This must be buffed, it looks too badass to perform so poor.
If anyone wants proof that this gun sucks here is mine.
So i took my NLB with 307 attack and 'The Master' perk which is supposed to increase prec damage.
Then i headshotted a level 2 red health bar vandal and hit 1058 damage
So then i took my 274 attack ice breaker as vanilla as it comes with no upgrades at all.
Headshotted another level 2 red health bar vandal and hit 1900 damage.
Really Bungie?
BTW, the NLB seems to shoot more than twice as slow as the ice breaker does with that bolt action, so one would think that it would do about twice the damage to balance it out, especially with 'The Master' perk. despite the stat card saying that the NLB and the ice breaker have the same rate of fire and damage, the NLB does nearly half as much damage as the ice breaker with HIGHER ATTACK and THE MASTER PERK at a MUCH slower rate of fire.
This shows how absolutely trash this guns performance is, take into account that its a PRIMARY with NO ELEMENTAL and NO SCOPE and a serious ammo issue, i have no idea why bungie actually approved the stats on this gun before releasing the dark below. I am not going to lie, i was kind of in shock at how bad this gun is, i really expected it to be my goto sniper for boss missions.
So the conclusion is simply this: CURRENTLY (one of) THE COOLEST LOOKING EXOTIC IN THE GAME IS THE WORST EXOTIC IN THE GAME. BUFF PLEASE.
To fix this all bungie has to do is make the NLB at max rank(with 'the master') do nearly TRIPLE the amount of prec damage that the ice breaker does at max rank, and keep everything else the same. The whole premise of the NLB is an extremely powerful yet agonizingly slow, inconvenient sniper. The NLB does all of that EXCEPT THE EXTREMELY POWERFUL PART! All it needs is damage, and a lot of it.
