If this is one of Eris's teams weapons you can see why they didn't make it! Got this from a raid chest and my mate go it from the nightfall, wow, I'm a hand cannon/sniper user so feel totally at home with iron sights and zoom but wow, seriously, I cannot fathom how bad this is sorry bungie... I will however give some useful feedback and how to improve it mixed with a rant. 1. Useless Perks a ) Ballistics, why does this even matter on a bolt action with a 3 second unskippable animation? b) Mulligan, missing a shot returns to mag on a 5 mag sniper? Seriously, this is a perk when the reload is just as fast as the bolt animation? c) Lightweight - Lightweight?? Lightweight??? On a sniper rifle where you move slowly around cover, holy crap. d) Snapshot - Okay *slow clap* you did one thing right here, that would be useful if the gun was good. e) The Master "Increased precision damage. Kills briefly increase damage against next target." - Well, yeah on a sniper that is not a OHK to the body, and still not a OHK... PvP is a OHK to the head and too slow if you don't hit the head so... Then theres the lens flare from iron sights.... erm what? The clunky sights, this is a collectors item, not a weapon to use in your exotic slot, let alone the primary too. I have no use for this other than aiming practice. I can give you some ideas that would improve it but still, wow its bad... 1. If it has to be this slow, make it hit like a truck and stagger enemies (even with angry on) 2. OHK to the body in PvP would make people try using it more. 3. No Lens flare/fit a proper scope 4. Perks like: Primary Mod = a) Outlaw - Extremely fast chambering/reload after precision kill. Stat Mods = a) Custom Optics - Glass Eye/No giveaway (Actual scope or no lens flare with iron sights) or b) High Caliber Rounds - Boosts flinch effect of shots Exotic Mod = No Life Beyond - Body shots that don't kill stun/blind enemies (for the same amount of time as the bolt animation giving you a chance at a headshot) Edit: I'm guessing the gun was modelled on this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauser_1918_T-Gewehr So maybe if it one shotted Fallen walkers in public events it would be way more fun haha!
