This post is about the upcoming buff to exotics. Basically what i'd like to know, most exotics going to get renewed or only those that were in the picture on the weekly update ?
I fear that with the update only the bad exotics will get updated, such as thorn and super bad advice. Unfortunately i feel nearly all exotics need a buff, not only those that are considered plain bad. Some exotics are rarely mentionee because they are not awfull, but truthfully no one would use them in a demanding situation such as the vault of glass. For example, monte carlo; the weapon looks absolutely stunning, but its just a "meh-weapon". It's not particularly fun to use and it's not particularly good to use either, i'd much rather use a vog legendary such as voc or fatebringer, hell, i'd pick shado price over it any day. Actually the same goes for the last word. It's amazing in pvp i'll admit that, but for pve it's kinda lackluster. Patience and time is the same. I mean it's a solid weapon, but why would i use my single exotic slot on it ? Ice breaker is better, and epitaph is pretty much on par. Why would i use truth ? Its a good rocket launcher but why would i give up my rxotic slot for it ? Theres really no incentive to use it. In my opinion, there are only 3 weapons that do not need to be buffed, being suros regime, ice breaker and gjallahorn.
When I think of exotics i'd like to feel as if the problem is which one to choose because they are all just as amazing. At the moment though, i'm just choosing based on what weapon is the least bad.
To get back to monte carlo, theres so much awesome things that could be done with it, for example instead of knifing you stab them with the weapon and you get like double knifing damage, that would at least makenit fun to use
Anyway, enough rambling, what are your thoughts on the matter ?

I agree completely. Especially on Monte Carlo. I think not many people realize how bad it is because it is so rare (PS4 exclusive random drop). I wasted energy upgrading it as it was my first exotic. Wow am I sad. So many purples and even some blues are much better in both pve and pvp. The perks are worthless, it is not accurate, and some of the perks make it have so much recoil it is unusable. Please add this to the list for a complete re work.

usable Bayonets would make this game a lot more fun!

Yes thank you. All exotics need fixed pretty much I have the vex mythoclast,bad juju,Monte Carlo,thunderlord,and Suros regime. I feel like most of them needs fixed specially the vex mythoclast because it doesn't feel like the best gun the buff made it not on my top charts of getting same with my friends, and bad juju only contains 15 BULLETS I went through so much on that bounty to have a gun I won't use. Bungi fix the vex and bad juju back

I would want A Monte Carlo if you could actually use the Bayonet.. wasted opportunity..
-
Hawk moon doesnt need a buff as well. Agree tho, Monte Carlo and Hardlight need buffed
-
Just got one. I used my no upgrade Shadow Price instead. Just a sad weapon.

I love the way monte carlo looks and sounds but a shingen c id better in pvp same fire rate more damage and more stability
