I like it, it's a great sniper, but why does everyone love it so much?!
[b]Edit 1[/b] Wow seems that a lot of people are saying it's because of the aim assist... I agree it has a very high standard aim assist for its class. But I usually go with her benevolence because mine has better perks.
-
Because it's gr8
-
Final round.
-
YouTube Planet destiny Holtzman does a great pvp sniper review. LDR comes out on top for him, give it a watch ;)
-
Because it's freaking beast
-
Zombie Thread...back from the dead...!
-
Because it's been made popular by Holtzman fans
-
The impact can ravish a self-rezzed Warlock and enemies that get revived with just a headshot.
-
Because it's perf
-
Because it's a great gun
-
The longbow actually has better stats on paper according to the planet destiny database.
-
I have one with final round
-
I prefer longbow but yeah its good
-
Anybody know where Holtzman is today? He could tell you
-
High impact, Arc, field scout, clown cartridge and spray and play.. With ambush scope. Things insane
-
Last round, double down and armor piercing rounds...
-
Impact
-
It's the thing for us vets.. Well any pre HoW scrubs who made it on 32 through vendor gear and then 34 thro variks
-
Because my LDR has final round, I NEVER use this gun...except and ONLY when I get final rounded in Trials and I want to teach the other guy a lesson.

Before they buffed the armour piercing perk this beast could shoot through almost anything including concrete pillars so in PvE it was incredible. Some earlier YouTube clips show guys using it in a similar way in PvP. I had 3 different arc ldr snipers with different perks. Don't play crucible so kept the one with armour piercing and firefly which was a harder roll to get.

Edited by fballguy: 7/13/2015 7:24:11 PMI got one from an engram a couple months ago that does arc damage and has unflinching, field scout, and final round. I still like my spears better, but since I don't have an arc spear, my LDR is my go to when I decide to use my nechrochasm in arc burn nightfalls. Edit: old thread is old
-
I know that all the new snipers can't hold more than 5 in the clip. So i like my ldr for the 6 shots on a acTivity with a burn
-
The lack of high impact snipers in HoW mostly. LDR is just a well balanced sniper that hits hard and is a beast in Trials. And I think it has a better rep than espear. I have 2 and it was my first Legendary. The one I use in PVP has Performance Bonus, Perfect Balance and Final Round.

Edited by Neutrill: 4/21/2015 7:12:56 PMI always wondered this too. I have every sniper in the game (except queens) and my favourite above all else? LDR! I wondered why and I've come to the conclusion on why it's so good. It's extremely high Impact AND Aim Assist. High Impact snipers generally have a very low AA (Efrideet's Spear for example) and LDR has an oddly high AA. Close to Patience and Times (highest in Destiny). Mine also has Firefly and Field Scout and is Solar. Thats a big reason too. Don't just buy this from the vendor though. Their version is trash unless you're desperate for an Arc sniper. (I have Speer in Arc) I generally don't use Vanguard, Faction or Crucible weapons. I prefer End Game content. But LDR and Against All Odds are my 2 exceptions. imo, the best legendary in their class by far with the right perks. (Jolder's Hammer = Against All Odds) TL;DR = LDR is good because of it's aim assist and impact.

It was the first gun I maxed to 365. Ive been using mine for months now. It has Field Scout and Clown Cartridge. It's my favourite Legendary.
-
I don't see that many people with it and if there using it most of them have final round
-
Ldr is one of those mid rate of fire and mid impact snipers. Those are the best in my opinion. The longbow was extremely similar but the ldr was more popular since the vendor versions had good perks compared to the longbow. In this dlc "her benevolence" is pretty much the new ldr
