Thoughts on Tommy’s Matchbook

Ok let’s get this out of the way, I AM TALKING STRICTLY ABOUT PVP (In PvE it’s actually pretty fire)

So Tommy’s Matchbook. The mobster fantasy in the hit game destiny 2. But oh Bungie you made it so well but so ass. Firstly this is not a complaint about the self damage, I actually think it’s the balanced part of this weapon. You take damage for more outgoing damage. But to spend 20 bullets (1/5 of the mag) to activate Ignition Trigger makes it kinda ass to use. The gun cannot compete without ignition trigger either. You have to start prefiring to get ignition trigger active, but now you have no shields and the enemy now only needs to hit 2 headshots instead of 3. Maybe if your enemy is an actual lobotomite and you hit all headshots it’ll kill, but rn it’s not. Another massive problem with this gun is the incredibly stupid coding that they did. Ever since I got the gun when it came out it has had this problem of not going damage. If you’ve used it in PvP you’ve probably noticed but if you start firing from the hip and aim down sights, even though you’re headshotting it will do 0 damage. And the way to fix this is to keep shooting. This also happens if you shoot from ads to hip.

With these 2 major problems it keeps the weapon from preforming at its best. It gets out ranged by meta HCs, weapons in the same 720 category like chroma rush out ttk it, and it’s also frustrating to use.

But maybe my opinion is irrelevant because I’m some bum or maybe it is relevant. I’d like to know yalls thoughts especially in PvP.
