The Last Word's logical range

I"m still of the opinion TLW's range needs to be increased. It's got the range of a shotgun with out the single point damage. The upgrade for accuracy from the hip is still unpredictable, so I'm still aiming down my sights. You're at the mercy of anyone with a shot gun or a precision rifle. Close range is supposed to be a shotgun's strong point, and precisions have a strong point farther away. It would seem The Last Word's range, regardless of fire rate or accuracy bonuses, should still be only a little less than other hand cannons, maybe more in the auto rifle range, allowing you to compete with with precisions and keep away from shotguns with out indirectly nerfing those two classes. It's a fun weapon against the computer, and that's cause the computer isn't as fast paced and intelligent as human opponents.. However, The Last Word really limits the player in his versatility and can really suck the fun out of PvP. I end up having to go to my shotgun most of the time because the range is actually better and it has a perk to narrow the spread. . . . . . . that just shouldn't be the case. The Last Word is exotic, It's supposed to have advantages over other "more common" guns correct? Why am I getting more kills with my rare hand cannon, or my auto or my shotgun? With everything but the exotic gun that took so long to aquire?.

  • If you can actually aim with tlw it is an absolute beast. It has more than enough range already to outgun a shotgun and I can't tell you how many times I've outgunned assault rifles. Even suros and mythoclast can easily be outgunned with tlw. And it can still outgun a shotgun at close ranges if they miss or don't get a direct shot it's game over for them. Tlw is an overall badass and doesn't need a buff.

  • Personally I feel it needs a range nerf

    • Okay, maybe for PvE only... But if you haven't noticed, EVERY SINGLE FREAKIN MULTIPLAYER MAP IS TINY You do not need to worry about range when every key point on the entire map is close quarters. Your gun is devastatingly effective in all multiplayer modes/maps. You have a 2 hit kill, I'm not really sure what more you want from this weapon....

    • I've had little to no problem getting kills with The Last Word at short to mid range... Anything more than that and its better to be using a scout/pulse/auto rifle... Even having one more damage upgrade to go, I regularly win those close to mid range gun fights... Its all about adjusting your play style to take advantage of the stability/hip-fire perks of the weapon...

      • The only way they could truly nerf weapons or make them stronger, without really having to -blam!- with the originals and have ppl bitch about it and then have to go back...alter the numbers for both PVE and PVP, is to have PVE and PVP variants. 2 different versions of the same weapon, 1 for PVP and 1 for PVE. It would also entail them adding an actual PVP vendor (minus the Crucible or Iron Banner)...The PVP vendor would have all sorts of weapons and armor. Would also include, all Legendaries and Exotics (PVP versions only). PVP weapons and armor would be useless in PVE so obtaining them through PVP and using for PVE, would get you killed fast, rendering them useless for PVE.
