Everyone mad about that is too busy crying to post here. That being said, that's a hell of a nerf. :stare:

Yeah, they originally forecast a 10% drop, that was surprising. Fusion got a 15% buff, so I'll probably switch back.

Eris bounties now give reputation via killing bosses in Crota's end.

So I guess they are re-working the old raids? Why else give people incentive to re-visit them.

so shotguns are still at, what, 165% damage compared to launch? i'm okay with that.

the biggest issue with weapon balances in destiny is that our sandbox updates are so few and far between. give us more frequent balancing patches bungie!!!

Pulse Rifles
•All Stable (low recoil) Pulse Rifles (i.e., Hopscotch Pilgrim) now use “Medium” Rate-of-Fire base stats
•“Medium” Pulse Rifle’s Rate-of-Fire has slightly increased, but with base Damage reduced slightly (2.5%)
•PVP: Bursts-to-kill (all precision hits) is 2 or 3, depending on victim’s Armor stat
•Magazine Size increased on all base stats
•Base Stability reduced slightly. Landing consistent precision shots require more weapon control
•Damage done against AI combatants increased by 25%

agreed, but i always loved how blazing fast a gunslinger with hand cannon gloves could reload fatebringer after 3 headshots in a row

(i don't know if all those things stacked but it always seemed like they did)

third eye seems like they're trying to make it a PvP gun as well... I wonder if it'll pan out

Hereafter also appears to be Black Hammer 2.0 although more better.

That won't let you grind down a boss indefinitely with it, and it's also really hard to get all precision kills on different mobs running around. Good perk.
