With weapon armor stats above 160 you can two tap with variety of thing Pulse HC with précision instrument ( the one from kepler ) 390 pulse rifle : 2 burst Ingeous hammer after 3 crit ( proc radiant mod from the artefact ) and précision instrument -> two tap The Health stats does not work in pvp to balance this … 0.5 ttk with peer to peer connection make you feel like lagging

i shotguned someone and then did a melee and the other guy killed me with one melee. in competative if you play clash the kills your team gets dont always register.

we are in the realm of connection and match quality so poor that it should be an acceptable case for refund. only industry were you can sell a broken product and run with the money. Investment weapon stat puts 340rpm pulses right back were they were pre nerf, 180rpm hc have a 0.67 ttk in 3 heads at 157 weapon stat adaptives can 2 burst with similar for a 0.6ttk (definately use these, bygones or third axiom with headseeker can abuse this hard). Theres also some wierd buisness going on with jade rabbit were it will just flat out kill in 2 shots sometimes. Respawning and being softlocked into run animation at crouch walking speeds is frequent. Connection wise its flat out broken, enemy players jumping but their character model stretching then rubber banding to jump destination I could keep listing stuff but whats the point, leadership in the company will not assign resources to fix anything pvp related till marathon and only if it flops.

Skill gap

It's kinda all over the place, those that reached higher tier gear, might have more advantages.

Yeah, as a PvP player, Bungie has completely left us behind. The signs couldn’t be clearer. It’s a mess—you load into a PvP match and have no idea what the time-to-kill is anymore, what the ability balance looks like, or what to expect at all. Bungie once said they wanted to remove RNG from the Crucible—no more things like Hawkmoon’s random bullets or Final Round perks. But now? They’ve built an entire sandbox full of RNG. Tripmines can one-hit, some weapons have absurdly low TTKs (as low as 0.3 seconds), and exotics are influencing abilities to the extreme. It’s honestly kind of funny. Bungie used to follow a cadence: release a DLC, then fix Crucible the following year. Now I understand why they haven’t promoted Crucible at all in this DLC—it’s because they knew it would set the community on fire, and they still don’t have a meaningful answer for how to fix it. At least we’re at the point where it’s obvious: all their focus and effort has gone into PvE. And hey, that part of the game turned out great. The PvE crowd is happy. They got what they wanted… right?

This may sound like a stupid question, but I have not bought EoF and I can only play like 2 game modes. No control, no comp, just dominion and mayhem. Do I need to buy eof to play different modes?
