Hello everyone,
I have all the raid weapons exept for the sniper and I can say that among all of them the pulse riffle is the weakest of them all.
The hand canon: pretty awesome, one of the best hand cannons right now (at least for me)
The shotgun: Decent enough.
The fusion rifle: very good one, awesome impact.
The heavy weapons: both rocket and machine gun are very good.
the Scout riffle: Awesome.
Im not sure about the sniper; but I havent heard of anyone complaining.
But when it comes to the pulse riffle, it feels pretty weak, even compared to regular legendaries (I have like other 3 regular ones). It has such low impact that I have to use a full clip to kill the smalles enemies (well actually not that much, but I found myself realoading before killing some enemies a lot).
So, considering most weapons from the raid (the hardest instance of the game so far) are pretty good while not being OP, I would like to see an improveMent in that particuLar weapon.
What do you thinK?
:)

It's at best a shell of the weapon it could be. Easily the worst raid gun available. Sure shot IS is the sight the timepeice should have received. I think the biggest problem with the timepiece compared to the fatebringer other than low impact (hits like a wet noodle) is the sights available. The Fatebringer has the option for a sight with superb target acquisition where the timpiece has only enhanced target acquisition. For the record the vision of confluence also has superb target acquisition and it's awesome. This makes a huge difference in how the weapon handles precision shots. Coming from a mostly PC history of FPS play I am pretty sensitive to how strong auto aim can be in modern console shooters. Any weapon with a superb target acquisition sight enabled has such strong aim assist enabled it's almost impossible to miss a critical shot. For example, enable STA on a weapon a shoot a shielded Cabal but aim for their gun... it reads immune most of the time. Why? Well because the aim assist is so strong it's attempting to hit the head behind the shield despite explicitly aiming elsewhere. It's a a treat to use but makes most OP hand cannons even better. This sight should be on the timepiece especially as the timepiece has a buff for increased critical damage when body shots have landed. Enable STA and the timepeice is worth having and bragging about. Until then it's just filler until another Arc primary is found. I prefer to use pulse riffles over hand cannons but it really feels like Bungie wants players to use hand cannons.
