Pulse rifles and Buckshot shotguns need help in PVE

Now with hand cannons and scouts feeling much better overall in the pve meta it’s becoming apparent that pulse rifles just aren’t all it in pve especially in the endgame. As someone who loves using outbreak or chattering bone it’s not fun seeing these weapons underperforming especially with their unique feel. When it comes to buckshot shotguns however they are just dominated by slugs in any pve content and I definitely feel buckshots could use a damage increase to bosses and majors but also revive the perks that were killed thanks to auto loading like trench barrel. Here is what I had in mind for potential buffs: - all pulse rifles get a damage increase to everything in pve - lightweight frame pulserifles need to be adjusted separately because they are definitely the most underwhelming in all activities (450 3 burst archetype like chattering bone) - revert trench barrel nerf since auto loading isn’t in the game. - increase buckshot damage to minors and majors to give them an edge as an ad clear and champion deterrent over slugs

  • I think buckshot shotguns feel good and seem more present in most content. I really only see slugs in crucible and certain raid encounters. As for pulses, I mostly think the high impacts and aggressive need a damage boost. Higher rate of fire weapons always feel better in pve content.
