Take a loot at its gameplay.

It's perk is increased damage from a kill for the next target. Presumably this means it DOES NOT stack.
[b]Edit 1: not fully upgraded, can't judge, but I'm assuming it's a slight damage increase. It only matters for base damage as headshots are usually kills anyway. [/b]
In pvp, a head shot is already a kill, and it should stay as 2 shot for body. This sniper is a high-risk, high-reward. Either you get a headshot with it or YOU DIE. The damage increase per kill will not make it a 1 shot-body shot OP sniper.
What I think needs a buff:
-it is about 3 seconds between shots, lower it to 2 seconds, or make each kill increase RoF slightly to make it 2 seconds.
-the iron sights could use a bit of work, like bad juju
Sniper overhaul:
-1 bullet per clip, make it 1 shot regular, non major enemies crit or no in PvE only, PvP is still 2 shot. give it a good reload speed. in pve for regular majors, 2 shots if the second is a headshot (due to increased precision damage).
-make iron sights smaller. [b][/b]

No, PvP scrub comment. :p

I would like to know what the designer was smoking when they created this POS, cause I'd like to have some of that. I couldn't bring myself to dismantle..It now sits in the vault with other POS exotics.

Not under powered at all. Some guy has already solo'd the raid using only this gun. [spoiler]Just kidding, he had over four hours of failed attempts.[/spoiler]

The no land beyond NEEDS a buff since it Is a ptimary you should be able to hold a little bit more ammo than if it was a special weapon. Also, it would it needs buffs in the fire rate, impact and just a a little in stability. The weapon has good potential since is a sniper in the primary slot and it looks amazing but unfortunately the stats don't match the weapon.
-
Higher rof, better sights, more damage
-
Just give it more ammo.
-
Yay I can agree cause I have this :D
-
Are you really complaining about a weapon that isn't even ingame yet? Oh boy...
-
This guy was exactly right. I got this last night and tested it out. It is inferior in every way to the legendary snipers you can buy ( rof, handling, sights, even DMG! ), except for range. However there is no situation in the game that requires this extreme range. It's a trash gun. I don't demand a buff, but no one is going to use it unless they do,.
-
buff this, nerf this, goddamn, the gun is fine. this thing is for pve, definitely not pvp. not saying it won't be good in pvp, but that with its perk, it seems to be primarily for pve.
-
Guns absolute trash. Got it from a ROC Strike last night. And I don't need to have it fully upgraded to make this judgment
-
Its excellent for close quarters in PvP but yeah u only get 1 shot or you die the iron sight is to huge to really aim well bolt action needs to be faster really crucial for PvP but for pve this gun is a monster those knights in the raid get destroyer with crits

I can't wait to own it. - I love sniping always carry one, can't wait to take that fine ass bolt action and decapitate guardians.
-
It's a simple fix make flared maxwell apply to the bolt action and not the mag.
-
Wait? There is actually someone complaining about a weapon they haven't even gotten their hands on yet? I'm confused as to why this thread exists.
-
Idiots calling buffs on weapons that aren't available ..... Brilliant Here's an idea why not try it first ?
-
Before asking for a buff, see how well [i]you[/i] can do with it.
-
Wow really? Get out of here with this stupidity. The shit isn't even released and idiots calling for nerfs.
-
The gun isn't even availible yet and this thread exists?
-
Haven't even been used yet by common masses wtffffffdffffff!!!!
-
It's definitely a very intriguing weapon, gonna have to wait and see how it performs in game. I forsee it being a very hard weapon to balance for both pvp and pve.
-
Let's just wait and see how it performs maxed out before asking for a buff. I've grown more and more excited to get this gun as the release draws closer don't ruin it for me lol
-
These replies are hilarious. You guys are so ignorant that just the mentioning of a gun in the title immediately makes most of you assume it's about a nerf. He's asking for a buff. Just remember, you can't spell assume without ass (•-•)
-
I'm literally LOLing at every post on this thread that is talking bad about it or just shutting down the OP.. because it's exactly what I'm thinking in my head hahaha
