My idea is to either supplement the zoom perk on the helm (or replace entirely) with bonus precision damage with your golden gun.
This wouldn't affect pvp at all but it would make this helm quite useful in the pve world.
And it is also in line with the core idea behind the helmet in the first place:
"Advanced tactical sensorium. Induced hallucinations integrate broad-spectrum targeting data."
I like the look of this helm but can't really justify using it in any situation, as my other exotic hunter armor pieces are much more useful.
As of now it's completely pointless to go for precision hits with the golden gun, which i think plays against the role of the hunter. A perk that adds the precision damage potentially doubling the total dps would make this helm quite viable, without game-breaking mechanics (**cough saint-14, **cough obsidian mind).
could be cool gaurdians!
Bump if you like the idea, or comment your own ideas on exotics that could use a tweak!
EDIT: ok saint-14 isn't "gamebreaking" but it is an example of an exotic perk that has a very large impact on the gameplay.

It should have the zoom kept but, have the subclass perk 'Over the horizon' and 'bonus accuracy' or 'keyhole' perk added to the helmets perk like helm of inmost light allowing other perks to used aswell. Would make it viable.
