UNIVERSAL REMOTE NEEDS NERFING RIGHT NOW....jk, what the hell is wrong with you people?

Everybody is complaining about the Universal Remote, saying the following things: * You never run out of ammo for it in crucible because it's a primary. * It has too much range! * You can equip a Sniper Rifle in your special slot and that makes you OP! All 3 of these things are stupid complaints, and I'll tell you why. You say it never runs out of ammo? Well neither does literally any other shotgun provided you have the common sense to pick up special ammo every couple of lives. I mainly use my shotgun in PVP, and I rarely ever run out of ammo. If I do, I just switch to my primary real quick and go get more. It's easy af. If anything, the reserve ammo of this weapon needs increasing for PVE use. You complain about it's range, but that's the weapon's main feature. Yes, that makes it a pain, but it is not gamebreaking. Yes, I've been killed by this weapon in the past, but not once have I ever lost a game purely because someone else was using it. As for someone equipping a sniper to go with it, that means they have short and long ranges covered. Just use a mid range weapon (you know, like pretty much ANY decent primary) and as long as your aim is good they'll be almost completely defenseless. [b]Universal Remote is a good weapon, and it is a pain when someone else kills you with it, but like anything, it can be reliably countered. Stop asking for a nerf, it doesn't need one.[/b] [b]EDIT:[/b] Okay, so a lot of people are saying that due to lack of staggering whilst aiming under fire with snipers, they are effective at medium and close range. Even if this was a viable tactic (which it isn't), that is not the fault of the Universal Remote. Complain to Bungie about staggering on Snipers instead. Also, some people say that anything capable of 1 shotting shouldn't be able to be used all the time. Well you know what? That exact same argument can be applied to Shoulder Charge, so if we have to put up with that (which I'm fine with) we should put up with Universal Remote as well. Instead of complaining about getting killed by the same weapon, change your loadouts to counter it. It's far from difficult.

  • I've never thought UR was OP. I thought the range was a bit much but that's about it. Either way it's easy enough to counter, just like everything else. As long as people are willing to learn and adapt, the UR/Longbow or, my favorite that i've seen, UR/Party Crasher combos aren't hard to deal with.
