Efrideet's spear is over the top
Hello there fellow guardians,
Now im sure this topic has been coming around pretty much i just want to point it out again.
Before i start i have to say i have a 2.1K/D in crucible and also own and use this gun. That said i know what im talking about.
So efrideet's spear with the right perks has a instant kill on the last round. even though this is pretty overwelmingly powerfull i do think they can keep this on the gun only with a few tweaks.
As we all know special ammo isnt hard to get. You can pretty much find it behind any rock or cover you can find in every map. Combine that with the low magazine size of the gun: 3 you can pretty much waste 2 bullets then shoot someone with the last one and do that 5 times before having to run to a nearby rock to pick up fresh ammo.
So in order to fix this i thought of 2 solutions. Let me know what u think about them.
1. this one has been up for quite some time as well, reduce all the special ammo drops. Its to easy to get it! if there are less ammo drops people will be less likely to waste those 2/3 bullets in the magazine for that final shot.
2. Increase the magazine from 3 to 6! this might seem like a buff but it isnt. you now have to waste 5 bullets to get to your final round. This will make people with the sniper go more often to the ammo crates making them also a bit more vulnerable and makes hitting that last round more important.
now ofcourse you can also just remove that perk and your done as well ;P
well guys that was about it, let me know what you guys think. do you think it needs to be broken down or do you think it should stay the same as it is now?
i feel a little sad for the people with the black hammer try harding to aim for my head for like 5+ sec then i turn around aim for 0.5 seconds and shoot them in their toe killing em directly.... ;P

I kinda hope they don't "fix" it. The only reason why any of the iron banner weapons are good is because you can reroll them. Truthfully the gun is balanced enough as is, when you take the slow fire-rate, required two waisted shots, and the reload time all together, you get a sniper rifle that yes -- is one-hit kill -- but also takes a ridiculous amount of time to prime between shots. This makes it so much easier to counter than a regular sniper rifle with a guardian who actually knows what they're doing (aka always getting headshots) with a "comparatively" much much faster rate of fire. Let me just say I have the gun with the upgrade and I do use it sometimes. Truthfully I find myself playing poorly whenever I do because of the play style the rate of fire forces you to use AND this is with the upgrade that speeds up reloading when magazine is empty plus special weapon reload glove boost. So think whatever you think, but it's not as OP as you think.
