Can you obtain coldheart from engrams, or was it pre-order bonus only?

I would assume the new story missions is where you'd want to go first / getting to the 25 cap?

ok, sounds like pretty much the reason i use nezarec's paired with a void damage energy and power weapon in both slots. guess i'll keep rolling with that!

Karnstein is great for hectic, ad-heavy sections and for stormcallers for the mini-devour effect, but Nezarec's is faster for cooldowns, and with devour proccing on every kill you get the same effect.

Keep rolling Nezarec's, man. It still owns bones.

You can pull it out of engrams, and autos are used to infuse it up.

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.
Prometheus Lens seems like the best standalone grunt killing weapon in the game but it burns through ammo like hell (appropriately). Every kill takes like 5-10 ammo and reloads ~20 into the clip so you never need to reload if there are trash mobs around. Also they sort of self-immolate on death which is nice.

While I really hope I'm proven wrong, Scout Rifle nerf will probably err on the side of telling people on both sides "Everything is fine, just Git Gud :smug:" while MIDA still reigns and High impact scouts still get poo poo on.

MIDA had 100 aim assist stat (and my buddy the Skyburner had 80). Nameless Midnight of course was the runner up for Kinetics 62 assis, while the Manananrama had 72, making the explosive guns the most aimassisty this side of exotics. Meanwhile High Impact scouts got assist stats in the 30s ranges,

So if that's implemented simply as stated, lowring of aim assist at longer rangers. PvP will still be allow for comfortable MIDA standoffs, while the scout rifles will be kind of extra hosed against PvE enemies taking potshots at you which are why you brought a scout rifle in the first place over a hand cannon.

Aim assist nerfs you won't really see hurt the MIDA would still screw over most Scouts for PvE for doing their supposed job. While any amount of aim assist slashing that would seriously effect PVP, would REALLY gently caress over PvE scout mans. Or I guess you can pick up a long range scope scout and make it useless for half the combat from the other direction :v:

i don't know if you're thinking of consoles specifically but aim assist in regards to pve on the PC seems like a moot point since AI enemies move incredibly predictably, or slowly, or basically not at all while they're being shot so it's very easy to cap domes (and/or tummies in the case of the vex), no aim assist really required

Coming from Overwatch I 100% attribute my near constant stream of flick headshots to some combination of aim assist, hitbox, projectile size, and predictable movement.

I'm in for a rude awakening when I finally go back into a competitive fps.

Well yeah, for anything that isn't "please bring a scout rifle to avoid falloff" rangers. When you're getting shot at, you'd like to hit skull with your scout on the first two tries rather than "Whoops, only hit that distant psion in the chest so he isn't quite dead-ooooh he killed a teammate."

Or rolling your eyes as your high impact scout rifle with one of the highest range stats in the game like the Frontier Justice can't quite finish off explosive drones in the exodus black strike mission in three shots even though those are super easy targets. "okay, fine. I'll two-shot them from across the room with my Skyburner handcannon. Sure glad scouts are so fairly treated when they aren't named MIDA or Midnight."

Obviously this being a console shooter played with KB+M has given my middling aim a huge leg up. But scouts that are not the meta darlings don't let me nail headshots while strafing five feet past someone's skull like a handcannon at twice it's optimal range to double tap an enemy that needs three shots to kill in a scout's optimal scope range. Being told "Just aim better!" is cold comfort when even consistently hitting your shots can end up pretty lackluster as it is with most scouts.

EDIT: What part of "I'm talking about the impact an intended PvP/MIDA nerf will have on PvE/Not MIDA", seems to be going over heads? (This was a rather poor response to SMG chat, I'll admit)

i have never really had that issue ever but except for maybe submachineguns in pvp i never fire from the hip only iron sights, which i think you're supposed to do a lot in this game, so that's on me.

edit: what i will say, and have said before, i have a lot of issues with guns having really misaligned sights in the first place so you need to relearn where your bullets are landing

I don't think it's going over my head at all? I'm saying that PvP/MIDA nerfs will have a very minimal impact on PvE/Not Mida, because autoaim is less impactful in PvE than it is in PvP in the first place

edit: come to think of it technically my opinion on that applies regardless of whether you're using a gamepad or kb+m
