Jade Rabbit needs an overhaul
Let's face it, the gun might as well have no perks. Zen Moment is a waste when its catalyst is +30 Stability, its Exotic trait actively encourages to be inaccurate and, as far as I can tell, it's the only Exotic gun (i.e. not including Bows or Swords) to not have a Grip or Stock. It is genuinely just a 150 Scout, already one of the most unforgiving archetypes in the game, that wants you to miss on purpose and its only slightly redeeming feature is good stats versus other 150s.
I genuinely think it's in the same tier as Salvation's Grip, and it was almost criminal for it to not be buffed alongside the likes of Lumina and Tarrabah with this expansion.

Jade is a green scout. That being said, it's a green scout that's better than most legendaries of it's archetype.

2 RepliesIt doesn't ask you to miss it asks you to get body shots.

I'd like to see rapid hit or outlaw on Jade Rabbit. I frequently use the Jade Rabbit in PvP and when you get body shots & then critical on different juxtaposed opponents you can easily get double or even triple kills if they're holding hands.

2 RepliesAs a Skyburner's user, I agree with you. (Although at least Jade Rabbit has the perk of being consistent.) Jade Rabbit is an oddly forgiving scout rifle, but honestly? It's held back by being in the most inconsistent Archetype of Scout Rifle, that gets screwed over if other players are rocking JUST enough Resilience, forcing it to take 4 shots to kill rather than 3. And Skyburner's has a similar problem, since its ADS boasts a similar fire rate. EXCEPT, Skyburner's isn't even consistent at hitting. Sometimes it does damage, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it registers instantly, sometimes it takes 10 seconds for any damage to register. Also the Hipfire Tracking is garbo. Honestly, there are so many Exotic Scouts left in unfavorable positions; Skyburner's, Jade Rabbit, Polaris Lance, etc. I just wish that they'd give those Exotics just as much love as the others. Don't even get me started on the Catalysts either. Like how the Catalyst for Skyburner's gives it Range, despite the fact that it has no damage fall off. Or Jade Rabbit's catalyst not boosting its handling. Even just reworking the masterworks to better suit the guns, is all I really want.

4 RepliesI think lumina and terrabah got reworked because those have clearly defined roles and perks, while Bungie just straight up doesn't know what to do with the jade rabbit. It was made as a D1 PS exclusive and I think it was just supposed to be a filler exotic for Sony, because half a decade later it does the same thing and it's still just as bad.

The masterwork should give it luna’s howl and not forgotten perk This way would make the gun extremely forgiving since now headshots will buff your body shot damage and body shot damage will buff your headshots, iow it will always 3 tap the enemy.

Edited by SirHeadPoppington: 3/3/2022 1:03:55 AMIt doesn't want you to miss on the first 2 shots, it kills in 3 shots either way. So the only thing the exotic perk does is make it more forgiving, kind of. It does have one good thing though, a dope -blam!- ornament.
-
The damage increase needs to be a lot more. 9 body shots + 1 headshot should do 1.5x 10 straight headshots. Make us wager on it like lasting impression rockets.

5 RepliesI think the JR is actually one of the most underrated guns in the game for pvp. I don’t really ever lose a fight at mid to long range with it. With the catalyst as long as you hit the shots the only gun that can compete with it is a sniper. And most of the time it beats them too.
-
Pfff. Chaining body shots for a powerful precision shot? Stupid.
-
They should give it boolean Geminis perk options from d1
-
They should give it that new perk I think it’s called focused fury? Where if you deal headshot damage for half a mag you get bonus damage. Give a better version of that and it’ll be a decent weapon maybe. Swap zen moment for triple tap/fourth times.

i been saying this for a long time

I agree, the model looks amazing and the gun feels solid but its weaker than a white tier scout and That says a lot.
