Let's talk PvP Weapon Balance (Destiny)

Now, it wouldn't be problematic if special ammo wasn't so scarce, but when you get into situations where you have no special, you're really screwed in this game right now. "secondary" weapons are everyone's go-to guns. They're not specific role weapons at all - they're playstyle defining, and they certainly aren't of secondary nature compared to primaries.

I'm having some trouble with your argument. Either everyone's running around with secondaries all the time, or secondary ammo is so scarce you can't actually use them in emergency situations... I don't think you can have both.

(I occasionally get killed by a shotgunner that spins around while I'm hitting him with my primary after I got the drop on him... but I also occasionally get lucky no-scope snipes on someone rushing me that I have no time to counter with my primary. It really seems to work both ways, for me. It seems 'fair'.)
