the white nail perk before was fairly broken and for great players allowed for unlimited ammo, the change destroyed the weapon but its still good no doubt.
here is my suggestion to make it a weapon people can still use and love
Black spindle change: only 9 ammo at any given time 3 in mag 6 in reserve, (3/6)
White Nail Perk: landing 3 rapid precision shots adds 3 to the Reserve ammo
this allows for a portion of the greatness of the weapon before, and making it so that you dont have a unlimited supply of ammo or many tries at procing White Nail, only 3 for a set of 9 bullets and you still have to reload making it balance out, both in pvp and pve
the poll is merely to see if people would think this is a good idea

Honestly I find its good as it is. Put on more ammo for snipers and with the mulligan working more often I can usually get maybe get 9-12 shots in before I need to take cover. It still holds greatness

The whole entire kingsfall raid is based off of damage per second in a limited amount of time. The black spindle is the perfect gun for that exact job.

I'll agree to that

That would definitely be an improvement over what we currently have.

First off, they need to call it 'White Needle'. It kinda goes with it now being called Spindle. As it is, the only difference between it and the Hammer is one is an exotic with Yr 2 atk. I would really like something to make the Spindle stand out from the Hammer. While I guess the original White Nail perk did make boss fights in Yr 1 go by very quickly (that was on Bungie for making slow moving enemies with large crit points), I don't see as much of a problem with the newer bosses that move more and have smaller crit points. The gun should reward a good aim especially now that it is exotic, but it just doesn't seem great or unique for it to have a speed reload. But just to satisfy those with a problem for the original perk, it can't be so. My solution is to make it so it refills the mag but takes one bullet out of the reserves, with a reduced reserve ammo cap. This will reward people more bullets for getting precision shots, punish them for missing, and cause them to eventually have to go find ammo. Just my thoughts on the matter.

Kinda reminds you of icebreaker though right? And that exotic is confirmed to not even be getting a Y2 version. I don't see Bungie doing this whatsoever but we can dream right?

1 ReplyHonestly with its impact it's a great dps weapon, consider it a sniper with a 21 round mag. I did enjoy the original white nail for killing spider tanks however
