The weapon itself is GOOD. Not great. You can do decent damage with it, but its not worth the exotic slot. The front lines perk looks good on paper, but in reality, it doesnt affect the gun at all. I petition to make the increase in stats from the front lines perk more apparent. Turn the gun from a normal weapon to an exotic tool of a titan. Make it reflect the titans characteristic of brute force and power. Make this gun exotic.
*edit* im happy people are reading this and agreeing. (For the most part.)

With the "buff" it's getting in the new update it sounds like it will be better but the fact it will change to a billet hose archetype when front lines is active I think might hurt it more then do good. But the rest of the adjustments to the weapon sound like a good idea. Also I hope the add a in game notice of when the front lines perk is active that would help a TON!!

Eh. I shared mine. It was decent, just no impact. I'm more of a scout rifle guy, myself.
-
This gun is basically a good, like You said not great auto rifle with 3 decent perks instead of 2. It doesn't really have a standalone exotic perk.
-
This weapon lack purpose/theme. I would propose it be upgrades to a perk that allows the Titan to fire out of their own bubbles. If they have Weapon of Light or Blessing of Light effect, It would have additional benefits or separate benefits. This would allow them to synergize with other Defenders.

Auto rifles in general need a buff.
-
I agree
-
According to an analysis on Reddit today, it appears that the Front Lines perk is just bugged. Fabian doesn't need a buff, it needs to be fixed.

This gun sucks. Ace of spades is great in pve, Tlaloc is amazing in everything, and Fabian Strat is great to take up vault space

My peen needs a buff
-
My hakke Zarinaea D is better, how can they let that happen?
-
Agreed
-
Agreed
-
I agree with this 100%
-
Slow reload and low stability along with mid fire rate and high impact would do great in my opinion of capturing the Titan in this gun
-
Make the perk work!
-
All the banshee exotics need a buff
-
I concur. It really doesn't feel like the perk is active or even useful as it is now
-
It should have been a pulse rifle.
-
It's the perk. I want a exotic that I can feel the difference
-
Might as well be the monte carlos weak little brother
-
The Fabian strategy is literally a nerfed Monte Carlo. Compare stats.

Edited by The 7th fall: 10/14/2015 11:02:06 PMYep the Titan's rifle is cool, but definitely not worth the exotic slot. The Hunters get an exotic fatebringer, Warlocks get a scout rifle on roids, and Titans get a... well a mediocre assault rifle. I've had several legendary ARs, even bad ones, pass through my inventory that could perform better than the Fabian Strategy. In short Bungie needs to buff the exotic perk to actually be noticeable when it works, cause right now if you try it out it barely does a damn thing. Just look at a few video comparisons and they all show it does virtually nothing to affect the gun's performance.

it's a damn shame because i was really looking forward to using this weapon before TTK dropped but after i got it i realized how terrible it was

Your not actually taking that idiot Kackis seriously right? The same person who can't use any skill based weapon to save his life? The one who constantly bitches and complains because something isn't god tier? The work is fine, works great in Crucible and PvE because of its higher DPS compared to other Autos. The perk is wonderful and great for dishing out a ton of damage in a small period of time. It's like Tlaloc, but an Auto Rifle form that requires you to be closer than most weapons require.

Edited by oOAbOmInAtIoNOo: 10/14/2015 6:07:12 PMI don't give a rats ass anymore. Bungie obviously spends their time discussing how to milk the cow, how to extend the grind and what to nerf.If it's not OP, or not drawing a huge crowd to use it, they don't care about it.
