No. Tlw is a niche gun for a specific playstyle. It works amazing for the playstyle but that's it. The only reason it was dominant for so long in PvP was because of a broken/bugged perk. The old bonus precision damage when hip firing also was working when ads. I have no idea why bungie let this run rampant for months. But yet white nail gets disabled in a week and vanilla bed gets nurfed a week after it became popular in the crucible. Any weapon that was only dominant because of a bugged perk and not because of its inherent design does not qualify for best primary.

  • I mostly point to TLW because of the length of its reign as "OP", the amount of people that used it, and the fact that it still has a short TTK. Whereas other "OP" weapons have been nerfed into uselessness. Just my opinion though

  • I'm pretty sure the majority of informed players would disagree with you. Even without that perk TLW was an awesome gun. Performance,design,function and lore all has to be taken into account.

  • It was a consistent 2 headshot kill thanks to the perk and yes the range was insane on it. I mean back then all handcannon ranges were ridiculous. But if it wasn't for the consistent 2 headshot kill even when ads the gun would of been much harder to use and it could of been countered at range a bit better. Since its hard to land at range hip fire headshots. Im not saying it wasnt a solid gun. It was. Just that a broken perk is what put it over the top. Perfect example is between the range nerf and fixing the broken perk tlw practically dissapeared from use.

  • Also dominant because of its range
