Buff the Khovostov firing modes
It feels a little too weak for an exotic. It reminds me of the necrochasm from year 1, spits out a whole lot of rounds, but doesn't do much of anything. Not asking for high caliber rounds, just a damage buff.
Edit: So after taking it into the crucible, I found that the 900 RPM AR type is [b][u]really[/u][/b] effective. That said, based on what I've heard and seen in PVE, the other firing options are fairly weak. If anything, a slight damage buff to the burst and semi-auto modes might be needed in order to make them more viable options.

Was just saying this yesterday. The auto mode is fine but burst and semi-auto need some type of buff. They're not really viable at the moment.
-
I was pumped to see another potential max ROF pulse rifle contender to grasp. But having the damage cap at 16 at 900rpm is ridiculous. The only viable option is auto 900rpm. I kinda feel like it's a bug, bc there's no way they'd let a pulse or scout have nearly that low of damage.

1 ReplyI agree. When the 450rpm mode is chosen it's literally the lowest dps weapon in the game. It's nice that people like the 900rpm mode since it's effective but it's supposed to be an exotic and each firemode should be competitive with other autos of it's class (which it isn't right now) The Suros Regime out competes it in literally every single way on damage, range and stability Also the gun fire sound for the khvostov is shit.

Auto is cool, depending on perks, burst & semi-auto I agree.

2 RepliesI was under the impression that the new Khvostov was going to be an auto, pulse, and scout rifle all in one weapon. But it doesn't feel like a pulse or a scout when set to burst/semi-auto because the rounds are too weak, they don't increase impact enough.
-
Strongly agree. For PvE we need a significant boost to range and impact in the semi-auto and burst modes. It's fun to play with, but it's totally eclipsed by MIDA in PvE

1 ReplyI think that for single shot 450 RPM the impact should greatly increase to do damage more like a scout rifle. 27 damage to the head isn't nearly enough to justify using that mode.

I was really hoping the change in modes was real. Like Making it actually a Scout and Pulse. Range, damage, and RoF wise. It's ok though.

3 RepliesEdited by Dexter307: 9/21/2016 8:43:17 PMSwitching firing modes should actually change your damage and range significantly. Then they should make it so that pressing a button on the D-pad can allow you to quickly swap firing modes. That would make it truly exotic.
-
I think the full auto mode is fine as is. However single shot should get a huge buff to impact. Its a jack of all trades master of none right now. I understand why they may be a bit timid in really buffing them, but as is its pretty useless as a "scout rifle".
-
It sucked, became infusion fuel.

2 RepliesStop asking Bungie to "Nerf" everything and maybe main weapons would still be useful.

5 RepliesThe 450 RPM has lower RoF AND impact than autos in the Shadow Price archetype...

4 RepliesThe gun is good, maybe u just suck
-
6 RepliesIt's actually really good

4 RepliesYou may misunderstand the point of the weapon. It's milk chocolate- good no matter how you serve it. But I would say that the scout options need some work- I can't understand why it is so weak on its hits.
-
8 RepliesWeak? You tell me khvostov is weak while I fight in the archon's forge alone using only the khvostov. Semi-auto is lack luster but otherwise wonderful in its archetype Burst fire on 450 rpm is lack luster and weak feeling, but as an archetype, functions well regardless of how it feels Burst fire under 900 rpm instead of 450 rpm is wonderful, and would make the khvostov a worthy weapon against the grasp of malok Auto fire on 900 rpm with perfect balance and braced frame is a force to be reckoned with, but if you ever wanna use this archetype, fit yourself with some auto rifle reload gauntlets The day that I can't solo the archon's forge with the khvostov is the day that the khvostov is claimed weak.
-
9 RepliesWell, regardless of functionality, it is by far the ugliest exotic yet. Giant magwell, small magazine, two charging handles, wood stock... This is what a group of third graders would design putting together a gun from other parts they think look cool. If it's going to look like firearms we have now, at least try to not screw it up? 0/10 Bungie, F.

The stat archetypes need to change when changing between auto, burst fire, semi - auto. Otherwise, there is no point in using anything other than full auto.

Got it last night and gave the various perks a work out. Initial impression is that it's good but not great. Sadly making it great would then cause the salty whiners to cry OP. My thoughts for the AR mode are: leave the capacity and impact unchanged when you switch between rof options (use the 450rpm levels). The higher rof would obviously burn through the mag fast, but with the impact remaining high should offset that. Stability should be reduced with the 900rpm rof to keep it slightly realistic. As for the pulse rifle mode, I don't use them a lot so I will have to play around with this, hawk saw and a couple others to see. I'm a huge scout user and was underwhelmed by the semi auto mode. The impact just doesn't seem to be there for it. Basically it's a decent do everything primary that isn't great anywhere but can get the job done everywhere.

1 ReplyYeah, I wish the burst and single shot variants were a little more viable
-
900 rpm scout mode is obviously the most OP scout in the game. Needs a nerf IMO. Same with fusions. They have like a .1 second kill time for holding the trigger down. (satire)
