Elsie’s Rifle is single-handedly going to get High Impact Pulses Nerfed
Console player using roller here. And I can honestly say I’ve never been two bursted more by a high impact pulse than I have these past couple weeks. And every time it happens, it’s Elsie’s with Zen/Headseeker. Every time.
I ain’t trying to hate on high impacts. I love my Messenger and have well over 10K crucible kills with it across different rolls. And I’ve enjoyed Red Death this season even after the nerfs. And I think that, at least on console, high impacts have been pretty fair up until Elsie’s with Zen/Head.
I just don’t wanna see all high impacts nerfed because one widely available gun rolls with two perks that completely remove any risk attached to using a high impact pulse. I’d rather see Zen removed from Elsie’s (high impacts in general). They’ve done this before with QuickDraw on aggressive frame shotties.
Is this specific to Trials? Asking because as someone who cant stand PvP and don't know the maps but gave it a go in the latest IB I was not particulary successful using an Elsie's with just that, zen and headseeker. I quickly switched to Khvostov, which was way more forgiving to a "newb" like myself. But again, I could see there being a different preference for people who actually know what they're doing, know the maps and play in a more strategic fashion in game modes with less people on the map.
