50+% of the reason I "quit" Destiny was because I couldn't find any weapons I actually enjoyed using.

That theory could be tested pretty easily... (reply)

Someone on reddit was pointing out how you can use the Last Rites Mission to view how the different perks affect the spread and accuracy of your bullets. If someone wanted to, they could do some fairly quick tests to verify Cody's statement. Here's the video about the Last Rites mission.

I'll give this a yep, yep, yep & yep (reply)

You're welcome.

Oh, Invective is still useful. I'm comparing with purples (reply)

Eh? Not even a Warlock's Infinite Ranged Punch of Everlasting Doom can compete with Invective. Probably not on range. Certainly not on stopping power. Perhaps "fun" means trading blows back and forth with the AI enemies until they inevitably pound you into the ground?

Now I'd rather melee fools.

The range nerfs are what killed them, IMO (reply)

Ragashingo — Thu, 07 Apr 2016 04:58:38 +0000

Heh. What range were you shooting things a time?! I live and die by Invective and besides its big adjustment like a year ago (where they messed with reload speed and stability) I've never felt a difference.

If they were reverted to the 100% buff state. (reply)

The range nerfs also hit them hard, and so did the ammo nerfs.

Invective + No Backup Plans? (reply)

Ragashingo — Thu, 07 Apr 2016 02:46:26 +0000

It's the build I use most often... Besides, didn't shotguns historically get a 100% buff, a 50% nerf then a 25% rebuff or something? How much more fun can they get?

Three yeps. LOOK AT THEM FALL! (reply)

I just wish they would make shotguns fun again in PvE. (reply)

At worst, that's trolling Cody, not the thread. :)

Uh huh. How about a source link? (reply)

The 2.0 Patch Notes say:

Fusion Rifles now no longer get more accurate with each projectile fired

Fusion Rifles that are slow charging, high impact now have a slightly lower base Range value, making it harder to max out range for these weapons

Accuracy increased for low range Fusion Rifles; Accuracy reduced for high range Fusion Rifles

Max Fusion Rifle projectile speed decreased slightly

Damage done against AI combatants increased by 15%

Is Accuracy the same as Stability, or is it more the aim assist / magnetism type stuff? If it's the former then sure, you were right, but if its the latter then that would make them no different than any other gun since there's always been some hidden stats affected by Range...

No question it's still good. (reply)

I just claimed there's almost no reason to hipfire it.
