Pulse Rifle Maths (Destiny)

So I was thinking.....

Three Little Words, Spare Change, highest impact Pulse Rifles.

They do 38 damage/headshot in PvP for a total of 114 if you can land all 3 rounds on target.

I like to Bubble, so with standard Weapons of Light (25% damage bonus) thats 143/headshot.

Add Illuminated to WoL and now you have a 35% bonus, resulting in 154/headshot.

Now the real fun...

With the reactive reload perk you get a 33% bonus for 3 sec after reloading, after a kill. Very situational but when used with Illuminated Bubbles you get....

205 Total damage for a full 3 round burst to the head.

Now don your Glasshouse and apply Bastion for 60 seconds of skull splitting good times.

The new Hopscotch Pilgrim is easily able to max out stability and keep great range, almost guaranteeing single burst headshots. I would highly recommend this as the heavy pulse rifle of choice.

Side note: Also grab an LDR with Field Scout + Clown Cartridge while WoLing for crucible trolling good times. That's a potential of 8 shots with OHK potential without reloading for a whole minute. I highly suggest this setup in Control because you can predict the location of enemies. It really works great on Shores of Time if you hangout on the platform behind C heavy. You can watch Circle Room Exit, Center Tunnel, and most of B's capture area with almost no movement at all. :)
