I see a potential problem with this idea. Since it’s a sniper and the how champion mechanic works. You be hard pressed to stun the champion (especially overload) with a darci, swap gun to do damage, swap back to Darci to stun the champion again before it regain its health.

I've also said this but I do now think it's the wrong way to go. The Champion gimmick itself needs to go in the trash where it belongs, and then we'd be stuck with a D.A.R.C.I. Catalyst designed to address garbage that isn't in the game anymore.

This sounds like an awesome idea. Another thing is if we want to lean into the “smart”factor, it can pull from Titanfall and have it auto aim to the head with hipfire after you lock on to the target.

[quote]i believe that DARCI is a great concept for a "smart sniper" weapon. tough i find its catalyst to be a little lacking with how much stability it has by default. with how many weapons have anti-champion mods we dont have any snipers with build in anti champion what DARCI's new catalyst would allow it to scan a champion (the scan would last 2-5 seconds depending on range) and load the respective champion round into it i feel like this could make DARCI more viable and fun to use in nightfalls or other activites[/quote] dude, stop what you're doing, go to bungie now and show them how to properly run their game, there're so many great ideas like this, but bungie does not capitalize on them.
