What do you use when you absolutely, positively must obliterate the enemy?
Primary: I like my Shadow Price with "reloads significantly faster after a precision kill" and "increased magazine capacity" (which puts it up to 42 rounds in the mag).
Secondary: Ice Breaker.
Heavy: I found a Steel Oracle with "radar stays active while aiming down sights" and "rockets explode early based on proximity." Godly.
I'll also mention: I'm a hunter, and I use the Lucky Raspberry. That thing has two great bonuses: More Heavy Ammo, and also "spawn with grenade energy." I make a point of always, ALWAYS throwing my trip mine quickly after I spawn.
Zombie Apocalypse: with more ammo and accuracy increases as it fires. Unless an enemy has rockets ready this gun can usually mow through several people, I think I've had 5-6 kill streaks with it repeatedly.

For some insane reason I didn't buy Lucky Raspberry or Ice breaker when available, I think it's because I already have a pretty good legendary helmets and a nice leg. void sniper.
But yeah, against someone with IB my chances are reduced even more than they are already by my poor abilities.
I regret nothing! not buying those things!
Primary I feel that AR is my most effective, but least fun weapon. I'd rather play sub-optimally with Bad Juju or my legendary HC/SR.

What is your legendary void sniper and how did you get it? That's the one legendary item that has been evading me.

The Supremacy, Queens Bounty drop. Got it early on in the event.
I haven't put any AE into it because it does it's job quite well without it, kill in crucible in 1-2 shots and do big damage on bosses.
For me it's a decent arc damage secondary and Void DMG MG I need. Rockets are great in nightfall for Elite mobs, but not much else. I've only just gotten some fusion rifles (Wizard 77 and used it to complete my Pocket infinity the same day), boy have I been missing out!

I have it in void and arc flavors and with the snap scope it will lose across-the-map engagements to icebreaker kids but it's fantastic for popping off heads as people come around nearby chokepoints

Warlock:
Primary: Vision of Confluence (Scout Rifle) or The Devil You Know (Hand Cannon). Very similar weapons, useful depending on map/mission, though I favor the explosive rounds of the Devil.
Secondary: Praedyth's Revenge (Sniper) or Light/Beware (Fusion Rifle). Six rounds, high stability and quick reload... Best all-around sniper rifle in the game. Light/Beware has a pretty solid charge time and cuts through targets at range. Good for most scenarios.
Heavy: Gjallarhorn. 'nuff said... My Heart of the Praxic Fire chest lets me carry extra Rockets, so once I whip it out, bad things happen.
Titan:
Primary: Praedyth's Timepiece (Pulse Rifle). 30 rounds, fires as fast as you pull the trigger, gets a damage boost from landing body shots, and does Arc damage. Short work of big targets.
Secondary: Ice Breaker. Heavy-hitting, ammo-regenerating, solar damage... Come on, it's the Ice Breaker...
Heavy: The Swarm (Machine Gun). Real nasty punch, extremely accurate and stable, and doesn't chew through ammo. It's the only machine gun in the game that I enjoy using, and combined with my Titan's drop shield, lots of targets drop awful quick...

My favorite gun is the Crucible variant of the legendary pulse rifle Fair and Square. Fully upgraded, it is nice and smooth to shoot. Depending on the map I switch between its shorter range red dot scope and its zoom scope. It's best feature is Third Eye which keeps my radar on at all times. It's great for zooming in and waiting out an enemy who ducked around a corner or waiting for them to exit a control point since it gives me a first shot advantage fairly often. It's second best feature is its name. I put a lot of value in a fair fight so I love that every enemy I kill knows they were killed Fair and Square. :)

I don't play Crucible much, but I just use my Armoury-bought Doctor Nope and my Arc damage Light/Beware with Accelerated Coils when I do. And a blue machine gun.

Titan.
Primary: MIDA Multi-Tool, almost fully upgraded. Radar is always on, even when using the sights which is really useful. It's got a high rate of fire, a 21 round mag (which is TONS for a scout rifle) and is very accurate. It also give +2 agility, which is nice. Only downside is that when sweeping targets or taking fire, the cross-hairs can get away from you if you spam the trigger.
Secondary: The Crash- a void damage shotgun. Six round mag, fast reload speed, extra range boost and I can clean house with it. Couple this with shoulder charge of the titan and setting my skill tree to favor speed above all else, I can run circles all over a map like Shores of time and destroy.
Heavy: It varies, but I tend to do HMGs over Launchers, because I find it easier to get multi kills where I might only find one person with a rocket. I have "The Swarm", which is solar and is slow fire\heavy impact. Only need two head shots to kill, and you get a 35 round mag. You do the math. Accuracy is great too, but the reload speed is terrrrrrible.

Primary: I've previously been using Shadow Price, but the recent update was just the wee push I was looking for to switch back to Scout Rifles, which I'm been having a really good time with! I'm currently working on my recently acquired Mida Multi-tool (Third eye, Hair Trigger, and +2 Agility). If I'm using another exotic elsewhere I fall back to the Cryptic Dragon.
Secondary: For my shotgun needs I'm using The Comedian, though I switch between different shotguns a lot. The comedian is sporting the following:
- When held I'm granted +2 agility.
- Kills with it grant bonus damage for a short time.
- Kills with it grant bonus ammo directly into the magazine.
Yes please.
Heavy: I use the Zombie Apocalpyse and make regular sacrifice to the Machine Lord. With the severely lowered recoil and kills granting bonus damage there's a lot to like here. It also doesn't take a lot to take someone down, do it feels no ammo goes to waste, and I often hang onto it long enough for the next ammo drop!
Finally, IF I decide to use a rocket launcher, which is rare, it's always Gjallarhorn. That's thing's crazy. So often I've been a couple of enemy guardians, fired, and then the Wolf Pack clusters have sought out a sneaky third or fourth player around or corner of behind cover. SO much fun.

Currently I've been using a combination of Suros Regime, Epitaph 2261, and The Swarm. On larger maps I'll sometimes switch to my Aries Nemesis as my primary.

The stranger's rifle is actually very effective in the crucible. With the stability upgrades, you can kill in three bursts, and it's got very good range. It could go toe to toe with an AR. This was before the AR range nerf, so try it out!
It's the reason more than half my primary weapon kills in the crucible are Pulse Rifle Kills :-)

You would LOVE Praedyth's Timepiece. You can pump out three bursts in about a second. I use it on my Titan.

The only gun necessary, unless you have The Last Word.
(Also, sniper: The Chosen, and either the Swarm HMG or the RL you listed sounds great!)

I can confirm that The Last Word with stability upgrade and gunslinger's trance is devastating in crucible.

Gunslinger's Trace is great, but in Crucible I find Chain of Woe to be even better. After a kill, being able to reload more quickly in case you get in another fight right away is mega helpful.

You can equip both at the same time. That's what I do, but equipping gunslinger's trance does take away scavenger, so grenades aren't as quick to recharge.

I'm using the A.1f19r2d2c3p0343spartan117 vanguard scout rifle as my primary. I prefer to hang back at medium ranges and pop shots and this one has very good impact and range. Upgraded it also performs grunt birthday party when killing with headshots, dealing good damage to nearby enemies, and the upgraded mag holds 20+rounds or I prefer the rounds that penetrate multiple players.
I'm trying to focus on a good medium to long primary, because I'm soso with long and short ranges. I think I'll work on a good shotty w range or fusion rifle for closer combat. I play titan so i keep my specials handy for up close work. I tend to swap weapons too much when I have good secondaries. Better for me to just focus on what I do best.
