Up for anything is also about as far as you could get from a HC or SR: high RoF, low(ish) Impact, moderate stability.

Well, no. Saharas, Doctor Nope, Hex Caster ARC, Payback SOS, Atheon's Epilogue, Silimar's Wrath and suchlike are about as far as you can get.

The RoF is at maximum, the Impact is oh so close to minimum, although the stability runs the gamut from very good to awful, depending on the rifle (and on whether they have Perfect Balance or not).

And they're perfect.

Maybe it's an account thing? (reply)

nope. The two emails did not mean two weapons (on ps4. I also have an Xbox copy so I suspect that might explain the two emails despite the Xbox character being under level 20)

Does it cost <= 2 Crucible marks? (reply)

Because that's all I have :(

Soon enough I'll be spending a lot of time in there, as I have been sitting on some exotic bounties that require it. But it's been a loooong time since I've dipped my toes into PvP

Seems like TOT has PvP potential. Very low recoil and Good ROF. But I'm not really a big fan of pulse rifles. They just don't seem like they fit.

Have you tried B Line Trauma yet? (reply)

I got one in an engram that had third eye. It's my crucible scout rifle. Fires as fast as I can pull the trigger. Lil' Blue got one in a drop too. His has explosive rounds and firefly. I'm jealous.

You can buy it from the crucible quartermaster. Here's some vid of it. Fires really fast. Sort of a middle ground between an SR and an AR.

Not really my style, but I'll try it.

The Calling, with zen moment and firefly and explosive rounds. Win?

I'm jelly.

Jealous. The Calling is my jam and it's basically the only Primary that I use anymore. Mine is an older 300 dmg version with Firefly and Explosive Rounds. It's quite beautiful really, the explosions.

The first is a dupe with better perks. The second is fine because my PS warlock needs all the help he can get.

Yeah I'm in a similar boat. I like Hand Cannons in PvE, sometimes Scout Rifles. But I almost always roll with an Auto Rifle in Crucible. My Grim Citizen III has perfect balance and reload perks, couple that with a high rate of fire and mediumish impact and you've got a solid little weapon.

Time on Target was sort of a bummer (I still don't like pulse rifles much), but my Xbox Warlock and Hunter are decently-well geared already, so it wasn't that big of a deal.

The PlayStation was a different story, though. I finally decided a few days ago to properly level and gear my PlayStation Warlock. Her Legendary Surprise was a Devil You Don't hand cannon, which is more in-line with my play style. Combined with the two "useless" Rare gear pieces that were in the mailbox with the DLC, I had some half-decent gear when I finally hit Level 20 last night!

I've only got a level 9 character on the xbox platforms (360 & one) & the last time I played was during the PSN outage.

AR's are all about keeping your weapon on target for long periods of time. It's a different skill than the one required by SRs/HCs which require putting your weapon on a specific target at exactly the right time. ARs are really good in PvE since you can deal with a lot more lower-level enemies quickly than with SRs/HCs.

Up for anything is also about as far as you could get from a HC or SR: high RoF, low(ish) Impact, moderate stability. The Vanquisher seems like the only High Impact, low(ish) RoF, stable AR out there right now; if you can get your hands on one with the right perks, that may be your bridge. I never used them until I started playing more PvP; in PvE I find I have more time to aim with an SR or HC, but in PvP I just miss too often and the AR makes up for that by punishing less for a few missed shots. TTK is still pretty low with a High Impact AR.
