I absolutely despise this meta, would really like to see something similar to Halo where you need to remember spawns around the map so you can go pick up the special, so it's not this constant, endless spam of shotguns and fusion rifles out of every corner.

What do you guys think of the Crucible now?

So.

I've still only had a single Trust drop. I initially hated the roll (hated it strong, I guess--I would prefer a different roll). It has opening shot and hip fire grip. Well, it turns out, that roll is pretty damn good in Crucible. The thing has really good accuracy from the hip, so much so that Trust has become my panic weapon. I just whip it out and start shooting without aiming down sights, and it still destroys. I put Freehand Grip on it for extra hip fire accuracy. It's not quite The Last Word, but damn is it close.

yeah that's what I do. as best as I can, I also maneuver to keep as much range as possible as I like to use pulses over HCs and Auto Rifles, but still the spam is a little too much.

I like it a lot, because it's way more dynamic than Y1D2. The shotgun meta is the price to pay for that - unfortunately most of the maps were not designed for this, and the problem is exacerbated by not knowing what map your are playing until 3 seconds before the game starts. I think you'd see more varied loadouts for specific maps if people had some time to set up.

Trap setting and teamwork is the way to beat shotguns. It's hard unless you play with people and communicate though.

I wouldn't mind seeing some usability buffs to other secondaries. Snipers could have just a touch less zoom, SMGs could have a touch more body damage, and fusions could have some reduced bolt spread (and there could be more of them dropping).

Except Telesto. I love Fusion Rifles but Telesto is bonkers good right now.

Telesto is more annoying right now than shotguns have ever been in the entirety of Destiny.

Hated Telesto. Used it. Destroyed with it...

It's become my main Exotic in Competitive. Reflect their Shotguns/telesto/Supers right back at them.

Sure. At the current exotic drop rate, I should have that particular one by about 2022. What do I do until then? (:

Buy it when they introduce pay to win microtransactions as in the Korean version.

That happens to be one of two exotic armor pieces I've received in Forsaken, but I'm really terrible at timing the slide even against PvE enemies. I haven't even attempted to use them in Crucible.
