So I was doing the new raid. And lucky me an exotic was waiting for me in the first chest.
Blinded by surprise. Happiness overwhelmed me.
Its looks are extraordinary elegant and while peeking at the stats I was still overjoyed. Even when I fired its first shot the high hopes didn't disappear.
But then something horrendous happened before the second shot. With disbelieve thinking I exactly pressed reload. I shot again. What occurred blazed my dreams of using this artful Golden Age relic. This rifle is BOLT -blam!-ing ACTION.
This isn't the end of the world. I thought. If the impact is high it wont matter. IT ISN'T
Okay but when its upgraded the perks will be good...
Alright first it has no damage type. No problem I will use it in PvP.
Furthermore its a primary. This could be good in PvP I guess....
Than there's mulligan. Damn with bolt action the reload speed wont matter much.
Lightweight, Snapshot and Flared Magwell. This is getting better. All useful in PvP.
And finally The Master. Increased precision damage, nice......OH NO head-shots are one-shot kills T_T
Crying from the downhill slide of emotions I'm typing this. So that the world knows not too expect much from this piece of shit sniper.
Long story short:
I think it sucks.
What do you guys think of this new sniper?
Good to hear that i'm not the only one who hates it ;p

http://youtu.be/Ylp583mJa2Q Enjoy ;)

I used it on the nightfall and it was excellent.
-
I this its pretty awesome! It's a beast in pvp and I even made a montage of it! Take a look!
-
I took a good look at it and disassembled it. I couldn't fathom how a 6 round clip would be good in PvE and I have other exotics I'd rather equip.
-
You described my exact moment as well when I did the same thing last week.
-
I love it!
-
Now imagine this if you will: A man, fairly normal guy like everyone else, gets Destiny a few days after it comes out. He plays a lot. Maybe not enough to be considered more than "a casual" but , still, a lot. He grinds through at a decent pace. Does the Nightfall every week. Does the Raid a few times. During all this he never gets an Exotic engram. Never gets awarded an Exotic in PvE. Never gets awarded one in PvP. THEN, finally this guy who has stuck it out and made due by getting Exotics from Xur, THEN this guy decrypts an Exotic from a Legendary Engram. The Exotic was No Land Beyond and that guy was me.

It's amazing, I've gotten much more headshots with that sniper than any other gun in the game consecutively, out of 5 hours of having it, I accumulated 62% Precision Kills with it in crucible. It's really good, you just might be bad.
-
I just wonder if there is a cap on the dmg boost. It's supposed to do extra damage with each head shot kill? chain like 5 or six normal enemys and then pop a major in the head, let's see if it one shot's them!
-
I love the gun. So much fun to use.
-
Mine is maxed and in iron banner a body shot will take full shields and about half health bar and head shit is a one shot kill , if you're a good shot you can do work with it lol oh and you can quick scope with it lol head shots for dayz

Edited by JRM99: 12/18/2014 1:23:10 PMI got it and it's pretty fun, my only problem is the ammo reserve. I haven't upgraded it fully but I plan on doing so
-
No scope glare I want it for pvp plus it's supposed to get a buff
-
Picked one up yesterday, it went to my hunter that uses bad juju. I use it when I get to bosses where juju starts to show its weekness. It is what it is, and I enjoy having it.
-
Campers paradise though if you dont have icebreaker you can twin it with patience and time
-
I don't have it. But PVPwise if you still need 2 bodyshots to kill someone , then I rather gonna use my Praedyth's Revenge.
-
I got 4th horseman looked at the stats wasn't all to impressed then try ed it in rumble and oh my gawd it is an invective killer
-
Edited by tombok90: 12/18/2014 7:01:02 AMuh for pvp thats basically a one shot kill scout rifle. its not useless plus no glare
-
It's absolute bullshit. Even common snipers are better.
-
I have two. One from NF and one killing Crota.
-
All they have to do is make the gun more powerful, fix the sights, and increase the reload speed.
-
Less obtrusive sights and a faster bolt action would make it exotic tier.
-
It is cool and that's about it.
-
I won't mind pairing it with my Black Hammer.
-
I'm confused. Your complaining that head shots are one shot kills? Who complains about that?
-
This gun is so bad. The loading time between shots is so bad it make follow up shots in PvP impossible. The ammo load out is way too small for PvE. I'm sure this gun is deadly in the right hands, but those hands are not mine. I'll keep it just in case they buff it somehow.
