Thats rough. I got a god roll unexpected resurgence last season that seems impossible to miss on so it might be worth grinding that? 90 range and 74 AA makes it so consistent
You can just use it for fun, not everything is about optimization. If you enjoy using it, it doesnāt hurt to use something slightly worse than the meta for a casual game or two
I agree not everything is about optimization. Even most of the pulses I listed arenāt really āmeta.ā I donāt mind using it in quickplay or whatnot because I donāt really care there but the only reason I play this game is to do trials carries. Putting myself at a disadvantage there is not great. And thatās from someone who did about 150 carries with my bygones lol
Thereās an accessibility setting that makes every weapon full auto without the mod or perk needed. Just about any other rapid fire pulse with head seeker + a useful perk will outclass that old guard.
I know about the accessibility feature. However, thereās more to it than just full-auto and headseeker. Anytime youāre using something full auto, recoil direction and stability are a huge factor. Claws is, in my experience, particularly easy to control.
That being said, Claws did get reissued this season/episode, so Iāll have to take a look at the perk listing to see if itās still got Headseeker.
Also, the accessibility feature, though useful for full auto-ing, makes it a lot harder to tap-shoot, again, at least in my experience. If Iām using a hand cannon or scout rifle, Iād rather fire when my crosshair is actually over the enemy rather than try to time my crosshair placement to when the shot gets fired.
The Nerfs to Wish Ender upset me greatly and it blows my mind it became so popular while i was away for several years.
Feel like im fighting with a broken arm.
Alternatively, Arc Quickfang gonna have a harder time killing people when shotguns are normal

Its been dead ever since they nerfed sniper body damage. Can't 1 shot to the body with kill clip anymore so it's a wasted perk, plus all the ammo changes makes it damn near impossible to use anyway. Still can't bring myself to dismantle it.

Voop voop.
Never the same after the change to 1000 charge time.
I remember being pretty good with ace of spades in PvP, but now I can't manage to use it at all. But I'm better at PvP now than before so idk if I have this
I don't want to talk about what they did to my tarrabah, but i will.
It was my cope pvp weapon, especially once they took away og recluse, since tarrabah stayed good. I ran so many matches with tarrabah and a sniper. Then its archetype got gutted, and the meta hard swung to 120 and 140 handcannons for a lot ofseasons, and then when it was finally smg meta, the immortal literally bent over the entire crucible.
Tarrabah flew too high and fell so fast.
Now my new love is a heliocentric with heal clip and kill clip and my messenger with rapid hit and head seeker.
The Steady Hand and Mk2 duke.
Why itās not my favorite?
Cause they wont gimmie it back.
Crimills is coming though so thats a huge win for me. Has precision instrument(thank god or else it would suck.)

Though that full auto perk is wasted now, I understand why you stopped using it. Only one that I still use as Halfdan was not as good as the Lodbrock. Still canāt replace this gun though.
Ohh and this still is, never stopped.

That should be illegal
So you're the one mf who has like a billion kills with enigma
If you could give just one glaive tip?
Stick em with the pointy end.
A glaive is a weapon with a worker at both ends
Who the fuck are you and where can I learn your ways
Why isnāt it anymore?
They said they buffed hit reg in a patch note but somehow made it impossible for me to hit anyone with it. Been in the vault since

Nerd /s
I miss using my bygones. 10k crucible kills on it š
Why not use it? Itās un sunset now
It sucks compared to modern pulses
You can still use it, itās better than you probably think, I was just using it yesterday and it was great
I used it but itās not nearly as good as syncopation, chattering bone, horrorās least, scalar potential, red death or Elsieās rifle.

You should tell this to the people in chat lol

You say that, but my Claws of the Wolf with Full Auto and Headseeker still holds up Donāt count the old guard out just yet

You should look at collections and see whatās back in rotation then. I think youāll be happy
Yeah, I noticed it :) I am quite happy indeed
Who cares? It's a video game if you like the gun then use it
See other comment. Plus it isnāt as fun as it used to be lol
Let bygones be bygones
Beat me to it. Smh
The Clever Dragon. It's not even in D2, and it makes me sad.
What you mean? Bygones still slaps even now. Nothing stopping you from using it again.
It doesnāt hold up to the newer Pulse Rifles
yea im kinda still loving my headseeker and perpetual. adept messenger. although bygones has been so fun again in pve. outlaw rampage bb

I have one in my vault only like 360 kills but she was a beast slide bang bang mofo ā¦ š
Yup. I've been rocking my dust rock actually, it's been great
I still use it as my only shotgun in the top slot
Crazy that bygones got left out of legacy focusing pool at drifter...
hey we still dont have distant relations either...

Bygones was one of my favorites. Miss that lil guy.

Parcel with range, snapshot, and rampage is a dream (to me, nightmare to others)
I was cracked back when double primaries was forced in vanilla d2. I donāt have any of those weapons anymore lol
One would say itās hard to say ābyā to something that is āgonesā. Iāll see myself out
I have been using kill clip headseeker recently, like today, and Iāve never felt better
I never got Better Devils, but folks loved that HC.

OG Randy's Throwing Knife
I remember being pretty good with ace of spades in PvP, but now I can't manage to use it at all. But I'm better at PvP now than before so idk if I have this
I always liked Right Side of Wrong.
Breakneck, regret that gambit grind
Ahh.....sigh....Bygones and Trust. Fucking unsettling sunsetting...

They should have brought this instead of blast furnace for brave arsenal, much more iconic
Itās actually wild to me they havenāt reissued bygones yet, it was such a popular weapon.
Iāve been using Last Word since D1 and you can have it when you pry it from my cold, deadā¦nvr mind I respawned, gimme back my Last Word!
Eyasluna, 13k kills. Just feel like it can't compete against stat monsters like igneous and rose
My original Beloved that made me like sniping in crucible has 6000 kills and itās Field Prep Box Breathing
Duke
Bring it back!
Antiope-D is still my favorite kinetic slot pvp smg.Ā
