I really enjoy this auto rifle in PvE, however, I believe the perk Front Lines in PvP needs to change. When it procs in PvP, the RoF and Stability are maxed, but the Impact is reduced to fall in line with the max RoF archetype, which completely negates the usefulness of the perk.
To get into the range at which Front Lines procs, you have to pass through TLW and sidearm range, and enter extreme shotgun range. So in essence, precisely when what is supposed to make this auto rifle worth the exotic slot in a crucible match happens, it is outclassed by other weapons. The Impact needs to be kept at 8 when Front Lines procs in the crucible, or at least not reduced to a measly 1 or 2.
Those are my thoughts on the matter, at least.
If you agree, please upvote so as to bring Bungie's attention to this. Thank you for your time.

Why do people keep saying it's not good in crucible? That thing used to be one of my favorite crucible guns that would wreck house, and then it got buffed to be even better! It doesn't need a buff or change, you need more skill.
