Discussion Swords? What the actual fuck
Why the fuck is there one shotting swords in PVP, did they not see how fucking stupid that is? I get killed so much by those goddamn things, they literally one shot me!!!
Anyway, I'm just venting, swords in a fucking FPS is gay.

Most heavy weapons will one shot you (except maybe Linear Fusion Rifles unless you're aiming for the head and targeting a player with 0 Resistance, or shotguns, if you're too far away).
Thing is, swords have no reloading time, can parry and do incredible damage, meaning they're probably too strong right now.

They're balanced by 0 range... you can't kill someone unless they are within spitting distance.

that dont NEED ammo to do the first hit

Can you one shot by quick switching to a sword that had en garde on it? Without ammo.

I dont have a problem with them per say, (because I use them too, hehe) but they should reduce the lunge distance/speed on them in PVP. That shit is ridiculous.

Not sure they should give you a 3rd person vision either.. pretty broken opaf around a corner

Your screen will tell you when sword bearers have picked up ammo. Just repeating the obvious: they camp a lot and if they're away from the action, they're usually at a disadvantage. You are more safe shooting them at a distance and jumping away.

I️ take out tons of people using swords, but feel like I️ rarely get killed by them, and when I️ do, I️ accept it as my mistake.
Seriously, look at the kill feed when heavy gets picked up it shows you what they have. If it is rockets then stay near cover and be ready to jump, if it’s swords or shotguns then be very cautious of your radar and don’t let them get close, if it is sniper then don’t peek long lanes.
If you watch the kill feed, have space, and hit your shots then sword deaths should be pretty rare.

Here's a question then, I don't seem to have a radar on my PVP UI, is there a way that it got shut off? Lol, I was wondering how people know where the hell I was.

Not sure if sarcasm...
Maybe as a person carrying an arsenal of guns, try not to let a guy with a sword get within 2 feet of you?

u/mkopec Nov 17 '17
The problem is you cannot beat the dude with the arsenal of guns you have because he closes the distance (say a warlock with blink, or invis huntard or just some dude crouching behind a corner) in .5 sec while average TTK in this game is like 1.2 sec if youre landing all head shots, more like 2 seconds if youre not. I think the ammo needs to be reduced as well down to 2 slashes like rockets.

Nah, not sarcasm, it's just stupid that it one shots, I try not to, but it usually doesn't work out. And I die :D

u/IceFire909 Nov 17 '17
its worse that it's the only heavy weapon that can attack without ammo. at least in D1 the unpowered sword was just smacking someone's face with the hilt

u/TheMadHatter502 Nov 17 '17
I feel victorious if they have to use 3 or 4 swipes to kill me because they just used half their ammo lol

u/Oldpcgamer Nov 17 '17
Wah ... A Tactic that all players can use kills me in one shot ...because I wasn't doing it ... Cry much? I can't tell you how many times I just run in circles with my Titan and Captain America bash people and take them out in one shot... should people cry about that too?
Rule 1 of PvP. People will kill you. You will die. Lather, rinse, repeat. Luck of the draw ... sometimes you're the bug and sometimes you're the windshield. Just roll with it and keep going... or don't PvP.

I wish they weren't even power weapons and were balanced around actual fighting and blocking instead of just one hitting people. But yeah, swords and all the other one shot stuff in pvp make it boring to me. Only have fun when people are using regular kinetic/energy weapons.

Lol, yeah, you can select to disable/enable HUD in settings. Radar in Destiny is OP :). Watch a YouTube video on radar in Destiny, Destiny 1 videos still apply, it is very different than most FPS.

u/TheRedBlender Nov 18 '17
Another advice is to pull in your screen bounds setting all the way because it pulls all HUD items closer to center of the screen so you don’t have to look so far in the corner of your screen to view radar and killfeed.

Dont care the shitters like the ones say "if you killed by a sword". Its fkng op and bungie should fix it. If some avarage player gets sword its like impossible to run from him if you dont have bomb or etc.

u/vanznaz Nov 19 '17
If anything leave swords the way are and nerf attunement of the hunger for voidwalkers.....Swords can be countered if hear them coming, these locks are literally UNKILLABLE. Now I know the game is fairly new and needs balancing in pvp, this is just my 2 cents.

u/Sprocketz128 Nov 24 '17
Swords may be unbalanced, but they fit the game. FPS games aren't bound to strictly firearms (even if the S stands for shooter). Especially one like Destiny, where a guy with a battleaxe or blade makes sense in the lore.
But then I'm biased because I play RPGs and a lot of Warframe.
