I bought the damn thing from Xur the first time he stocked it, thinking Bungie would eventually buff this woefully underpowered weapon. But that hasn't happened yet, and this piece of sh** has been collecting dust in my Vault ever since.
I actually like the idea of having a bolt-action sniper rifle for a primary weapon; but it's just so freaking useless! It runs out of ammo extremely fast, making it a questionable choice even in Patrol mode, and the bolt-action animation is way too slow.
Here's what needs to be done:
1. [b][u]More reserve ammo[/u][/b], enough to sustain in during a Story mission or Strike in PvE. I'm thinking 48 spare rounds (54 rounds total) would do it; replacing the useless "Mulligan" perk with "Surplus" would also help to keep this thing stocked.
2. [b][u]Increase the speed of the bolt-action animation[/u][/b], or allow this to be affected by the "Flared Magwell" perk. It's too slow, and makes the weapon a bit unwieldy.
3. [b][u]Get rid of scope glare[/u].[/b] [i]It doesn't have a scope, it has iron-sights[/i], therefor it should not have glare. Common-f***ing sense.

Bump. I miss that gun so much.

It's where it should be.

Am I the only person who thinks this gun is legitimately good in PvP?

I would rather have a new raid. Let them focus on that.

Edited by fatedsorrow: 4/22/2015 9:18:30 PMI think it should have twice the fire rate and significantly less flinching when aiming, but half the damage.
-
Then the crucible will be filled with it
-
There should be more options. Like hopefully soon but probably never.
-
Same with the necrochasm i feel, quite underpowered especially after the auto rifle nerf
-
It's a running joke at bungie office trust me it won't happen
-
Bungie: I think OP made a typo. It should be nerf instead of buff. Ok, since we cater to single people instead of the whole community we will give you this nerf
-
BUFFED!?!?!! Its too OP! It should be nerfed
-
About scope glare. It's not like they are going for realism here. I mean, apparently futuristic shotguns can only shoot 2 feet in front of them....
-
I would like it if there wasn't as much zoom with the iron sights

Edited by haphazardlynamed: 4/22/2015 2:44:47 AMThe glare doesn't come from real scope reflection, it's your characters graphics model lighting up So the argument of iron vs glass is irrelevant, they're pixels doing what they're programmed
-
During one of the crucible QAs, the team didn't really seem like they felt it was underperforming (vs the Necro which they felt sucked) so I wouldn't hold my breath.
-
It needs nerfed...
-
It just needs to be faster in every way. Then it would be acceptable
