So, are hand cannons at all feasible in PvE? I mean, I know for any mooks, it's just 2 body shots or shot/punch to take down, but are you basically just screwed against a Yellow and up? Especially something like the Devil Walker/High Servitor?
I've found them very underwhelming. They're basically scout rifles with slower rate of fire, much smaller clips and much longer reloads. They need to do way more damage to be viable imo.
Better hipfire accuracy means they're way better indoors than scout rifles are.
Mostly, I'm just hoping I find a hand cannon with a scope on release.
I don't have any issue with hip firing my scout rifle at close/mid range. And the extra ammo and faster reload means I can afford to miss a shot on occasion. It just doesn't do its job as well as it needs to.
See, I've had enemies in punching distance who I've completely missed with the scout rifle (I know I should have been punching, that's beside the point). It's always been kind of hilarious the type of shots I miss with the damn things.

Bungie forum support actually got in touch with me via PM about the clan name display issues and said they have top people on it.
I'm positive that nobody really cares, and I hope I'm not annoying anyone by continually bringing it up. I just want to iron it out so that we can be the Nicest Guardians. And display the [NICE] tag correctly in our post-Crucible stat screens.
Edit: Does anyone happen to have a screenshot saved to the PS4 of a post-Crucible stat summary screen with the [NIC] tag displayed? Bungie wants to see it.
Yep! Just tell me your Bungie ID so I can accept you. We have pages of randos knocking at the door. I'll accept you right now, and then you click "Set as PS Clan" or "Set as Xbox Clan" to actually get in.
Weapon balance talk? The Fusion Gun is proabaly op, or the shotgun needs a buff. Not sure which.
MGs in PvE have a bit of an identity crisis.
I don't know if shotguns need a damage boost so much as a range boost. At least they're good at taking down shields, but so is the fusion rifle, and if you're good at compensating for its recoil, it has great range as well.

If the shotguns had a range boost, it'd certainly make them more viable. You could probably make the range just as long as a rifle and the large spread would keep their power in check. I can't land a full load on a single target at more than 20 ft.
Just remember that half the people you meet are below average intelligence.

From watching streams it looks like the shotgun works exactly like the Halos: Instakill up close, absolutely garbage mid to long range.
See I think shotguns are fine. They feel like halo shotties which were a power weapon. I think one difference is people don't "respect" the weapons enough. In halo you'd support your shotty and stick with him, making sure to keep them alive.
With everyone having one, that support isn't there so it's weaknesses are exposed a bit. That and general ttk bein quicker and movement skills being a solid shotty counter.
But all three special weapons feel fine to me. Shotty is the easiest to do well with, but sniper and fr and solid on more situations
Also keep in mind future skills suck as warlock teleports. And other distance closing moves.
well the halo shotgun was a perfectly balanced gun for the game it was in.
in this with all the different shotgun types and doubtless upgrades I bet some are better than others.
besides this is a beta after all things change. I remember halo reach's grenades being spheres of death that could get multi kills with just one in the beta.
certainly wasn't like that in retail..... I really miss plasmas I hope theres a grenade like it in destiny
I wish I could somehow have a handcannon and a long range weapon and something with a few more rounds in it
Hm.
I keep hoping Bungie will put hand cannons in both the primary and special weapon slots, subject to those ammunition restrictions, of course. It would double their weapon build variety, and give insane gunslingers New York reloads for the most stylish gunplay in the Solar System.

Yeah I thought video games got past the "shotguns are only effective when placed directly on your enemy's nose" thing. Too bad because they're so fun to use when they aren't ridiculous like that.

FEAR had the most satisfying shotgun in recent memory. Pull the trigger and dudes hit the wall behind them...followed by what ever limbs were attached to them before they hit the wall.
People in online games bitch too much when you have a good shottie, and then it gets nerfed. Unless it's Gears of War, instead they just add more shotguns and yell "BALANCE!!!"

Does anyone have a spare PS3 beta code? My cousin was disappointed to learn you needed a code for the beta and I said I'd try to find one.

Of course the day I am out of town it the day they do the carry over thing. Guess I'll be testing if I can remote play from my vita while in another state.

It's one big glorious feedback loop.
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.
I had a helmet that recharged grenades whenever I punched enemies.
I threw a lot of grenades.
I spend a lot of time running through my own grenade to punch people.

For now, I'm relegated to looking through screenshots of [NICE] runs through PvE and the Iron Banner.

Bender11 is my bungie name. Thanks in advance.
when I click approve it gives an error. Possibly because the beta is down?
