Could be good for PvE as well as PvP. I know ammo isn't always an issue for Specials now, but when it is it practically cripples you. When you're limited to just one weapon, it really messes with your head.
Now, when was the last time you ran out of primary ammo, and there was literally none around for you to pick up? We're getting TWO primaries, so ammo troubles in PvE will be much easier on us all.
I don't know about you, but I look forward to having two weapons that I'll always be able to swap between, without having to rely so heavily on one of them. SMG in one slot and a Scout in another.

This is some truly twisted logic. Dude, In a shooting game, Bungie thinks its great to have 3/4 weapon types that you wont have any bullets for. Kinetic weapons suck, and are generic as all hell. Basically no....it's[b]FRIGGIN DUMB.[/b]

Edited by Phathas: 5/29/2017 4:10:48 AMIf they don't properly balance how PvE encounters are going to work, it'll be a slog. They'll also need to noticeably improve special weapons moved to the power slot. Most notably Shotguns and Fusions. Shotguns have to compete with swords. Fusions are not that super effective in PvE. Rockets maybe get neglected on the sheer fact all our supers are offensive roaming ones now for mass area clear. Snipers, or high DPS exotic weapons, will likely dominate the heavy slot with little to no variety. The likely PvE ideal loadout I predict will be Hand Cannon + Scout + Power Weapon unless they finally make full auto weapons (and other higher RoF weapons) not bad in PvE because currently Scouts and Cannons can trash mob enemies in one or two hits, moreso if AoE perks are available (Firefly, explosive rounds, etc), ESPECIALLY if Explosive rounds remains functionally the same in D1 and D2 (as currently it's just a flat damage bonus in PvE in like >90% of all situations), and remains a scout and cannon exclusive perk (which, FYI, Sunshot is going to likely be a fantastic PvE hand cannon). Significant changes will need to be made for this to not be an annoying change.

It completely cripples boss dps tho, nobody uses a primary on a boss because they suck

I've run out of primary ammo several times in WotM.
