Yes, they do need fixing, because almost no one uses them. (Destiny)

Pulse Rifles have been my primary Crucible weapons since the buff they got after the beta. There is no gun I fear when I'm using my Three Little Words. Sure, shotguns will get me in close, but that's their sole jobs. Sniper Rifles will get me at across the map ranges, but that's their job. But outside extremely close or long ranges I can usually outshoot any hand cannon, auto rifle, scout rifle, or even sniper rifle with a pulse rifle. Well... Except the unbalanced Mythoclast. I can beat it but dang that gun infuriates me whenever I see it in play.

If pulse rifles can compete and even win at most ranges do they really need fixing?

We're looking for diversity here; you seem to be an outlier. I can't remember the last time I died to a Pulse Rifle; maybe a Super Pox Volo a few months ago?

It'll be fun to put this to the test on Friday ;)
