Elsie’s Rifle is single-handedly going to get High Impact Pulses Nerfed
Console player using roller here. And I can honestly say I’ve never been two bursted more by a high impact pulse than I have these past couple weeks. And every time it happens, it’s Elsie’s with Zen/Headseeker. Every time.
I ain’t trying to hate on high impacts. I love my Messenger and have well over 10K crucible kills with it across different rolls. And I’ve enjoyed Red Death this season even after the nerfs. And I think that, at least on console, high impacts have been pretty fair up until Elsie’s with Zen/Head.
I just don’t wanna see all high impacts nerfed because one widely available gun rolls with two perks that completely remove any risk attached to using a high impact pulse. I’d rather see Zen removed from Elsie’s (high impacts in general). They’ve done this before with QuickDraw on aggressive frame shotties.

5 RepliesMessenger is just as great as Elsie’s but it’s harder to get. Plus, you can run conditional or the new crafted kinetic shotgun in the primary slot. I could see high impacts getting a slight forgiveness nerf anyway but that already happened when then rebalanced weapon damage and health. I think Elsie’s is the Igneous of pulse rifles. It will always be a top choice with high usage. It’s a stat monster and was so easy to get. Red Death is the Ace of Spades and Messenger is Rose. They’re all top choices hopefully other weapon types will get brought up before nerfs. Generally think weapon balance is ok.
