    Ehh, idk... I rolled it to the EXACT same stats as messenger using red dot oas and perfect balance... I have red dot oas and braced frame... I also have the same perks as the messenger but with one more trigger pull in the mag and a higher aim assist... so basically if I was actually buying a PR, I'd have to go with the HP unless the messenger was noticeably cheaper....

  • Hopscotch is better. Here's why: 1). It has tighter groupings of the 3 round bursts. This means it is better at range, and is better for ensuring all 3 of bullets are head-dingers. This is undisputed, and is fact. No amount of stability can make up entirely for the innate grouping patterns of pulse rifles. If you don't believe me, try your Spare Change .25 with completely maxed stability and fire it at a wall. Notice that it pulls up and to the left and kind of sprays bullets after multiple shots, regardless of how much stability it has. Compare this to Messenger, and compare that to Hopscotch. Before you say "but Messenger has better range stat", I will stop you there. The range stay in this game does not do what it says it does. I present to you TLW. If you look at its range stat, you will realize it is very low. The gun has the capability to 2-shot people across the map though, with very little damage falloff. The application for this in our conversation is that the maps are too small to notice any real damage drop off in any guns that aren't FR, Shotguns, or ARs. 2). Hopscotch is re-rollable. Seasoned pvp players don't need Third Eye, so it's kind of a wasted perk unless you sit there camping like a scrub aiming down your ADS the whole match. Headseeker is good, but the point is there are better perk combinations. You can roll it identical to a Messenger and it will still be better because of the bullet grouping patterns. You can get Feeding Frenzy (or Outlaw) matched with Reactive Reload for 2-shot body shots after kill. Or you can get things like Battle Runner (highly underrated) for more utility. 3). Hopscotch has better overall stats. Aside from range (which we already know isn't a big deal), Hopscotch is equal to or better than Messenger in every category. Hopscotch has equal impact and ROF. It has better: Stability, Magazine Size, Reload Speed, Aim Assist, and tighter bullet groupings. Tl;dr Hopscotch is better in every meaningful statistical category, and has much more utility because you can re-roll it. This is fact; there are numerous videos from PlanetDestiny, multiple threads on Reddit from people that actually statistically analyze these weapons. Read/watch these resources if you need more information.

    Stopped reading after your range-bullshit. Messenger is far better at range. Hopscotch loses damage at a certain range. I have both and I use the Messenger on huge maps like rusted lands or pantheon to down sniping foes. If you want better Stability, you'll get even less range. If you want Stability and keep the range, you'll get the same amout of ammo (24)...and 24 bullets are more than enough. Braced Frame is the only reasonable stock. Hopscotch has a slightly better stability but far less range, that's all.

  • <3 you Teddy. Nice to see you're still following me around the forums like a lost puppy dog :) I'll go ahead and take your word over my testing + the extensive testing done by PlanetDestiny + the multiple threads on Reddit by people that actually analyze things and crunch the numbers. "I use Messenger on big maps cuz the Range stat bar is higher" sounds like a game-over counter argument. Well done ace. I look forward to reading whatever else you post about anything I post on these forums mate. /brofist

    Muted. :* By the way: It's an argument against the "Hopscotch has the same range!"...because that's untrue. Now move on, nothing else to do here for your sore ass.

  • Yes Teddy. You admit to not reading and call BS. You are right, and the dozens of reviews are all wrong. The stats are also all wrong, just because you said they are. From now on we should all just ask you what's best. Hell, I'll never need google again! Teddy for president.

  • It only looses to Messanger in range. everythign else it kicks ass. And the reroll potential gives you faster reload and dmage boost on reload

  • Is your opinion based off having all 3 weapons? Or are you just speaking from looking at the stats? I have all those pulse weapons. HP (to me) is noticeably better than all. The only one that is up there with it is messenger. But I still think HP beats it with how stable it is. Firing a weapon that strong with true 100% stability makes that gun one of the top legendary primaries ever made in this game

  • I have them both. To each his own. I personally love the 100% stability better on my HP. Both great guns though
