Did anybody on PS4/PS3 notice that after the recent 1.1.1 patch last Wednesday, the 4th Horseman exotic shotgun got one of the worst nerfs a weapon has ever received? Well it did. I'm not big on shotguns in Destiny, but the Horseman was really the only one I liked to use on a regular basis. So needless to say, after the PVE shotgun buff, the 4th Horseman was the first one I tried out. But, to my disappointment and anger, I found out that the Horseman took an extreme nerf that was never announced in the patch notes or even hinted to on one of Bungie's previous posts. The Horseman had its fire rate reduced to less than a quarter of its original. It also took a huge reduction to stability, putting it down to the smallest amount available. The Final Round ability doesn't even appear on the weapon card anymore. The 4th Horseman was perfectly fine before the patch. The range at base was already horrendous, but the fire rate and stability are what made up for the bad range. Not to mention that it had pretty decent impact too. It was a shotgun worthy of calling Exotic. But now it's almost unusable. I don't know if these changes were intentional on Bungie's part (because the 4th Horseman changes weren't mentioned in the 1.1.1 Patch Notes) but they need to be fixed. If any of you have any additional info to give me on this subject, please leave a reply.

4th horseman was [b]not[/b] worthy of being an exotic pre or post nerf. Trust me. Wanna know how it really should've been? Exotic perk that allows each of the four barrels to fire a seperate shot at the same time, allowing for quad shots in one shot. Imho*.
