Lookin' at guns: Lyudmila-D

Discussion

How do I post on this sub again? [Discussion] < last time I made a post, this was still a thing. Anywho.

So, I got this neat little Lyudmila-D pulse rifle with the following perks: Headseeker, Counterbalance, Hand-laid Stock

It is capable of tight groupings at a decent range, provided you have the thumbskill to compensate for it's bursts of recoil. I am... Pretty meh at it, to be honest.

With that said, most people wanna know: Can it two burst? Yes. Yes it can.

Here is a video of recoil patterns and bullet groupings.

I'm pretty bad at managing recoil with this gun though, but I suppose it's a decent baseline example.

Here is some crucible footage.

Shooting at guardians is easier than shooting at a wall, apparently.

I'm unsure of how much armour the Titan in the second segment was running, but it was a two burst. Neat!

One thing to note, compensating for recoil with aim assistance is much easier than just shooting at the wall, so taking it into the crucible will actually provide a better shooting experience.

To that end, I feel like if it could roll with Braced Frame instead of Hand-laid Stock, it may be even better. Or rather, instead of taking a hit to range, it may be better to take a hit to magazine size. The more frequent reloads could be counteracted with pulse rifle reload gauntlets, and the added range and aim assist will help you reach out a touch further while maintaining tight groupings. That's just theory-crafting though.

ANYWAYS, TL;DR

Lyudmila-D provides a consistent two-burst experience when you put forth the skill to use it, and I think only the highest armour can stump it.
