The Strangers Rifle needs a buff. We all know it. When you completed the Story you thought you got this awesome weapon that you used all the time. But then when you got the Shadow Price or the Suros Regime, you put it in your vault, never to be seen again. I didn't even feel up to upgrading it fully, because it is so bad. It needs to be promoted to a legendary weapon. At the LEAST, it needs to have a base damage increase so that people that have completed the campaign can use it and feel proud of it.
-
buff? really? buy or obtain a better gun and you'll be just fine.
-
It is the best rare weapon
-
I use it online still and it does just fine for me. Two shots to knock shields down and two shots to kill. Reload and move on.
-
I agree, make it part for an exotic or legendary bounty ( like the husk of the pit) or let xur ro something with it
-
Yeah if it were maybe a lower level legendary at least that'd be nice.

I still use this gun in pvp and I'm 31. The gun is a headshot machine.
-
If it was exotic, everybody would use it. Would you like everybody running around with the same gun? Plus there'd be those people who'd be like "I fought through the campaign for this gun, I earned it! None of you scrubs who got carried through the story earned it, I'm not playing anything with you!"
-
At the very least, give the damn thing Arc damage. It shoots lighting, for Pete's sake.
-
I broke all 3 of mine down finally. Needed the vault space. So sad. Really liked that gun.
-
The Strangers Rifle should have been an exotic award for completing the game. If that was the case, it may very well have been the FIRST exotic gleaned by your Guardian. Should also be upgradable via Xur or Gunsmith throughout the DLC experience. Bungie dropped the ball on this one.

+1 Full auto pulse -- with cool graphics! Such potential and all it's good for is Cosmodrome patrols. No respect for their own story.
-
It's a gun from the FUTURE or something you guys. I don't care if it's exotic or high in damage or whatever, just make it special! Khvostov needs some love too
-
I do not agree, yes we all expect something cool after the story is finished. But the rifle itself is a introduction to end game items like exotic guns or legendary guns.
-
i thought it is pretty decent for lvl 16
-
I was actually thinking that this expansion would have given that gun more of a purpose. I held ob to it just in case, but nothing....i mean cone on its like the only gun besides exotics that actually look different and isn't just some gun that looks like every other of the same class with a reskin. I think its a shame that the gun has such a short lifespan
-
I'd like to see a Legendary upgrade for it, but the rare would also need to be purchasable from Special Orders for those that dismantled it unknowingly. Maybe make it cost a fair bit to reward those that kept it. I still have one left over from giving it to my alts so they could suddenly melt everything as soon as they hit level 16. It's a great weapon at that point of PvE, and in standard Crucible. But an upgrade? Yes please.
-
The Strangers Rifle is better than a lot of pulse rifles out there.
-
This was one of the coolest weapons. Closest thing to it is bad juju, but the sights on strangers are the best in game.
-
I deferred on the story long enough where I had an awesome Bad Seed Down before Stranger's Rifle, but I know someone who used that gun for like a month.
-
This should have been our first exotic for completing the game.

Edited by Howie: 12/18/2014 10:17:31 AMAgreed. This has been mentioned a bunch of times. The Stranger's Rifle is a great candidate for an upgrade to legendary/exotic path. It looks, sounds, feels great. That can't be said of that many guns in the game - especially primaries. Why consign it to the vault for most players?! Put the hard work to good use, Bungie! We'll all spend time upgrading it.
-
I used Strangers Rifle for so very long. It took me a long time to get a primary that was better than it. I would love to still have use of it. It was great for popping heads.

You know what doesn't need a buff. My Shadow Price baby. Killin everyone over here
