Golden gun is a problem in pvp

Between one shot melee that almost tracks around corners to a super that last longer than most other roaming supers and that can one shot cross the map. Golden guns range should be reduced and remove the "kills extend super duration" in pvp. Why do the super even have that active in pvp?

    Golden Gun on Prismatic actually sucks IMO lol. But yeah on Solar that thing can absolutely ape with the right setup. You have to really be aware of the person proc'ing it and either go for them in a planned way or just get the hell out of Dodge. I usually just ease back. Their heel is the fact you can have one person sacrifice and distract them while somebody else long ranges their brain. It's no worse than a few of the other supers if the team handles it. But if they get a good pathway it can absolutely just kill a game lol.

    Golden gun, continue freezing, invisibility, smoke bombs and other tricks that make Hunters overpowered in pvp.

      • You do realize that Hunters get no damage resistance in Golden Gun though, right? You do realize Warlock’s Novabomb can curve corners and create summations that also 1-tap, while having a damage resistance and the super itself acting as a shield for incoming forward damage, right? You do realize Titan’s have a Thundercrash that can be controlled like a manual missile, while having Damage Resistance, right? Stop complaining about every little thing that kills you in PvP.

        • As a Hunter Main, I do agree Gold Gun is problematic. Should be limited to six shots. Thats my thoughts. We got gear and now IB armor to gain our Super back much faster. We dont need 20 GG shots as long as we get kills. Thats just absolutely absurd

        • agree that golden gun is OP in pvp but there are no more balance patches, just disabling broken stuff golden gun isn't changing

        • They’re called [u]supers[/u] for a reason. Not, “mids” or “semi-okays”. Nobody complains that warlocks can basically lob a purple planet that tracks you around corners and spawns mini tracking bombs. Just accept that another player is going to kill you eventually. It happens 😂

          • Yeh i agree, GG Hunters should have a silencer when you pop it so people with a brain don't run away and hide from it

            Deadshot is one of if not the shortest super and loses the OHK after I think 35-40 meters. Kills buy maybe 1 second in pvp. Marksman only gets 3 shots, meaning 3 chances for a kill and needs a head shot against most if not other super to win Both supers have no special movement tech like spamming melee to move faster or teleporting multiple times, and they have the lowest resistance in the game. It's literally just a high powered weapon with more limited usage than any other super. Meanwhile how long are other supers? How fast and agile are they? How quickly do they activate? How durable are they? How many more chances do they get to kill a player? If that's too strong, then every other super is several times more broken and also need nerfs for the same reasons or so they don't dip into the "fantasy" other classes are supposed to have like Fist of Panic being able to outrun most if not every super in the game despite speed being part of what's supposed to make hunters special.

              • They nerfed GG too much. It doesn't last long enough, and its range is dog ship.

                • The super was just nerfed! At least I can kill the golden gun by positioning well... Some supers I have no chance against. You will not convince me that it is any better than a Voidwalker with Blink Helmet teleporting around in their super.

                  Never seen this as a problem. You can hear it miles away and then you should just be in cover for awhile. There is other supers that I am more afraid of.

                • It already has fall off damage. Across the map, as you say, takes me two crit shots to get a kill.
