[b]The good:[/b] [spoiler]- Looks great - Sounds great - Bolt Action - Cool name - Great Impact - Primary Sniper (opens up new play styles with Shotgun, Fusion rifle or double sniper)[/spoiler] [b]The Bad:[/b] [spoiler]- Low damage - Slow bolt pull after each shot - Bolt pull animation even when clip is empty - Sights wobble - Red glare when ADS - Critical hits often don't register - Iron sights take up too much of the screen - User is left disoriented after bolt pull - the angle changes - Clearly a long range sniper but is outclassed by any other sniper at range since it has no scope - Low ammo means you must switch to another weapon in PvE (wtf? Juggler isn't even on??)[/spoiler] [b]Possible fixes (use one or more of these):[/b] [spoiler]- Massively increase damage output per shot since its slow firing with low ammo - Add elemental damage for shields - Overpenetrate should be a standard perk for this weapon, even without upgrades - OHK from chest up in PvP - Remove Red Glare when ADS - White Nail perk like Black Hammer for PvE - Increase reserve ammo - Speed up the bolt pull after each shot. - Remove bolt pull animation when clip is empty - go straight to reload (change magazine) like every other weapon in the game. - Remove wobble when ADS (no other sniper does this) - Re-class weapon as a marksman rifle and remove the zoom when ADS - Give it three different sights like legendary weapons (I know exotics don't have this but you can make an exception)[/spoiler] This is all I can think of for now. Everyone feel free to add your own ideas. Many of us really love this weapon but its not a viable choice at the moment. We challenge our selves using it - knowing that another sniper would do better in our hands. Here is a [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZS3NToBtq_s]montage[/url] I made after I got it from Xur.
