How to make Knucklehead radar relevant
The Memory of Gheleon is literally a better, non exotic version of Knucklehead radar, rendering it entirely worthless. I have a suggestion to make this frankly pretty cool exotic relevant again:
Fourth Eye: Radar always displays while ADS with special weapons
It would add something genuinely unique and exotic, especially for snipers.
Thoughts?

1 ReplyI have an idea Gain third eye for all weapons (special and heavy count) and gain gunslinger trance and keen scout at the same time. Any thoughts?
-
6 RepliesIt should do a gun skill perk, give hunters snapshot mayhaps!?
-
3 RepliesIronically you'd be making patience and time irrelevant by doing that lol.
-
3 RepliesHow about...No? How about if I want to use something other than Memory of Gheleon? Let's say, I want to use, as I usually do, the Memory of Silimar, so I can mitigate Sunsingers/Gunslingers/Sunbreakers with solar burn, and Thorn users? Honestly, have you tried that? Maybe in conjuction with Knucklehead radar? Best of both worlds.

That is an interesting proposal. I'd go further and recommend Detailed Radar (extended range) with special marks for chests, farming materials and super-charged enemies. That would make for a worthwhile Helmet. Nowadays I mostly use Bones of Eao and Sealed Ahamkaras gauntlets. Cheers.

3 RepliesWhile ads with your primary enemies are dots. You know how cannons and stuff in pve or ammo crates in pvp are dots? Stuff like that
-
Yeah gonna go ahead and veto this. You thought people camped with snipers and shotguns now...?
-
Absolutely not, I love punishing dirty hardscopers with a shotgun.

Edited by RPColten: 10/24/2016 5:07:47 AMIt already is relevant. Is it the best thing ever? Not really. But it is relevant because if I want to be able to have Knucklehead-Radar and it's benefits (Mine has some pretty good perk rolls + Strength/Discipline stack) I can use it and another Artifact that I enjoy such as Memory of Felwinter or Radegast (My favourites). Does Memory of Gheleon do Knucklehead's job better? Absolutely. In every way possible. ...but what if I really like using Memory of Radegast more but I still like persistent Third-Eye? Knucklehead-Radar. Could it do with a rework/tweeking to give it a little more 'pop'? Probably.

Edited by DehCanadianJedi: 10/24/2016 8:47:20 AMI had an idea for a buff for it in a post I made earlier today. [quote]-Knucklehead radar grants enhanced radar as well as third eye for primaries. Enemies that damage you are marked on radar and given a visual indication. (Similar to keen scouts "hunted", though not visible to enemies.)[/quote] It would retain the same functionality while being a slightly better defense exotic.
-
Or Radar with all weapons in ADS
-
Well, someone could wear a different artifact with knucklehead. It's relevant but, it's never really been that great.
-
I never understood why they made the distinction. We had Third Eye on Snipers in House of Wolves. It hardly got any recognition. I just never understood what the big worry was. "The Hardscoper knows I'm coming!" If they use the descope tactic, odds are they'll see you coming anyways. All this does is shave some time off their reaction in this kind of specific flank scenario. It's hardly any different from running Quickdraw or Snapshot. It's just more niched to Hardscope Gank situations. If anything I find that more balanced than just faster handling as a passive ability.
-
knuclehead relevant good one made me haha
-
i like your idea here. gives it purpose, cause its not a half bad looking exotic in my mind
-
I personally feel it would be fine to just give keen scout unlocked on all classes. Would be nice to be able to truly max out the agility on a speed build of blade dancer.

2 RepliesEnhanced shadow jack + faster cloak time when using stalker.

18 RepliesI would actually suggest that it just becomes Radar is active at all time when ADS with any weapon. Cuz I mean... Heavy ammo doesn't really last that long anyway for Hunters in PvP and It'd be nice to see the Shanks/exploder thrall/Knights coming up on my left while I'm blasting away at an Ultra. And people who're saying that it shouldn't be for snipers... why are you trying to unbalance something? If it is for specials, then it is for [i]all specials[/i]. You can't just pick and choose. Because I guarantee who would be using more than snipers... MOTHER -blam!-ING SHOTGUNNERS. HOLY -blam!- THAT WOULD BE BAD. So shut your mouths about hard scopers. They'd be the least of your problems. Also imagine how great that would be for like PvE activities. It would be amazing to be able to see what's going on all the time with any weapon. Then you could even pair it with Gheleon if you're not running Keen Scout and it would be useful.

Radar should activate when ADS all weapons and grant improved radar (kinda like relentless tracker)
-
How about, no.
-
All specials and primaries would be great. Everything but snipers < would be excellent. So no hardscope lane campers

Yea I agree
