Not a huge fan of Rampage on a fusion. Its probably the worst weapon for the damage perks.
I suppose if its a high magazine fast charging fusion it would work. I did use Techeun Force with rampage and it worked well
I have one with Void DF, Elastic string and Drawtime MW. Love it more than LeMon. Once Bungo fixes the DF spec inconsistency it'll be a beast in PvE.
yeah whats up with that!
Are they aware of the Dragonfly spec issue?
It's weird that you even have to make those suggestions, because that's like the exact description of what a sidearm is. A light, easy to handle weapon.
I got a full auto/zen moment Translation Theory recently and my god
Dude I was smoking people
Sidearms dont seem to have an accuracy penalty in air or at least not much of one. Can fire from the hip or ADS. Kill fast to the head or body
And mine has 18 shots in the mag
That is correct. I don't have one of those. My best is probably one of the Omolon type (Last Dance?) with Kill clip or a Smuggler's Word with Rampage and Outlaw. Either one will do some work up close but neither are worth using over a ton of better options in their respective slots.
Sidearms are best in a Mobility build. Run and gun, taking to the air, Rush down
Best paired with High clip sizes, Full auto, High Caliber rounds etc..
Ive been using sidearms a lot since forsaken hit and they are much better than given credit for in the right hands and playstyle
I know, right? It should be obvious but I am definitely not a coder or a game dev so take that with a grain of salt.
I'll be honest. I don't really understand High Impact Reserves. I know it gives some bonus damage to the bottom half of the magazine but it looks like instead of a flat damage add it actually increases up to 30% on the last shot meaning if you reload early you are losing out on damage, right?
In PVP, yes, but in PVE the rules are different I believe. That's more of what I meant. I have a Loquitor IV (Halfdan-d clone) with High Impact reserves and I believe it adds 2 or 3 dmg per shot. I also have a Blast Furnace with it and I need to check it because I'm really not sure how much it adds.
Honestly I touted the BS a lot on here but my last feeling was negative on it. A good pulse will be better.
I think the problem is I just can't like any full auto gun. I need to try it just pulling trigger like it's not FA, but then i worry about losing fire rate with fastest firing archetypes. Plus on Equinox it gets outranged by a Jade or Polaris.
Need to get back to it. Maybe Cerebrus was the problem because I kept running it with Cerebrus. Honestly as of now if my life depended on a scout on a long map I'd go with a well rolled nameless midnight or mida, or Polaris. The high impact reserves thing is interesting though, I imagine he's 4 tapping low resilience guardians? Honestly with my rampage BS I dont see 4 taps just that much with a stack, it's kinda hard to be super precise with FA.
Edit: Azte has good thinking there with the HI reserves. I like the way his mind works on that. However, I dont like the idea of depending on half the mag. Still, seems nice. I get to the bottom half a lot anyway. And drop mag on BS honestly makes the reloads basically instant. He probably shoulda put that on his god roll wishlist.
Also interesting he values stability and recoil direction. BS shoots pretty flat anyway to me, so I completely cast those to the wind in min maxing it (i put on extended barrel for range forgoing the stability barrel). But now I'm thinking maybe I was wrong.
I use all my weapon parts on mod components from ada so I havent got a gunsmith pack in forever though, so any new BS rolls not in the cards anyway.
I mean I just purchased 5 super mods for my Titan, then decided this whole multiple character thing is for the birds anyway lol.
But seriously Bungie needs to lower the WP parts cost of mod comps. I dont want them to go full bungie and make them cheap as water, but i'd love them to cost 175 or 150 or even 200 instead of 250. I played a TON recently and I only had ~750 GP's. That gets me a whopping 3 mods.
You can always do the pulling a blue from inventory thing, but it's really soul crushingly tiresome.

Be careful of the charge time masterwork— the impact is lowered in proportion and at certain charge times the bolts to kill is increased.
I believe they can drop from any of the forges, though I may be wrong
Speaking of sidearms, on my ill equipped Titan I was forced to use an random Anonymous Autumn sidearm for CQC...and it was doing pretty decent.
So I looked up the ttk, optimal .67, but here's the key, with 3 head 2 body. Decently forgiving. No wonder I liked it.
.67 with decent forgiveness, in theory that's what you need to compete Luna at close range. I didn't realize any sidearms had that capability (I know Omolon SA's can hit .50 but it's with all crits). Also, will beat a TLW body shot ttk (.76).
So then I checked the range I think it was like 15 with close scope, disappointing. but then I put the far scope on and it got out to 18-19 IIRC. Pretty nice.
Another one to try if I get time.

Hmm the I suppose I should let backup plan do the work for me and focus on impact/range
You got your number wrong. Body shot TTK on Last Word is .80, not .76. Unless you did additional testing I am unaware of?
19m or 19 range stat? My best Autumn has a range stat of 57 with farpoint, HCR, and a range-master work.
Am still waiting for a max-range Translation Theory. The archetype isn't as forgiving but I still really like it.
No its just him is wrong. He love to spew out alot of misinfo not to mention he hate handcannons.
High Impact Reserves is just a bad perk for me on any weapon with a decently sized clip.
On Fusion Rifles, where you spend most the match with like, less than 5 shots total, sure. It's great. But I don't want to have to empty a clip just to start getting the effect of my perk.
Not Forgotten, I pump in two headshots and the perk procs. Easy peasy.
Managed to get these two on my second Scourge run. :D
Congrats.
Also, I hate you.
So on my Titan that lifetime titan triumph, I've killed 149 hunters and 85 warlocks. That basically means there's almost 2X as many hunters as Warlocks running around.
GG other classes, was fun while it lasted. Hunters running totally rampant. The dodge gives us too much mobility. And to think I used to decry the dodge as the most useless ability of the classes.
Looks like Destiny is the hand cannon, shotgun, and hunter game. Sorry guy. That's just how it belongs.
I remember that guy who clutched a 1v3 Trials match the whole way. He was shade stepping all over the place. Portent of things to come.
I really miss fast Wardcliff Coil dodge reload :(

Wait what? You base the amount of hunters versus other classes in the crucible on your lifetime kills as a Titan? Let's not even get into how low your kills are here...but does one person even qualify as a sample size? I'm confused...maybe you should get your information from a more reliable source than yourself? Your post actually made me chuckle.

Seems pretty even to me...?! Maybe you just faced a lot of bad hunters in the crucible and the warlocks outgunned you more often than not. Also possible no?
I have almost as many hunter kills as warlocks and titans put together. 60k+. So yes there are way more hunters running around in PVP. It's always been that way.
Hell my trains are usually 90% hunters. Most people on my list main hunters.

It would explain so much if true.
My guess? It's the title of the class. "Hunter". Well yea...ppl want to HUNT so...easy selection.
I think hunters' popularity does have a lot to do with their jump being the most 'normal.' It probably feels more natural to a lot of people. That jump also makes it easier to shotgun ape than with any other class on console. They've got a low barrier to entry, but also a high skill ceiling.
Sick look, congrats.28 runs this week, 315k NF score and finally got the Osprey, putting a close to my Wayfarer grind. Happy to have my first seal.
p.s. fuck resonate stems
MountainTop with sticky nades perk is actually LEGIT. I had a guy popping a golden gun only to walk on my sticky nade and died. I caught so many guardians by that. I plant sticky nades at choke points, heavy ammo, behind them when they retreat or walls where they would hug it. Not to mention I can still 1 hit kill if I hit them directly. I fucking love the MountainTop
i've heard both numbers reported early on. i thought the .8 was people rounding tbh.
it's not like it makes practical difference. i'll go with whatever is on mercules spreadsheet.
Edit: Which is .8. As I expected since .8 seems "official" to you guys. i was going with early reports on reddit and such.

i still remember day 1 of d1 demo...character select...i honestly thought warlocks looked cooler, but it seems like hunter is implicitly just set up as the cool mid/ranger class. and you gotta like the whole stealthy assassin ethos. it's natural people gravitate too it. so i kinda half reluctantly went hunter.
honestly bungie pushes everybody to use all 3, very hard through systems, but they made hunter the most attractive, so what did they expect.
but yeah at the end of the day it's the jumps. they're goofy on the other classes. like titan in crucible, to get somewhere high, i gotta float and be super vulnerable. i cant hop up quick, unless it's a low jump. so annoying.
btw does anybody like lockdown? doing it now for the triumph, and i actually do. very intense, and the zones really matter unlike control. and with 4v4 and high objective based intensity, you feel like your play matters more to the outcome.
maybe it's just because it's a change of pace though. or maybe because been getting a lot of scrubs and winning often.
at like 2 am it seemed like i could barely get a match on xbox. is that even possible on a major console? player count so low? people hate lockdown? apex legends stealing everybody?
