Bad Juju is an Exotic weapon that first appeared in the original Destiny and was brought back in Destiny 2 during Season 7. Its unique ability is String of Curses, which increases damage and Super Energy when chaining kills together. While String of Curses remains a top-tier perk, the same cannot be said of its other traits. Neither Hip-Fire Grip nor its ability to fire full-auto is unique today, with the latter being a toggle in Destiny\u2019s settings. With two of its three unique traits being power crept the community is now pleading for Bungie to give Bad Juju some love. Destiny 2\u2019s PvP community proposes new Bad Juju perks Explaining why a Bad Juju rework is necessary, one Guardian posted on Reddit: \u201c\u2026there have always been two aspects that hold this gun back from being a decent pick for PVP specifically. Range, and the wasted HipFire Grip perk. Given it\u2019s actually an exotic weapon but beat out by literally all lightweight pulse rifles in the game\u2026 it\u2019s time it should actually breathe.\u201d As for what alternative Perks would benefit Bad Juju, OP proposed Keep Away, Fragile Focus, Encore, and Killing Wind believing these would give the Exotic Pulse Rifle \u201cmore uptime as an actual choice.\u201d Another player chimed in, \u201cI think the main thing would be to give it some more base range so it can compete with other weapons in the same archetype. Hipfire is niche too. Maybe this gun becomes craftable since it had its own exotic mission back in the day\u2026\u201d A different user highlighted a flaw with String of Curses in PvP, \u201cYou didn\u2019t even mention how after the changes to Intellect and how kills affect your Super, that half of its Exotic perk barely even does anything now. You don\u2019t really get faster Supers by using it.\u201d Not everyone was on board with a Bad Juju rework defending the Exotic\u2019s performance in PvE, \u201cIt honestly is really good in PvE, relative to other pulses. But not every gun needs to excel in both PvE and PvP. Some have their niches and that\u2019s okay.\u201d In PvE, Bad Juju is considered a strong Exotic when used with loadouts that rely on Super spam like the meta Celestial Nighthawk Hunter build. However, it has little use in PvP and is outperformed by several Legendary weapons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Destiny 2 PvP mains beg Bungie to rework Bad Juju\u2019s \u201cwasted\u201d perks BungieDestiny 2 PvP players have begged Bungie to rework Bad Juju by replacing its outdated perk pool with superior alternatives worthy of its iconic status.
