My Current Crucible Builds (Share Your Own!) (Destiny)

I've been running handcannons 99% of the time on my gunslinger, but I decided recently to find one weapon of each type that are complemented by the gunslinger perks.

MIDA is an obvious choice for scout. Bad Juju turned out to be a good fit for pulse. I can spec it out for range and use gunslinger's trance to get more stability. After the first kill it becomes a multikill laser. It also frees up my usual pick of chain of woe so that I can run double knives.

I've also got a laser for auto rifle. I've got a Soulstealer's Claw with perfect balance and counterbalance. Coupled with gunslinger's trance it's very easy to keep it at head level.

I've never been able to bring myself to give up my dual knives for the short term reload boost. Maybe in PvE where a fast reload might equal more DPS or something... it just seems very rare for me to die in the Crucible because I was reloading. Bad Juju + Gunslinger's Trance sounds quite deadly though! I haven't used it in a long while, but when I was on my game, Bad Juju's infinite ammo let me rack up some sweet multikills.

As for Auto Rifles, I only had a couple at the moment on any of my characters. Most recently I had some good experiences with the slower Focused Fire mode of Suros Regime. It's basically a lazy man's Scout Rifle at that point. (Lazy because you don't have to pull the trigger more than once.) I did have to laugh out loud the other day when someone killed me with Atheon's Epilogue, though. :)
