Season of the Witch saw Hand Cannons receive a series of huge buffs. These buffs saw Destiny\u2019s most iconic weapons go from arguably the worst Primary guns in PvE to a meta choice that is becoming increasingly popular. The most notable buff given was that their damage against Major combatants \u2013 often referred to as Orange Health Bars \u2013 was increased by a massive 75%. Now the Destiny 2 community is calling for Pulse Rifles to receive the same love, concerned that if left in their current state the burst weapon class will never be an effective option. Destiny 2 players call for Pulse Rifle PvE buff to make them great again As the Destiny 2 community reflects on the current Hand Cannon meta, some players are calling for Pulse Rifles to get the same treatment that led to Destiny\u2019s most iconic weapon becoming so strong. One upvoted Reddit post requesting as such simply stated: \u201cHand Cannon buff was great! Now do Pulse Rifles.\u201d This proposal was received well by the community: \u201cWith Pulse Rifles they could emulate the feeling of the Halo BR which mowed through weak enemies with exposed heads. A significant damage bonus to Red Bar enemies while keeping them less effective against Majors would give them a unique place.\u201d Other Guardians also backed a Pulse Rifle buff replying \u201cPulses need another 15-25% [damage boost],\u201d and \u201c100% agree with this\u2026 Pulse\u2019s just do 30% average less damage than an [Auto Rifle] of the same archetype.\u201d Another player prayed for a meta change: \u201cImagine if we had a non-SMG PvE meta for literally the first time in D2 history. It doesn\u2019t even need to be Pulse Rifles. Just give us a reason to use anything other than SMGs.\u201d Despite overall calls for a Pulse Rifle buff a handful of responses didn\u2019t agree with those fans describing the burst guns as \u201cfine,\u201d and \u201cin a good spot.\u201d If you enjoy using Pulse Rifles we have a Best Pulse Rifles in Destiny 2 guide that breaks down which you should be running in both PvE and PvP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Destiny 2 fans desperate for weakest weapon class to get Hand Cannon treatment BungieDestiny 2 players are calling for Pulse Rifles to get buffed in a similar fashion to Hand Cannons believing that the Primary weapon class is in desperate need of some improvements.
