The fantasy MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV has unveiled its plans for the upcoming patches 3.3 and 3.4.
There was a live letter from Naoki Yoshida, the mastermind behind Final Fantasy XIV. In these live letters, Yoshida always reveals the big and small plans for the coming months. Currently, Final Fantasy XIV is in patch 3.2. In Yoshida’s explanations, it mainly concerns patches 3.3 and 3.4 – that should be enough until the end of summer. The content patches of FF14 always contain a full program for the various types of players – what exactly comes in terms of quests, side quests, and raids is usually detailed again in the time before the patch is officially presented.
Patch 3.25 will be released on March 29. The interim patch is mainly about the new PvP mode “The Feast,” which is supposed to reduce waiting times and lead to fairer matches.
Many improvements in the foreseeable future will focus on player comfort. We summarize the letter in key points:
Healers are supposed to hit enemies more easily in dungeons.
The “parry” value will be addressed in patch 3.4 or in 4.0.
Party Finder is planned
They are working on a party finder that is supposed to come in patch 3.3. A cross-server group finder is planned for the time afterwards.
With 3.3, the next Void Ark raid will come.
Patches 3.25 and 3.3 will provide new development levels for the Anima weapons.
Patch 3.3 will increase the item cap for crafters and gatherers.
From patch 3.4 onwards, they want to regularly bring new Hildibrand side quests.
Switch classes, automatically equip the best gear
They are also working on a feature that allows players to equip the best gear for their current class.

In the coming months, several releases of so-called hero shooters for PC, Playstation 4, and Xbox One are to be expected. With Overwatch, Battleborn and Paladins , there are 3 promising incarnations of this genre to choose from. But which of the games should you choose? What can you expect from each title, and which fits best with your personal preferences? We have created a comparison and try to introduce you to the individual games.
Paladins – Free2Play action with collection factor
From the developer studio HiRez comes the game “Paladins: Champions of the Realm.” What was initially planned as a title with few characters but many customization options in the first weeks of beta testing has now changed significantly. Similar to SMITE, the developers’ MOBA representative, they want to establish a high number of heroes whose play style can only be slightly adjusted in matches.
The core aspect of the game is fast-paced, tight matches where players compete against each other in a classic 5vs5 manner on different maps. The game modes differ only slightly (so far): sometimes control points must be captured, or special payloads must be escorted. This is somewhat “ordinary,” but certainly solid and fun.
The selection of characters is currently still small, but they all have different abilities and can be individually adjusted a bit. From the protective knight with a large shield to the stealthy elf assassin and a fanatical dwarf engineer, everything is represented.
Unique features: Free2Play, card system
Unlike other representatives of the genre, Paladins is supposed to remain Free2Play even after release, meaning you do not have to spend a single cent to get a comprehensive picture of the game.

Another factor is the card system. In Paladins, various champions can be improved and customized through “game cards” to give abilities additional effects or make characters simply more resilient. Cards can be earned through in-game currency or purchased with real money. The same goes for the champions themselves.
DLCs – What is there after the launch?
Since Paladins wants to follow in the footsteps of the MOBA “Smite,” the future of the game is clearly defined. New characters and thus additional maps are to be introduced at more or less regular intervals, which allow for further adjustments to the abilities.
New heroes are already in the works.
It is important to mention that Paladins: Champions of the Realm is currently still in a very early beta stage. The developer studio HiRez does not shy away from completely throwing design ideas overboard to try something new.
In The Division, you can create skill modifications to adapt them to your playstyle. We want to present these clearly.
In The Division, each skill – except for the individual skills – has three different modifications that you unlock by upgrading the wings of the operations base.
Additionally, each skill has a Master Mod: The Master Mods are unlocked when all upgrades of a wing have been completed. They function additionally to the equipped mod and do not need to be selected separately.

14 variations for the Weekly Brawl mode of Overwatch have already been discovered. We present them to you.
Harsh Randomness and Strict Restrictions
Inspired by the card chaos in Hearthstone , Overwatch gets a “Weekly Brawl” mode that comes with numerous crazy game settings. A total of 14 variations of this mode have now been extracted from the game files, we present them to you:
Mystery Heroes – After each death, a random hero is assigned to the player, who must be played until the next death. Therefore, there is no free hero selection.
Super Shimada Bros. – Only Genji and Hanzo can be selected as heroes on the map Hanamura. The cooldowns of the abilities are drastically reduced, while the cooldowns of the ultimates are increased.
Justice rains from Above – All players can only choose Mercy or Pharah.
Arcade – More health points for everyone. Shorter cooldowns and faster respawn timers.
We’re all soldiers now – All players can only choose Soldier: 76 to capture the various control maps.
Show your Support – Only support heroes can be chosen. A maximum of two of the same hero per team.
Tanks a Lot – All tank heroes can be chosen. A maximum of two of the same hero per team.
Overly Offensive – Only offensive heroes can be chosen. A maximum of two of the same hero per team.
Overly Defensive – Only defensive heroes can be chosen. A maximum of two of the same hero per team.
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly – Only McCree, Reaper, and Roadhog can be chosen as heroes.
Head’s up! – Only snipers can be chosen (McCree, Genji, Hanzo, and Widowmaker) and only headshots deal damage.
High Noon – All players must play McCree on the map “Route 66”. Only headshots deal damage. Those who enjoy westerns will likely be happy with this.
MOBA-watch – Each hero may only appear 1 time per team. The heroes cannot be switched during the round.
Girl Power – Only female heroes may be played.
According to current plans, these special game modes are supposed to change weekly. However, during the current beta, they rotate daily – so if you are lucky enough to have beta access, you should check in every day to judge which variations are really fun and which are rather painful.

In the MMO shooter Destiny the next patch will also bring new weapon traits. But what are they?
During the last livestream for Destiny on Wednesday they only wanted to showcase the new game content. The new items were not actually supposed to be the focus.
When the Bungie employees’ fireteam finally showed a weapon after the “Challenge of the Elders”—the sniper rifle Her Fury at 335 Light—they were able to catch a glimpse: the weapon revealed two new, yet unknown nodes.
What exactly this means, Bungie intends to reveal to us on Wednesday in the next livestream.
YouTubers have closely examined the images and made some findings. For instance, in the detailed description of “Her Fury,” the third trait reads “Activates a Red Chroma glow”—practically, that a red glow emanates from the weapon.
A step towards cosmetics and weapon skins in Destiny?
YouTuber DPJ connected this with images from the April update, where such a glow was noticeable.

At the moment, it looks like the “new nodes” are mainly visual improvements so that weapons get a different look—with a glow. The topic of “weapon skins” has long been a wish of the community. As early as October 2014, data miners found hints that Destiny had some plans for shaders. But since then, nothing has been heard about it.
Perhaps with such “cosmetic nodes” on other weapons or even armor pieces or ghosts, it might be possible to give guardians the “Possessed Look” that we know from the image:
On Wednesday we will find out if this is indeed what is behind it. Could the new queen’s weapons envelop the guardians in a shimmer? And how would you feel about that.

Also Annie will receive some changes in the big Wizard Update at RiotGames’ League of Legends.
Originally, there were only going to be 6 wizards that Riot wanted to change with the Wizard Update in the MOBA League of Legends (LoL). However, this list of the 6 wizards now also includes Annie with her big friend “Tibbers”. Annie also fits the profile of the update, as she is one of the wizards who is not particularly mobile.
Annie in LoL: Easy to play – hard to master
Annie is among the champions that are often recommended to beginners when they want to try a wizard hero in League of Legends. The low purchase price (450 IP) also attracts many players to enter the Rift with Annie and her bear “Tibbers”. Although the developers appreciate how Annie has “aged” throughout the game (she has been in the game since February 21, 2009), they are somewhat disappointed with the current Tibbers.
Because even though he appears very dramatic in the game, his combat potential is sobering after this appearance. In the official League of Legends forum, RiotBelugaWhale has now announced the planned changes to the fire duo.
Annie’s changes in the Wizard Update in LoL
Traits of Annie that are likely to remain:
The combination of Flash + Tibbers. Annie’s typical skill combo is so important for her that the developers want to keep it in the game. Even if they like to incorporate abilities that can be dodged, there should still be abilities that players can practically “rely on”.
Annie’s unique learning curve. Even as a beginner, she can be handled quite well, and players quickly understand the basic principles of this hero in LoL. However, there is a lot of potential in Annie that particularly emerges with increasing player experience.
Traits that are unsatisfactory and need improvement:
The Tibbers AI and its control. After summoning Tibbers, he is practically only known as “the cuddliest sunfire cape in League of Legends”. While there is much power in Tibbers, he is often only used to tank towers or run “mindlessly” towards enemies.
Hidden power and not obvious danger. The constant focus on Annie’s buffs should not be the only way to find out when her next spell stuns her targets.
The melted shield (E) as a filler. This ability is currently often only used to grant a stack for Pyromania (passive).
Tibbers is supposed to benefit from Annie’s abilities
After the changes in the Wizard Update of LoL, Annie should have the following traits:
Annie players should feel more connected to Tibbers once he is summoned. This means that her direct abilities can be directly shifted to her bear Tibbers.
It should be more obvious for players playing against Annie when she is particularly dangerous and when she does not pose a high threat.
The melted shield (E) should be significantly more important and provide more defense – especially for a wizard who needs to be close to the fight to throw a bear into the brawl.
With this update, the old question should finally be answered: Yes Annie, we have seen your bear “Tibbers”.
In The Division, the assault rifle “AK-74 Black Market Version” is one of the craftable high-end weapons in the game. We present it with a potential “God Roll”.
The YouTuber Mesa Sean introduces the community to his AK-74 Black Market Version. In his opinion, he has achieved the “God Roll” for this weapon. We present the high-end assault rifle.
How do I get the AK-74 Black Market Version?
Mesa Sean advises agents not to rely on high-end drops in The Division. Instead, he recommends crafting the high-ends yourself. To do this, you only need to acquire the blueprint for the corresponding weapon once.
Afterward, you can craft it as long as it takes to achieve the desired roll. It only costs crafting materials (for the AK-74 Black Market Version: 5 weapon parts and 3 tools). You can read here how crafting in The Division works.
A blueprint for the AK-74 Black Market Version can be found in the Operations Base at the Special Equipment Vendor. You can find him in the Tech Wing next to the Upgrade Station. This blueprint costs you 179 Phoenix Credits. In this article, we discuss how you can quickly gather Phoenix Credits in The Division.
This is the “God Roll” of the AK-74 Black Market Version
All three talents of this AK-74 are random when you craft this weapon. Also, keep in mind that the base damage varies within a certain range. You should not lose sight of this.
The following talents are on Mesa Sean’s gun:
Balanced: The weapon reaches maximum precision faster when shouldered.
Deadly: The damage of critical hits is increased by 26%.
Capable: Applying a skill improves your weapon’s handling for 13 seconds.
Note: Make sure that the stats of your firearms, stamina, and electronics are sufficient to activate all talents. Otherwise, they will not work.
The YouTuber believes that these talents make the weapon very balanced and have almost no recoil.
He then upgraded this weapon with mods that significantly boost his SPS value. You can see these mods in the video starting at 6:21:

Mesa Sean advises all agents to purchase the blueprint for the AK-74 Black Market Version. After that, you just need to invest time and effort into crafting and equip the weapon with high-end mods to get more out of it.
The AK-74 Black Market Version is popular in the community
Also in forums and social networks, agents recommend this weapon. Its major advantage is – unlike named weapons – that this weapon can be crafted as long as it takes to achieve the desired talents.
Thus, the AK-74 Black Market Version is for the PS4 user Ultra-AC91 a “damn strong weapon at close and medium range“, as it quickly eats through enemy health bars and is also useful against distant enemies thanks to its high stability. With the right mods, he further enhanced the stability and horizontal stability. His conclusion: “It performs well, this thing.” It’s an “absolute monster.”
What is your experience with the AK-74 Black Market Version? Do you recommend another “God Roll”?
The upcoming hero from Heroes of the Storm Dehaka is introduced in the video. Check it out here!
Dehaka – a Primal Zerg on a Hunt
With the next patch, the hero roster of Blizzard’s MOBA “Heroes of the Storm” is getting a fresh addition. This time, a character from StarCraft 2 joins the fray in the Nexus, as the Primal Zerg Dehaka enters the battlefield. The voracious creature, for whom change and evolution are the most important aspects of life, was a key character during the “Heart of the Swarm” campaign and assisted Kerrigan in her crusade against Emperor Mengsk. Now the Primal Zerg, who will be a warrior in HotS, has received his own “Spotlight” video highlighting his features.

The passive ability Essence Collection allows Dehaka to collect essence from slain minions and heroes. At the press of a button, this essence is consumed to restore a portion of his HP.
With Burrow, Dehaka can burrow into the ground for a short time and become immune to damage. He is in a “Stasis” state and is thus immune to all control effects – but cannot attack.
The Dark Swarm creates a deadly aura around Dehaka that deals damage to all enemies in close proximity. At the same time, Dehaka is immune to enemy collision checks and can simply “walk through them”.
With Pull, Dehaka extends his tongue and can momentarily “pull” enemies to a new position.
The first heroic ability Isolation inflicts a hero with various negative effects. They are slowed, silenced, their vision radius is dramatically reduced, and they can no longer see their allied teammates.
The second heroic ability Adaptation restores a large portion of damage taken after 5 seconds, making it a powerful self-heal.
It is also important that Dehaka does not have a mount. Instead, he can burrow to any bush or vent on the map every 40 seconds using Jungle Prowler, regardless of its location.
Sophie Monk regularly appears on the list of the most beautiful Australian women, in Australian television shows and commercials for The Elder Scrolls Online. They seem to believe that the beauty born in England will also appeal to those who have nothing to do with “MMORPG”.
In the style of a travel report, Monk, with her kleptomaniac companion, presents Ahab’s Landing, the latest location of ESO that was introduced with the DLC “Thieves Guild” – since last week, console players on Playstation 4 and Xbox One can also go there. Besides the beautiful scenery, the focus of the DLC and the trailer is primarily on stealing and its consequences.
The military MMO Armored Warfare has received two new PvE maps and a variety of changes.
Last week, update 0.14 for Armored Warfare was released. With Operation: Albatross and Operation: Cerberus, two additional PvE maps were added. In Albatross, you must capture a remote airfield and hold off attacking tanks. In Cerberus, you need to secure an ammunition train to prevent it from falling into enemy hands.

Other features in the patch include the PvP map Highwall and a new replay function. Additionally, My.com and Obsidian have made changes to the game mechanics, especially those for Tier 6+ tanks. The penetration power of light tanks and tank destroyers has been increased, and significant adjustments have been made to the angle values.

Guild Wars 2 halts the development of new legendary weapons. We have the details.
Living World in exchange for legendary weapons
When Heart of Thorns, the first expansion for Guild Wars 2, was announced, legendary weapons were touted as a major feature of the game. The first set of legendary weapons was delivered, with more expected to follow in upcoming content patches, providing even more options. These plans have now come to a sudden end.
In the official forum of the game, Game Director Mike O’Brien announced that the development of new legendary weapons has been put on indefinite hold. Previously, 6 developers were fully dedicated to creating new weapons; they are now being reassigned to other tasks. It is even mentioned specifically: all developers will now focus on creating new content for the upcoming season of the “Living World,” which Guild Wars 2 will expand with new stories at regular intervals.
In O’Brien’s official statement, he writes:
“As Game Director, I sometimes have to make tough decisions. One thing I believe is that we must focus on the core experience of the game before taking on additional responsibilities. In 2010, I wrote in the ‘Guild Wars 2 Design Manifesto’ that we aim to create a lively and dynamic world where there is always something to do. Let’s ensure that we succeed in that.”
In the forum, player opinions are divided. Some praise that O’Brien has the courage to make difficult decisions, even if he steps on someone’s toes in the process. Other players feel disappointed since Guild Wars 2 had previously advertised the upcoming legendary weapons.

In Albion Online, the major patch “Cador” was launched, bringing numerous new contents. And now death occurs in a completely different way.
The Heretics have been expanded
In the MMORPG Albion Online, significant upgrades were made on March 23rd, as the “Cador” update has been applied. A great deal of work has gone into expanding the faction “Heretics”, making them much more immersive and offering much more content. There are some new dungeons, completely new mobs (and corresponding bosses), which, of course, come with attractive rewards.
Moreover, more than 25 new abilities are waiting for the characters along with a multitude of balancing changes, which you can find in detail in our sources.
A new way to die
Fundamentally, the death of a character is also changing. Once the health points fall to 0, the hero is in a wounded state and slowly regenerates health points until they can ultimately get back up. However, most mobs and also other players will not allow this: While friends have the opportunity to help the character up, monsters and enemy players can channel a finishing blow that permanently sends the character across the river. This can be interrupted by damage taken, a system similar to what is known from Guild Wars 2. Many fans are concerned that this mechanic will negatively affect PvP. The developers comment on this:
“Killing a player character will have a significant impact on the upcoming reputation system – we want the execution of a character to be a very conscious decision. Moreover, we believe that the new system brings more tactical depth and excitement to PvP battles.”
The sandbox MMORPG Albion Online is currently still in beta but is expected to be released in the third quarter of this year.

The Korean MMORPG Bless Online is getting a new RvR mode in Korea. Bless is considered one of the last major AAA projects in the MMORPG genre
As reported by 2p, it is scheduled for today that the Korean MMORPG Bless Online will receive a new PvP mode, or rather a “Realm vs. Realm” mode, as the factions in Bless are divided into two large realms.
In the new mode “Battle for the Capital”, players will compete against each other to achieve certain objectives that secure victory for their faction. The attacking faction must destroy buildings. The defending faction must protect them.
Fishing in World of Warcraft will be easier. How is that possible? Find out here.
More space for timely clicking
No matter how you look at it, fishing is not exactly one of the most nerve-wracking activities you can experience in World of Warcraft. You cast the fishing rod, watch the little bobber for a maximum of 20 seconds, and click at the right moment. That doesn’t sound particularly difficult – or does it? The bobber is rather small, and since you only have a short window of time to click, it can indeed happen that you “miss” and let the big catch slip away.
In Legion, as reported by mmochampion, various fishing vendors around the world will sell an “Oversized Bobber,” a huge bobber that significantly enlarges the corresponding area for 10 minutes.

While one half of the players may roll their eyes and cynically mutter “Typical casualization, now people are too dumb to click,” the rest of the player base is happy. Many people in World of Warcraft fish only “on the side” while they are actually doing other things (watching a series, crafting transmog sets, writing these news).
There are still some concerns, as players often compete for valuable fish in “heavily populated” fishing areas. Those who have a large bobber can easily block the view (and thus the possibility of clicking on their own piece). This would be particularly annoying during the weekly fishing tournament in Stranglethorn Vale. The “Oversized Bobber” will likely soon become standard equipment for every fisherman.
In the Free2Play MMORPG Echo of Soul a major expansion has been launched. New continent, new dungeons, new level cap.
Fresh continent, new level cap in Echo of Soul with “Wrath of the Goddess”
Fans of the free MMORPG Echo of Soul have plenty to do again, as the most extensive expansion yet, “Wrath of the Goddess”, has been released.
The centerpiece of the new content is the large continent Kharath, featuring more than 400 quests to complete. The size of the new areas is approximately 2/3 that of the original game. To make the completion of the missions worthwhile, the existing level cap of Echo of Soul has been raised to 70.
As is common with expansions of this scale, new challenges – such as the numerous dungeons – also come with new rewards in the form of gear and new, devastating abilities.

However, with the launch of the new expansion, there were also some resets, such as all secondary currencies reset to 0, best times for dungeons reset, and arena teams will be automatically dissolved after the final evaluation.
In The Division, agents have found a new farming spot for purple items and Phoenix Credits. This time it is not about Bullet King, but Hutch.
After Ubisoft Massive recently blocked the loot exploit about Bullet King, a new farming spot has emerged that is spreading rapidly via social media.
In the first mission “Madison Field Hospital”, there is a bug with the boss enemy Hutch under certain circumstances that allows players to quickly and easily obtain superior items and Phoenix Credits. Many agents are now taking advantage of this.
This is the loot exploit regarding Hutch
Even though we do not recommend exploiting this bug in any way, we do not want to withhold this information from you. This farming spot is currently spreading like wildfire on the internet.
You only need to start the mission “Madison Field Hospital” on the Hard difficulty and fight your way to the final battle. On the roof, the named enemy Hutch awaits along with his friends. However, you leave them be, rush to the boss, and kill him before he can jump down from his pedestal.
This is supposedly the crucial factor: If Hutch jumps down, you must restart the mission as it will not work otherwise. Apparently, he jumps down if you defeat all enemies or get too close to the orange waypoint.
If you manage to kill Hutch before he jumps down, his “shadow,” a replica of him, will spawn after a short time. This enemy, which you must now defeat, remains nameless. Once you have dealt with this Hutch copy, you will receive some credits and superior items. Let yourself be killed afterward and start the process anew. This way, you can obtain Phoenix Credits and purple items in a short time.
The following video shows this loot exploit with moving images:

It remains to be seen when and how Ubisoft Massive will respond to this problem. One can probably expect no reaction over the extended Easter weekend. Apparently, Bullet King has already found an early successor.
The MMORPG Revival is in crisis. Development has been halted.
As a tough, different kind of game, the indie title Revival from the studio Illfonic has earned a reputation as an MMORPG to watch. This reputation is now taking a hit. It was announced that work on the client has been stopped and that there will be no selling of houses in the game.
This does not necessarily mean that the game is dead; work on the title is still being done free of charge. Additionally, backers still have access to everything they currently possess. However, the future of the title is, to put it gently, unclear and at risk.
The statement regarding the reasons for the temporary halt makes it clear that there is no desire or ability to discuss the exact details. It seems that people have left the project who cannot be replaced. The studio appears to have run out of money and resources.
When work on Revival began, they had access to certain resources and know-how, according to a statement. Not anymore. To compensate for these resources, they need to spend money. This is very expensive. It concerns things like animators or networking expertise.
Revival is still a labor of love, and they will not give up on it. However, they must now find another way to make it a reality. Future patches are unlikely, the future is unclear, but the will remains unbroken.
Mein MMO says: Yes, it’s the case with some current indie titles that they sound fantastic, have huge ambitions, and great ideas, but as an observer, one is already skeptical: How on earth are they going to finance this? Isn’t it too good to be true?
With Revival, it seems the skeptics are right. An MMORPG is an expensive undertaking. Without financially strong publishers behind them, even the greatest will might not necessarily reach the target. One can only hope for the developers and fans that things still somehow come to a good end.

In Destiny, the legendary auto rifle Doctrine of Passing is very popular among Guardians. What can the weapon do in PvE and PvP?
In Destiny, the Doctrine of Passing, especially its Adept version, is one of the most sought-after weapons in the game. We present how you can obtain this weapon and what it can do in PvE and PvP.
How do I get the Doctrine of Passing?
The legendary auto rifle can only be obtained through the Trials of Osiris, the weekly PvP event in Destiny.
The “normal” Doctrine of Death can be won as a reward of an Osiris match.
The weapon is occasionally offered as a prize for 7 victories in the Trials of Osiris – it is expected to happen next on April 22.
The auto rifle can also be obtained after completing Osiris loot runs (Gold Tier).
The Adept version can only be obtained by going “flawless”. This special auto rifle can be found in the chest on the Lighthouse with some luck.
What makes the Doctrine of Passing special in Destiny?
The Doctrine of Passing is a legendary auto rifle with kinetic damage. It is particularly notable for its high rate of fire. However, its impact, range, and stability leave much to be desired. Below are the specific stats:
The Doctrine of Passing has various perks. One perk is randomly selected:
Persistence: This weapon becomes more precise the longer it is fired.
You can choose between Reinforced Frame (increased stability, decreased magazine size), Extended Mag, and Smallbore (increased range and stability, slower reload speed, decreased magazine size).
Additionally, you can influence the optics, handling, recoil control, and range of the weapon with three different scopes.
The random perk is selected from the following four perks:
Reflex: Aiming with this weapon increases the range of effectiveness.
Hidden Hand: This weapon improves target acquisition.
Balance Mod: The stability of this weapon is significantly increased.
Rodeo: Reduces the harshness of this weapon’s recoil.
The Adept version has an additional perk:
Last Resort: The handling of this weapon and reloading are faster when the bearer is the last living player of their fireteam.
It is generally advisable to focus on perks (and hope) that increase stability, as this rapid-fire auto rifle can otherwise be difficult to control.
What can the weapon do in PvE and PvP?
According to Nexxoss Gaming, the high rate of fire of the Doctrine of Passing makes the weapon unattractive for distance. It is better suited for close combat.
In PvE, it is “tedious” against distant targets due to the enormous rate of fire, as it deviates significantly when shooting. However, at close range, it is quite effective, as it pumps enemies full of bullets. Nexxoss recommends combining it with a sniper rifle to cover all distances.
Even with the perks available to significantly increase stability, it is still difficult to control the rapid-fire auto rifle and land precise hits.
A look at the Trials Report of Destiny reveals that the Doctrine of Passing is among the top weapons of the PvP event. Nexxoss recommends the selectable perk Reinforced Frame to increase stability in PvP. Even if the magazine size suffers, 54 shots should be enough to eliminate the enemy. Otherwise, the weapon should not hide when it comes to reload speed.
Even with increased stability, the auto rifle should mainly be used at close range in PvP, as handling remains challenging. However, there are many Guardians who excel with this weapon. Especially in 1vs1, having this weapon in hand usually leads to victory.
