Currently If Materia is a joke, obviously there will always be some players that swear a certain weapon is amazing and love it and props to them but from a purely objective stance THERE IS NO REASON TO USE IT, sure you can say it's fun but it's a HARD MODE RAID HEAVY MACHINE GUN that gets out DPSd by outbreak prime which is a primary for gods sake, as well as many snipers and absolutely destroyed by sleeper, ghally or swords. (As is outlined in this DPS video by datto(doesdestiny) ->https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjpRPOb3lCY Currently I see a few ways to buff this weapon, three to be exact. 1) Buff the guns stats but keeps it's current arctype. Buffing it's stability and magazine size would allow you to chose either braced frame or extended mag without screwing over the other respective stat(stability or mag size). 2) Change it to the high impact "against all odds" arctype and buff it's stability. This I think would at the very least give it a great niche as there's no other machine guns in that impact type currently. Plus it would be easier to kill adds or use in the crucible with this arctype and high stability. 3) Change the perks themselves so it's triple double in the first node and deadeye in the second, deadeye would increase gun damage by 30 percent for 5 seconds after triggering triple double /OR/ focused fire and ammo absolutionist, which would make body shots increase precision damage for 3 seconds simular to jade rabbit (designed to ideally work best with 1 or 2 body shots then several precision shots). These are just my ideas, I'd love to hear yours.
