high number, so it doesn't matter if boolets are of the ghost.

              • If you let the weapon return to its normal resting position, it'll reset the range cone and you'll benefit from initial accuracy. Quick firing, instead of pacing your shots, with hand cannons will result in a huge accuracy drop.

                • I had the same scenario yesterday. 8-10 feet away, 5 shots 3 ghosts. As his teammate approached I had to switch weapons. How shameful is that?

                • Imo i think when they added the bloom fuked eveathang up. Its rng every shot you take for their bs damage fall off. And the worst thing is you can stand 3ft from the guy and every body shot hit is always a different damage taken same goes with shot gun when your ads,3ft away and all shots register but all low 22-20 damage numbers. Plus the ping between you and host plays the biggest factor is ghost bullets. Thats why bungie never talks bout the lag From what i have been tracking with ping plotter is that most ghost bullets happen at the 50ms + range or any stupid crap that happens in this game for that matter. And well there is nothing on the consumer side (gamers) can do about. You can have the best internet 200mbs/10mbs but if you match with some ppl 3000km or 1500miles away its gonna be shit game. And really only takes 1guy that is too far away to decide the way the game is played out. But we know bungie thinks their sbmm is the only way to keep pvp competitive with no ranked system. If you have 200-300$to spend then buy a netduma r1 router(only if your not a networking god). It will mitigate some of the ping issues 65% of the time

                    • This is a problem with virtually every weapon now. Just played for an hour and a half, can't tell you how many times my shotgun failed to do any damage.

                        yes is a problem. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't experienced it yet or is new to the game. When i'm 3ft away from someone fan firing my last word and only 2 shots hit them, somwthings -blam!-ing wrong. "well you just suck" Actually, I dont. I've been playing crucible since day 1 and been using the last word ever since it was meta in PvP. I know what i'm doing, and I know when bullets dont hit. Same with hawkmoon. Sometimes hawkmoon doesnt do damage. Handcanons all have ghost rounds and that a bad play experience if i ever seen one. Nothing about that is a good patch or fix. Thats downright senseless. Fine, nerf the gun in some way. But dont take away rounds in a gun just because thumbless scrubs are complaining. Its garbage. EDIT: Since private matches came out, me and two other friends experimented different high impact and low impact HC's at different ranges while PACING shots and [b]every single HC had ghost rounds[/b]. At about 30 yards, the Last Word (with CQB ballistics and Perfect Balance) only registered 2 shots out of 8. The Eyasluna and Lord High Fixer was the only two that hit 7/10 times consistantly. The Last Word went from a good gun to absolutely useless. Its a shame that such a good crucible gun was nerfed beyond use just because people enjoyed it. The Last Word was nerfed [u]WAY TOO HARD[/u].
