Buff Pulse Rifles

It's been said before but I'll say it again: pulse rifles need some love. It's not that they're terrible, exactly, it's just that there's no real reason to use them over any of the other weapon types. I've even tried out the high impact Three Little Words, and while it's good, my B-Line Trauma is better, as is my Vanquisher. I'd say that pulse rifles could use a slight damage buff, but I'm not sure that's quite enough to give a real reason to use them. I would suggest a tighter shot grouping for legendary pulse rifles and above. I'd also suggest that quite a few of the pulse rifle perks are rather underwhelming (secret round and headseeker, I'm looking at you), and, for some reason, some of the best perks, such as outlaw and zen moment (not usually my taste but it would synergize well with burst fire) , are mysteriously absent from legendary pulse rifles. These are my suggestions. Take them, or leave them, it's still hard to deny that pulse rifles could use a buff.

  • Everything you say is very true. They kill things slower then a scout rifle, expend more ammo then an auto and have shorter range then either an auto or handcannon, so why bother using one? I really have no answer to that. This might be circular though, pulse rifles are useless enough that most people don't use them and since people don't use them, they are low priority for a fix.
