Here is a weapon and catalyst that anyone can get and it works, so classic Bungie nerf it to death. Players are sick of these selective knee jerk responses, no wonder player count down one more irritant.
Hand cannons for a long time have been generally way over the top, But Bungie and certain streamers love them so no action.
