Exactly how No Land Beyond should be buffed

No Land Beyond (NLB) is the worst among the worst exotics in the game, even if you are good with it. It can hold its own in the crucible but has almost no use in PvE, unless you wanna deal a little extra damage from a cheese spot. The gun obviously needs a lot of fixing. From the stats, perks, and a little miscellaneous but how exactly? ~Starting with the stats: *Rate of Fire(RoF)- The RoF on NLB is technically the same as ice breaker and that would be alright if it could actually fire that fast, but because of the bolt animation it fires almost 3 times as slow. The time it takes to pull the bolt back is laughable I could fire 3 shots from my bolt action 16 ga in the time it takes to fire 1 NLB round and prime the next. (slight exaggeration) -Fix: simply quicken the bolt animation, not to COD speed but at least make it feel realistic. * Impact-Yet another laughable trait of this gun, the impact seems alright for this gun on paper but in practice it falls horribly short. One would think that for such a slow fire rate this thing must hit like a truck, well not really. Per bullet NLB is out preformed by almost all legendary and exotic snipers even if they have less impact. I'm not sure if this is a bug or it has to do with it being a primary but it is kinda pathetic. -Fix: Boost it like crazy, not to the point where it one shots in PvP but up until people know what just shot them. its damage should be a little over IceBreaker in PvE. When you shoot someone in PvP it should leave them with such minisclule health that a body shot from Atheon's epilogue will kill them. *Range, Stability and reload are all fine, (Maybe a very small buff to stability but not all that necessary) ~Perks: *I really have no preference for the first 3 perks, but ones that decrease range and boost other stats would be nice. *Mulligan-really worthless for this gun. If you are trying to have a gun where your shots matter why would give it a perk that encourages shitty aim. -Fix: Replace this with something more useful like unflinching or firefly. My favorite idea for a replacement would be final round. it really adds to the idea of making your shots count and would give the a one shot kill capability in the crucible for the last round in the mag. It would basically say, "lets see how much damage you can do with one bullet." *1.Agility, 2.Snapshot, 3.Flared Magwell, all of these have pretty dismal use except for snapshot, so please remove all of them. -Fix: 1. Armor Piercing Rounds/explosive rounds- this would give it some effectiveness against large groups of enemies. 2. Field scout-this will be helpful for carrying more rounds so you aren't always running out 3. Single Point Sling/Fitted Stock- SPS would help it feel more like a primary giving you more movement and less sway when ADS, Fs would greatly reduce recoil and make chaining shots much easier *The Master- Currently a lack luster exotic perk because of its uselessness in PvP, and isn't all that helpful in PvE -Fix: keep the increased precision damage and damage against next target but make it a perk that really requires someone skilled with this gun to use and rewards them greatly for it. Instead of just buffing the damage, have it buff all the stats as you chain up kills (or maybe precision shots to make it useful against bosses.) each kill or PS would increase stability, reload time, damage, RoF/bolt pull time, and range(not necessary.) So now it feels like an exotic perk and makes NLB a good exotic gun ~Miscellaneous: *Remove lens flare *Make the sight a little less bulky and remove some of the zoom *When you fire off the last round remove the bolt animation, because the priming animation after you put in the magazine would empty the chamber anyway. *More reserve ammo Let me hear what you think about NLB and give me some suggestions on how you think it should be buffed.

    I don't agree. I think all it need is a small boost to damage and have the lenses glare renoved. PS this gun is probably firing a fifty cal bullet. If you have ever tried pulling the bolt on a Barrett fifty cal you would know that that is just about as fast as you can pull it.
