The value I’ve found with Symmetry is that it’s a stall breaker, like Hawkmoon or Revision Zero. Unlike those two though it’s super proactive and easier to use. The seekers make players think twice about rushing you down even before you hit 7 stacks, and it can wipe a Trials team on its own once ramped.

I remember when there were roles in Gambit, Symmetry was my wildcard for finishing Sentry and Invader triumphs due to it’s efficiency against guardians for no ammo cost. Invading with x20 sounded questionable until opponents just started falling dead from slow deadly arc charges. It really earned my respect then, and I brought it to action in Gambit in following years from time to time.

Great video. Personally I never clicked with Symmetry, because of its range of effectiveness. When I use a scout I want to be far enough that pulses and 120 hand cannons are not really a threat. But as you say, this gun struggles being too far out. Especially because of the long travel time of the seekers. Its low reload + handling don't help.

With an incoming eddy current addition, i bet getaway artist would pair exceedingly prilliantly with this. Otherwise, any easy amplified sources. Still, the pvp performance of dynamic charge could be buffed in the higher values. No one-taps, but increasing damage ti hit supers harder and leave enemies with easier cleanup doesnt feel like a bad tradeoff for holding on to up to 20 stacks. (Btw without catalyst is 15 max) And kick me if im wrong, but would it be nice if kills (or prec kills) gave 1 extra dynamic charge?

I must say, Symmetry has grown on me over the past few weeks, and I've found myself using it quite a bit! The upcoming buff should be interesting.

@@IronworkerGaming ultimately im a sucker for status effects, so i feel like id have liked if the weapon had something a bit more thrown in.

This is one of favorite guns that hardly use. The catalyst imo is a RIP-OFF. Going from 15- 20 stacks doesnt nothing in pvp and barely makes it strong in pvp. 20 stack should be changed to base stacks AND id like to arc 3.0 verbs on this gun. My idea is from stack 0-4 you get nothing, 5-10 you get jolt and 10-20 you get blind and BLIND. 2 things this would do incentives you going for stack pass 7 more and allow for stunning overload with jolt and unstoppable with blind. Lastly it would give more damafe due to jolt damage. Also 0-5 limitation is their to keep it from being an annoying menace in pvp. This is a gun i really love and i really hope bungie gives it some love going into final shape.
