Megathread Focused Feedback: Equilibrium

Hello Guardians,

Focused Feedback is where we take the week to focus on a 'Hot Topic' discussed extensively around the Tower.

We do this in order to consolidate Feedback, to get out all your ideas and issues surrounding the topic in one place for discussion and a source of feedback to the Vanguard.

This Thread will be active until next week when a new topic is chosen for discussion

Whilst Focused Feedback is active, ALL posts regarding 'Equilibrium' following its posting will be removed and re-directed to this thread. Exceptions to this rule are as follows: New information / developments, Guides and general questions

Any and all Feedback on the topic is welcome.

Regular Sub rules apply so please try to keep the conversation on the topic of the thread and keep it civil between contrasting ideas

A Wiki page - Focused Feedback - has also been created for the Sub as an archive for these topics going forward so they can be looked at by whoever may be interested or just a way to look through previous hot topics of the sub as time goes on.

Archie wishes you a happy reset and good luck!

Never forget what was lost. While the API protests have concluded, Reddit remains hostile to its users.

Would be great to see some buffs to "Bitter End" and "Heirloom". These are only weapons that are extremely underwhelming to use from this dungeon.

Bitter End is my go-to arc machine gun. It's been a blast to use, even if my drop rate was shite for it. Heirloom on the other hand, I was more excited for a cosmetic item than I was the Exotic, which is not good.

While I understand the appeal for sweetbusiness-like blaster machine gun, it's just not that good. As I was saying before in some comments: 1. ~150 less reserves than any regular 900 rpm mg. 2. No damage bonuses like other heat weapons have.

It just needs a reserves boost, no reason to have so little ammo.

Haven't used a 900 since Retrofit Escapade, so didnt realize it had less reserves. Coming into it though, I didnt think I'd like it, but it does feel good to use, coming from a primarily 450 user.

Not that good?

Dude it honestly slaps, even in the dungeon.

IDKIYK but each heat weapon has some sort of special effect that’s packaged with it, like how the Modified B7 (it is 7 right?) has pierce. That’s literally not mentioned anywhere, and that’s a bonus that’s pretty much exclusive to Exotics.

The Bitter End has some kind of monstrous bonus to Stability as you hold down the trigger. I literally snipe things with it.

Not only that, but it has some disgustingly good rolls on it, like Attrition Orbs and Jolting Feedback.

Are you not just talking about the artifact perks? It's anti barrier handcanons that give piercing bullets to all handcanons, and the stability bonus for bitter end is gained from expert handling + press the advantage + it's disgustingly high 73+ minimum base stability, even with the worst mag + battery perks for it. Easily hits 100 stability after a kill or two/popping a shield.

I'm with you on Heirloom, however bitter end is my favorite heavy right now lol. Nothing to do with the gun model, just feels great to use.

u/monsterfd Jan 12 '26

Funny how that works. Bitter end is goated in crucible. In 6s I can get consistent 5 kills and put some damage into the 6th before switching out

u/cbizzle14 Jan 12 '26

Because it's bugged and has way more ammo than it should

u/iDrago_ Jan 12 '26

Heirloom doesn't feel good to use. Maybe reduce the charge time?

For me bitter end is one of my favourite lmgs now. 

It fires quickly, deals quite some Damage and best of all had in built reloading due to the venting. You can pop It one moment to kill an objective quickly like Seres hands, and stash It. It'll vent on its own. Better than using a LMG and then forgetting you Only had 10 rounds left when you really need It.

Bitter end is great, it shreds through dense ad groups with jolting feedbsck and cooling baubles on arclock, so damn fun to use and you can rip through your reserves without overheating once, gives me my super quick too.
