I made a stupid joke about it having a perk like firefly that turns killed enemies into attack bunnies... But seriously... what if we just made the thing way out of the normal archetype, maybe like a scout rifle version of Ariana's vow. A LOT of recoil, a LOT of damage, uses special ammo. Called the Jade Rabbit because it bounces like a rabbit every time you pull the trigger. The alternate I thought of was each crit shot increases damage and recoil, each body shot reduces damage and recoil. That is similar to the dead man's tale but I mean not playing around, a lot of recoil and a lot of damage. so the effort isn't to maintain your headshots so much as trying to control the weapon. Possibly firing over cover greatly controls recoil... On paper it is the most damage dealing scout rifle in the game, maybe even outpacing most nonexotic snipers, IF you can keep it on target.
