Universal Remote needs a Rework. Here is why!

Universal Remote, the Primary Shotgun. This gun has always been a a very Weird spot. Ever since the release of the game. It has been slowing Losing range to the Shotgun class nerfs. On the day this game came out, UR has the longest range of any Shotgun. But unlike most shotguns, UR was a shotgun that took skill because the only way to reach that range was to hit headshots using its namesake perk. Unfortunately When the first shotgun range nerf came around, UR lost a lot of its range. It still had a slightly longer range then other shotguns in the game, but it was severely nerfed. The Nerf that came in the 1.1.1 patch Hurt UR's range a lot. Almost to the point that unless you want to run a sniper. Felwinter's Lie is a better shotgun in every case. It's getting Small use in PvE since it gets bonus person damage on top of the x2 damage PvE buff, but Felwinter's lie still is just as good and lets you run a primary with more ammo. So what can we do to fix UR? Here is my Idea for a rework that would make UR not only a Viable Primary but also worth its Exotic slot. [u]1. Give UR 40-60 reserve ammo:[/u] This Reserve ammo will make it a Much more Viable weapon in PvE. PvP will not be effected because you never run out of Primary ammo in PvP. [u]2. Add these effects to the "Universal Remote" perk.:[/u] [i]A." while aiming down Sights, Universal Remote fires a Slug, This slug will kill a player in a One shot headshot within the range of Pre 1.1.1 patch one shot kill range. This slug will two shot headshot kill outside of that range." [/i] [i]B. "While firing from the Hip. This gun has a reduced Spread of its projectiles." [/i] What this does is not only make this gun fit closer into the role of a primary. but it also lets it keep that makes Univeral remote Unique. also it keep the feel that this gun is only good once you get its namesake perk and is just a standard shotgun until then. so there you go. Please Bungie I want my Junker to Finally return to being a Beast. [u][b]Edit:[/b] adding FAQ to some comment that are worth answering to.[/u] [u][b]Q :[/b][/u] [quote]If it got the buffs you're asking for, it would basically be the best gun in the game.[/quote] [u][b]A:[/b][/u] no. it has a slower RoF then Felwinter's lie. even a 2 shot headshot kill at mid range ( which would be hard to hit since it has very high recoil ) would have a slower time to kill then hawkmoon ( both 2 shot and 3 shot kill), Thorn, The Last Word ( fired from the Hip), Mythoclast, Reddeath, and Preydyth's Timepiece. all of which are considered Top PvP weapons and are cruelty used in PvP
