Dear Bungie team. Please consider tweaking The Last Word for PvP a bit. At its current state, it is a bit too powerful.

As a proud owner of the gun, I absolutely love it. However, I have to admit that it is a bit too strong when compared to all the other primaries in PvP. It is very accurate for a full auto hand cannon. Up to mid range you essentially do not even have to aim this gun for a guaranteed 3 shot kill to the body. If you zoom in it becomes a four shot kill to the body assuming you do not get a headshot. Compare that to the suros which requires about 6 headshots to kill. Not sure, but it feels like the last word also has a faster fire rate than the suros. TLW pretty much outclassed the suros at any range in a 1v1 situation and yet you said yourself that the suros is still a bit too strong post nerf. Also the gun glitches sometimes. On many occasions headshots while zoomed in will grant you a hip fire bonus of 111 per shot and it happens quite often. There are also times when the fan fire stops shooting even if you have the trigger down all the way. The reason no one has brought up this issue is because it is not available to the masses. I dread the day when it goes on sale with xur because using any other gun in pvp will be futile if you are trying to stay competitive. You currently have a great balance with other weapons (in exception of a few exotics) and I would like to keep it that way. Some suggestions for an alteration: 1 reduce the rate of fire. 2 Remove the third barrel option which gives the gun more impact which in turn makes it a 1 less body shot to kill in most situations. 3. Fix the hip fire bonus while zoomed in glitch. Please fix this as part of your big update if you have the time, also do not go too crazy. Suggestion number 2 and 3 alone would be great enough of a change without ruining the gun. I hope someone at the developement department reads this and considers it before it becomes available to every one. If that happens you will have to nerf it eventually anyways once everyone exploits it. I guarantee it. If you are still reading, then thank you. Best regards, A very happy TLW owner.
