Please fix The Stranger's Rifle!!!

You know that gun you get when you beat the Story mode? The one our mysterious Exo friend carries? Anyone else think this thing is a need of a patch? It's a cool-looking gun, but unfortunately it's also kind useless; it's only Level 16, a Rare at that, and there are better Rare weapons to be found at Level 20. It also has some kind of glitch with the reload animation. Here are a few things that could be done to improve it: [b]1. [u]Increase level from 16 to 20[/u].[/b] At present, this gun is little more than a novelty, not the best choice when tackling challenges higher than Level 20. Vanguard Strike playlists, Heroic Strikes, Nightfall, Raid; I would not bring along this gun for any of these activities. It works fine in the Crucible and Patrol mode, but beyond that... Furthermore, this gun should get a higher Attack modifier than other Rare weapons; I'd say 267 max, when fully upgraded, just like the Rank 3 guns from [b]Queen's Wrath[/b]. [b]2. [u]Add Arc damage[/u].[/b] This gun appears to fire Arc rounds, but it actually only does normal Kinetic damage. What the hell? There aren't that many primary weapons, not even among Legendary and Exotic arsenals, that deal special damage. It would be nice to have at least one gun outside of Raid gear that deals special damage. Also, I'm in desperate need of more Arc damage weapons. [b]3. [u]Fix reload animation glitch[/u].[/b] I suppose this is a minor issue, but it's annoying all the same, and I'd like to see it patched. For some reason, this gun uses the Auto-Rifle reload animation despite the fact that it is a Pulse Rifle; as result, your Guardian sticks the magazine in the wrong way whenever you reload. Please fix.

  • I started a new character over the weekend and had the fully upgraded Strangers Rifle in the Vault ready for me to use when I reached level 16. It is such a great gun and has some nice stats except the Attack of 203, 215 when fully upgraded. I too was wondering why it was never a Legendary or at least a level 20 rare at 242 Attack fully upgraded. I feel an exception should have been made for the Strangers Rifle. It should have been made a Legendary but instead of a 247 starting point, it should have been 203 at the starting point with the option to upgrade to 300.
