Nerf Graviton Spike in PvP
I know this is going to be relatively spicy in terms of replies from everyone, but in my honest opinion. Graviton Spike is quite honestly the most busted hand cannon exotic in PvP let alone exotics designed for PvP. Reason is simple: Stasis mode, now I don't mean to say, "Nerf it for PvE", nor am I asking or saying "Make it more useless then Manticore". All I am trying to ask and say is that it is a no skill exotic that literally only requires to switch to stasis mode, and win the game, this goes especially for those who are consistent headshots (the actual ones, not the controller add-ons or additional cheat window ones).
I think that maybe tuning it to where there is damage fall-off at a reasonable range vs. the Xenophage Problem Solver 9000 levels of point and delete or at least doing something to balance out the actual need of having to do the exotic gimmick. From experience of recent PvP, I have died to more stasis mode at SCOUT RIFLE range (both enhanced and normal stasis mode) than I have died to its arc mode.
Just food for thought, I know people love the hand cannon, and so do I, but make it reasonable instead of an instant benefit/reward without effort in the PvP sphere.
Note: BY ALL MEANS DON'T TOUCH IT IN PvE, ITS FINE THERE

They just need to disable it in pvp…

Used it in PvP to see what’s the hype, damn that thing is easy mode. Pushing people out of corners with stasis is so fun 😂

I can outshoot it with Skyburner's Oath. It really isn't that deep.

1 ReplyCompletely agree. It is busted out of its mind. On top of all that, the stasis crystals being created are also just stupid, pushing you out of cover, blocking your way back, and making your screen shake like you were just shot with an explosive payload the size of a -blam!- bus. So not only do they have a ttk advantage, you also can't shoot back and can't get out. Hope it is nerfed soon. Frankly, the ability to switch between a 150 and 120 alone is good enough for an exotic imo. Makes it more versatile than any other hand cannon.

The stasis overcharged thing is 100% getting a nerf. I just hope they don’t nerf it too badly, it’s nice to have a hand cannon be able to stand up to a pulse for once

1 ReplyOr just bring back my og NF so I can 2 taps as well.

Your a joke

This is one of the few times I think a hand cannons is okay because a 2-tap is tied behind getting a kill or landing shots. The only thing I would change, and this is for all hand cannons, is not being able to 3-tap with no buffs.

3 RepliesI agree with you. No HC minus Eriana's should be able to one shot. Something needs to happen with this gun. It's getting ridiculous with the shield camps and the overuse of that HC. PVP is a dumpster fire all on it's own, without providing players with a reason to sit and camp. It's boring. I played a team that NEVER left spawn. They would run to the closest wall, pop shield and wait. You so much as peak the corner to figure out your next move and you were dead in one shot and if you had a teammate dumb to crawl up your booty hole, they died too do to jolt. It was incredibly boring and an incredibly frustrating experience when playing with randoms without coms. Stop creating guns that make an already mundane 6ft under experience and put it into full on zombie mode. Sony is crazy for wanting anything to do with Bungie. The glory days of d1 is forever lost and I for one miss it.
