Yeah it's my first Vex. I've never used the overpowered version so it's hard to say, still don't have much playtime with it. Once I level it I'll have a better idea, but I've got some other guns I want to level first.

Cool, just update once you have some playtime with it and you get it updgraded. Exotics take forever to level up unfortunately. I'm still working on my Universal Remote, seems so slow but I suppose the fact I'm not playing much anymore isn't helping.

You need armor or just shards? I could do a Crota normal run at some point, I still want a Black Hammer.

Yea Bungie made a post in regards to the Mythoclast on how it was not supposed to be affected by the fusion rifle nerf. Since its characteristics are more comparable to that of an auto rifle it completely screwed the gun up. They admitted it and promised a patch to return it to how it used to perform.


The only problem is they didn't say when. Typical Bungie.

i never had the vex before the patch and ive only played with it since its "nerf" and if this gun is in fact "nerfed" i still find it quite op in both pve and pvp. in pve i run the larger clip and pvp i run stability perk or +2 agility combined with the +2 agility on my murmur lol if they boost the vex up to where it was then omg <3

sidethought.. the oversoul is crap at first but can be quite useful on knights and captains in normal strikes and missions once upgraded

You must have played some trashy players because the Vex is straight garbage in PvP now lol.
@f0rge ran crucible with my friends and I where we had a whole team of Vex and got destroyed. Switched back to normal guns and did much better.

[Andrew025]

Was it patched before or after iron banner? Cuz I was wrecking everyone with it in IB.

[Eski]

i think that pvp can be run by certain op guns like the thorn but at the same time i think that any player who is strong in fps pvp style games and knows how to use the class they play to their advantage. ive been playing fps since counterstrike 1.6 on steam and i find crucible super easy with most guns but thats just me. iron banner on the other hand is different of course.

[n2oinferno]

Thorn is only OP in IB, from my experience. Right now the flavor of the week is Red Death.

I haven't ever really been dominated by a VM (since becoming crucible-decent,) and it seems like people wielding them end up with a similar TTK as my Suros Regime since I end up killtrading a lot.

I'm working on my second Thorn bounty right now.. I'm trying to use Atheon's Epilogue, but it's like shooting with a garden hose..

Evergreen II.I is a rare pulse rifle I use. In normal crucible.

Hawkmoon is still a hand-cannon version of a sniper rifle.

I could agree with what you're saying. Most experienced and skilled FPS players have an improved ability to adapt whereas the average player may be unable to adjust to changes quickly. For example, it doesn't matter what guns are OP in Crucible I will switch and use them for the sake of winning. That doesn't mean I don't prefer one type of gun over the other. I'm just willing to deal with it to get the win.

A lot of gamers are stubborn and think more along the lines of this:

"Pulse rifles are so OP now it's stupid. This game is stupid. Why can't auto rifles be this OP since I like using them? This game is broken."

It's ironic because their complaining is the reason there are patches in the first place.

[53Driver]

So what weapon types are currently the ones to "use" in Crucible? So many changes, can't keep pace with it all and since I rarely do PvP I don't usually pay much attention. I recently got Up for Anything and it has great stability, just like Suros, but the consensus seems to be ARs are under-powered for Crucible? Granted high rate of fire/low impact ARs are probably worse than low rate of fire/high impact ARs?
