Bad juju (and other pulse rifles?) in desperate need of buffing!

I got bad juju from exotic bounty (toland's legacy, takes many hours) and i have been trying to use it for a while. It's terrible. It looks badass, but that's it. I've heard that other pulse rifles are bad too. Bad juju seems to have kind of low damage but the biggest problem is the magazine size: 15 (that's 5 bursts). The unique ability is cool (I haven't gotten it yet) but the thing is that you need to be shooting to very low-health enemies for it to work because the 5 bursts you have aren't getting you a kill on anything more than a vandal or a goblin. I understand the low magazine size to avoid this weapon being OP, but at the moment it has a very long way to that. The other exotics seem to be about as good as the other weapons without the special perk and then the upgrade makes them the best weapons of the game. The bad juju however seems to be worse than a common pulse rifle due to the mag size and the special upgrade makes it a special weapon for masses of low-health enemies, about as good as a normal uncommon pulse rifle. Combine that with the overall lack of power in the pulse rifle category and you have the worst exotic in the game. The only use I can think for it would be farming, but I don't want to support that kind of activity. I also tried it on PVP and it was even more terrible. To kill other player in a 1vs1 situation you need A. hit pretty much all of your bullets and due to all the double jumping and blinking and other stuff going on that's usually nearly impossible B. have the enemy to not hit his bullets because you would die first if both of you hit all shots. I only won a couple of my gunfights and managed to do few surprise and team attacks but compared to my average auto rifle i was doing very bad job with the juju. And what comes to pulse rifles in general, I can't remember a single time i would have been killed by them apart from the rare cases of the stranger's rifle (because everyone gets it). What i do remember is getting killed by fusion rifles, shotguns, auto rifles, supers and in one game i was getting totally dominated by a guy with a suros regime. What I suggest to be done is to increase the magazine size of the bad juju to 24 or 27, maybe even 30 and a overall buff to all pulse rifles. I would love to use the bad juju again because it looks awesome, but at the moment I just simply can't. Hoping for a quick fix: olento99

  • The update is here, but bad juju isn't in it! They are nerfing and buffing all they said they would, except bad juju. I have mine shelved, since it's not viable to use. Pity because it looks boss.
