Honestly all linears should be moved to the special slot.
Have their damage nerfed to that of a aggressive frame sniper.
Reduce arbalest aim assist and magnetism.

They dont need a damage Nerf .. They really arent used for optimal dps & the only legendary (besides komodo maybe) that's any good is the one from season of dawn with rapid hit firing line
-
If they were moved to special they would have to have their damage reduced. Right now their damage is sitting as heavy weapons. Are they good? -blam!- no. But having them in line with aggressive snipers damage and such would make them fit better as special weapons.
-
To be honest.. If that meant sleeper would get more ammo I'd be for it
-
Sleeper should remain heavy because of it literally symbolized as a heavy and actually can do good dps. Its other linears that are just sorely lacking why use line in the sand when I can use sleeper? Or any other heavy that isnt an exotic to free up an exotic for another slot? Now if linears could body shot guardians in crucible its be diffrent but like a sniper they require a headshot which in reality is just dumb.
-
Yeah line in the sand was a huge a disappointment .. Bounty dunked for quite a bit until I got the rapid hit firingline roll but.. Linears are pretty useless these days
-
their damage is already comparable to sniper, there is 0 reasons to nerf their dmg if they become special weapons
-
This is the solution, throwing them in heavy does nothing, now no one will use them. Throwing them in the special slot without any modifications would break the game. They need to find the middle ground and just move them to special while also nerfing the damage.
-
Moving them to energy wouldnt break the game they arent that strong even with firing line there are much better choices for dps
-
Exactly. The charge rates compare to rpms on snipers. The benefit is the zoom compared to snipers. It seems soooo obvious.

This so much. I'd actually use them. I hate snipers on console
