I feel that the gun is enjoyable to use but requires a buff to compete with the many other legendary auto rifles that completely outshine it is a creative and fun exotic weapon to use as a titan but it needs many buffs including a small damage buff, small increase in stability and magazine size and overall this will create a better feel for the weapon for the few people who actually enjoy using this gun.

8 RepliesI messed around with Fabian back when it got "fixed". It was fun on a close range map but it was pointless using it otherwise. Even then it was only successful cos no one knew wtf they wanted to use either lmao. This clip is a good example of how it can be effective, but it's too situational to be viable. Especially as it just got nerfed vis a vis the nerf to Doctrine archetype weapons.

From another thread: How about give Fabian strategy a magazine boost to 80? Bear with me: General Fabian was famous for keeping -away- from his enemy, only fighting close when he had to. A big mag would incentivize distance / ammo conversion, without making the gun junk close in. It would be exotic, without overpowering the weapon's DPS.

It should retain its impact when the ROF increases.

1 ReplyA long very long sentence, but I certainly agree.

1 ReplyEdited by HELP1NG HAND: 6/22/2016 1:16:16 PMThe exotic perk needs to be reworked. Preferably something that makes use of that ballistic shield on the front of the weapon. Examples could include: taking reduced splash damage, activating the guerrilla fighter perk whenever ADS'ing, an armor boost or damage resistance, etc. Personally I think the guerilla fighter perk would be perfect.

4 RepliesEdited by BRAZACK: 6/21/2016 9:44:59 PMWas using it in crucible yesterday for shits and giggles. It wasnt doing so bad but it needs allot more stability. Once they get close it turns into dop with no stability. If it had high stability it would be supergood. I got a double kill because two guys were really close and i bullethosed them to death. All it needs is stability and mag size increase. The damage is fine. It will pretty much be like dop in cqc and a slow firing but accurate ar at range. This thing has the potential to be a beast....i dont like the iron sights so an optional added sight would be nice.

It also couldn't hurt to replace the Lightweight perk on the center column with something more useful, like a stability perk.

1 ReplyOne more thing to add, the range in which the front lines perk actives should be increased. Right now it actives in shotgun range which makes it useless.

Agreed. I would basically make it a completely un nerfed doctrine at active ranges.
