This is the most powerful PvP weapon in Destiny and it's impressive

GC - "A Destiny gamer got this weapon after he completed the Vault of Glass on hard. And it completely destroys people and it's not even arguable."

Yeah the gun is definitely getting a nerf. I need to get to level 28 asap to do the vault of glass.

Gazondaily3497d ago (Edited 3497d ago )

LMao at the nerd excitement for it. Actually makes me wanna get that gun now!

ugh did he just say "hella-heated" Lmao....oh my days...

PSN-JeRzYzFyNeSt3497d ago (Edited 3497d ago )

why nerf it what are the odds of you playing against this kid or a person with this gun.... if he found it and its a rare legendary leave it

Gazondaily3497d ago

It's hardly competitive though is it? Shouldn't it be based on skill rather than luck?

Mind you, if I had that gun I would pray it didn't get nerfed lol.

ScottyHoss3496d ago

agreed, NGL the guys pretty bad at aiming, unless he was slacking because of how OP that thing is (now that I think about it he's gotta be pretty good to have gotten through he vault on hard).

-Foxtrot3497d ago (Edited 3497d ago )

This is why bringing your guns into the competitive online was such a bad idea.

Doesn't really become about skill, it just becomes "my weapon is stronger then yours"

I don't see why starting out with the same guns and searching the map to find better ones is such a bad idea now

Shadonic3497d ago

ehhh this is sorta a special case, the exotic weapons seem to be where the problems really arise, the basic rifles are all balanced out damage wise with impact and rate of fire along with player skill being a big factor, I've defeated hoards of high level players going on 10 kill streaks with just a uncommon shotgun and i was like lvl 15 there. While this weapon is indeed OP so far its the only one of its kind to be out in the wild. There's more than just weapon x > weapon y in damage.

Yea the weapon needs a nerf but when you have people rushing at you blindly like the hive in the live action destiny trailer, I'm pretty sure that anyone with enough sense to use their weapon could do the same.

Sp1tfireXM3497d ago

Agreed, those guys were just running into it like idiots

itBourne3496d ago

No even base weapons are the problem... feel like im playing CoD not a Bungie shooter. Takes a lot of the skill out of it.

amnalehu3497d ago (Edited 3497d ago )

That gun is nice. I hope they leave it.

sAVAge_bEaST3497d ago

yes, Balance is key!

This is the reason FPS are becoming increasingly sh. they have to many guns, to keep balanced..

We need the formula of Rock, Paper, Scissors, in gun selection.

ScottyHoss3496d ago

gun, grenade, melee; rock, paper, scissors (not in that exact order). The guys he was playing against went about stopping him the wrong way too, not one used their grenade to make him move towards them, or lured him into QBC so shotgun him. Very rarely would they take the first shot either. A quick change to a more defensive class loadout and a shotgun melee combo would do the trick, instead of running straight at him every time. Utilizing the turning center piece with special ammo for a sniper could also do it.

MaxwellBuddha3496d ago

Because Bungie is an incompetent developer who can't make anything of merit without Microsoft holding their ***ing hands.

Case in point: Halo was going to be a RTS game before Microsoft slapped them upside their stupid fat faces. That should tell you all you need to know.

Jubez1873496d ago

Honestly, once I got my Suros I started dominating. yea that balance attack, but higher tier weaps have better range and acc so

InTheZoneAC3496d ago

at some point in the future when earth is torn apart and people are living planet to planet, if one soldier finds a legendary weapon I expect it to be "legendary".

Then all the people that challenge him will complain his gun is to OP. They'll all whine and complain and say it'll only be fair if they called a timeout and used the same weapons. And only if you find a gun on that battleground at that point in time are you allowed to use anything "better"

that's what I got out of the OP's post.

christrules00413494d ago

Just wait till the iron banner comes out. It's going to be my equipment is better then yours plus the servers were closer to me giving no one a chance in hell to even kill me.

no_more_heroes3497d ago

I've just reached the moon. Haven't even tried the Crucible yet. Not too eager to get my face stuffed down my throat, especially with guys running around with weapons like this...

Shadonic3497d ago

so far theirs only 2 people I think with that weapon out of millions so unless you have extremely bad luck nothing to worry about, also big tip if you have a shotty make sure it has good range and dont depend on hip fire. Higher impact also doesnt always mean better weapon, depends on your playstyle experiment and if you find weapon that works for you and come across a higher level weapon DON't get rid of the old one. also if your on PS4 you could add me

ScottyHoss3496d ago

I'm also on PS4 if either of you are interested. PSN: ScottyHoss

amnalehu3497d ago

You will be fine in regular PVP but you need to level up your gear before iron banner drops or you wont last a second.

Lawboy23497d ago

That gun is op but wow those other players clearly are a bunch of ransoms and not playing together

Lawboy23497d ago (Edited 3497d ago )

I thought he said they were playing clash...I may have been mistaken

Shadonic3497d ago

yea i was like, why is this dudes friend calling it clash ? Still they were practically running into him blindly like bafoons, considering how strong the radar is to not have some sort of idea of where your enemy is generally located is crazy. also it took them like 20 deaths to try and actually fire back instead of rushing him like some old 90s action movie. Noobs man but still gun needs a nerf

Gr1mmyshadows3497d ago

Damn, thats a weapon to look forward to. and i hope bungie doesnt nerf this. I mean when they give you a fusion rifle that can be used as a primary and shoots a round with each trigger pull then you're gonna be the baddest mofo around

Destiny Made Over $160 Million In Microtransaction Revenue In Less Than 2 Years

Destiny has made over $160 million in MTX revenue, and these numbers only account the data from late 2017 to early 2019.

Sgt_Slaughter332d ago

That's extremely low for microtransactions, especially for a game that's essentially designed around it

LucasRuinedChildhood332d ago (Edited 332d ago )

This was back when the game wasn't free to play.

The figures are from November 2017 to February 2019 (1 year and 4 months).

Based on that projection, the MTX revenue for Destiny 2 likely would have been closer to ~$240m for 2 years.

Not sure if premium expansions are included in that figure either although ... I'd hope that they are though and that most of the revenue was for actual content like Forsaken.

People spend way too much money on cosmetics.

Rude-ro331d ago (Edited 331d ago )

Seasons($10 and just got bumped to $12) and dungeon keys($10 each, two a year) are through the eververse(micro transaction) store.
So for those two years, in order to play a season, you would pay through micro transactions.

Sonic1881331d ago (Edited 331d ago )

Bungie Marathon will be worse since it's designed around it as well

Kurt Russell331d ago

It makes me sad to agree... but at the same time I am looking forward to giving it a go. Destiny 2 is so far in, I find it difficult to figure out what I am meant to do first.

buffig331d ago

I think FIFA alone makes over $1bn a year from mtx

anast331d ago

FIFA promotes a worldwide sport. It should make more money than destiny.

CantThinkOfAUsername331d ago (Edited 331d ago )

Let's compare something similar. Apex Legends and its ridiculous $18/$40 skins make EA a billion each year.

z2g331d ago

For as much as ppl complain how much they hate microtransactions, they sure don’t act like it. No wonder they aren’t going anywhere.

spicelicka331d ago

By "people" you're referring to millions and millions of people. Obviously the ones complaining aren't necessarily the same as the ones spending all that money.

There's millions that purchase MTX and there's nothing we can do about it

I've been thinking about playing through D1 again before it goes away...

CobraKai482d ago

That’s the sad reality of a game like this. I bought it, invested lots of money, and it can go away at anytime. I still think this was more fun than 2.

jeromeface481d ago

prob because 2 is a grindfest slog

spoonard479d ago

That's the bummer of 'games as a service'.
