Swords (Destiny)

If anything I find swords to be both the easiest to use and the most risky. The need to close with your opponent means they often will be able to fire upon you on the way in.

If you can get them to come to you however, they are toast. Most success I have is to have a second person firing away while I hide behind a corner. His motion will hide me on the tracker, and our opponents will assume only one person is present. This works great on control points, as the other team will jump on the point and right into sword range before they realize I'm there. I've taken out two stormcallers in their super this way.

Rockets are also easy long range weapons, but also easy to dodge.

Snipers don't do enough damage, so everyone always runs or flinches me with scouts.

Been trying fusions, but so/so. The charge time and need to aim makes them a high skill weapon. They typically have only 3-4 shots so I don't see a big advantage over other choices there.

Shotguns I abandoned for swords. Getting close almost requires a OHK and most shotguns are 2 shot.
