I've heard people talk about how the Ice Breaker sniper rifle is the best thing since sliced bread in the game and since Xur was selling it again so soon in the Tower and had the coins, I decided to buy one. I'm pretty competent with sniper rifles and can get some twitch kills with it on occasion, if I'm lucky a spree. I normally use my Y-09 Longbow Synthesis and maxed it's damage output out and I love this weapon when taking down bosses in strikes, raids and the crucible due to it's long range and relatively high stability and low recoil/muzzle jump. Granted I haven't had the Ice Breaker long and I'm best with my Auto Rifles and Shotguns anyway and Sniper Rifles when I'm in a groove, I'm failing to see why everybody is fawning over this weapon as the best one in the game as I have a few complaints about it. 1. The "No Backpack" auto perk, I dislike that it recharges ammo over time and there's no option to have a traditional magazine. 2. It's stability and by extension it's muzzle jump is horrendous, I take one shot and I'm halfway to looking at the sky 3. It's impact is below my prefered sniper rifle, the Longbow and has options of caliber rounds like Armor Piercing that the Ice Breaker lacks. 4. Complaint 4 is purely cosmetic, I don't like the sound it makes when you fire, sounds wimpy and lacks a certain "kick". If you love the Ice Breaker then more power to you, I just don't see what the big deal is about it.
