Unfortunately it's not just pve. I'm all for keeping both elements of the game completely separate and hate to see one change effect the other. It's always been my position to keep them both independent. Same with shotguns and certainly it's the same as golden gun. Pretty useless pve wise (unless celestial nighthawk is involved) but pvp is just straight up nasty. The sun breakers had to much armour. They can sponge up rockets and then just kill the launcher to gain a full health bar. In competitive modes like trials, I say it's a problem.
