297285, as long as it's not Iron Banner, level doesn't mean anything

Damage in the crucible is determined solely by the Impact stat. However big the Impact bar is, that's the damage the gun does in the Crucible. Now, certain weapon types are unbalanced and dominate at the moment. A very high % of players have rolled shotguns that have game-breaking range, and thus shotgun kills outpace all but a few primary weapons in Crucible. Last Word and Thorn are obscenely broken and used at all times by like a quarter of all players, hops up to 40-50% in Iron Banner. If you're using an auto rifle, good luck. The gun class is just busted in the Crucible. The good news is Sept. 8th they're. FINALLY tweaking it so hopefully some balance returns.

Now for Iron Banner -- that's the one Crucible mode where level counts. You can't really compete there if you're below 33. But yeah, besides that balance is shot to shit and the Crucible is cruel if you don't know how to game it.
