Just got it from nf 2 days ago and have been using it ever since. This gun just isnt worth using as it sits now. Black spindle out classes it in every single way. The ammo regen takes too long to proc (7 seconds?), and it's damage is subpar at best. I'm not entirely certain what can be done to make it better again, but as of right now ghorn, sleeper, and black spindle are FAR better options in pve activities.

48 seconds for 6 bullets In y1 was 30 I use it for the sound

Why was it so popular yr 1? Ammo regen. Why was that so important? Raid and Nighfall cheese spots. What did Bungie remove? Those very cheese spots in the NF and the two raids it was good in are defunct. Its really the same weapon with slower regen, thanks Crucible. The real difference is what it was good for is now no longer really needed.

It literally has infinite ammo. What more do you want from it!

Same as everything, pvp has killed it. If it wasn't for whining trials players it wouldn't have been touched.

You're probably right. I personally enjoy the weapon. It was the "go to" sniper in VoG for those damn oracles. But quite a bit has changed from yr1 to yr3 so it's hard to imagine the IB would still be a consistent contender for all PVE activities. It still hits like a damn truck however.

What the hell did you expect?
