So, I dusted off my old sidearm "Rat King" to mess around with. I remember this being a fun little sidearm.
After some time behind the trigger, I am thinking that this exotic is a little outdated in it's performance and due for an upgrade.
I always liked the idea of this weapon's perks, and the design is awesome. It just needs a little "love" so that it feels like it's worth taking up that exotic slot for a short range weapon with low aim assist.
Sidearms could benefit from a small buff all around, but maybe on top of that, boost the rate of fire on the Rat King up to something like the "Last Hope". [u]491 rpm as opposed to what it's at now (300 rpm).[/u]
Anyways, that's my opinion and request. I like this weapon and would like it to get a little positive attention.
Thanks for reading.

It’s so sad seeing people complain about things they don’t like and bungi won’t do anything:/ (or it takes a couple of moths till the buffs/nerfs come in!)

Rat King is my most used weapon. But if you wanna give it a buff, sure

6 RepliesHonestly seems to have caught a recent Ninja Nerf imo. I use this gun A LOT. I took a break after Forsaken and didn't do Black Armory until about a month in. Before I came back for black armory, Rat King would absolutely f shit up in PvP. It seems to do nothing now. It used to would fn MELT Riven if all 6 had it. We tried it last night.... nope not even close. Had all pieces in place too, melting, empower etc. Seems it got nerfed to me and fairly recently.

3 RepliesIt doesnt really need a buff....it is just that shotguns are too OP for sidearms or SMG's to have a use in PvP. It kills in 4 headshots and the upcomming catalyst will heal you for every kill/reload you make.
-
yea remove the range requirement for the perk to prok so more people use it and make the invisibility last longer seeing as its a reward for getting a kill.

Speaking of animal themed exotics, Lord of Wolves could also use a buff! Ammo runs out real fast, and the thing has basically zero aim assist. -
1 ReplyI wanna try it out in crucible with a full team using it sometime

Saw a video of 6 rat kings in the riven raid, they dropped him in 10 seconds with that well of radiance super placed down. I might get my rat king out for strikes and test this out too. XD

5 RepliesEdited by Disciple4Christ4: 2/16/2019 5:08:29 PMFor any titans who feel like getting hate: Insurmountable Skullfort+ Rat King Invisible shoulder charges. Since invisibility lasts 7-8 seconds, it’s plenty of time for you to scare the crap out of someone and ran them into oblivion. And the best part is, shoulder charging someone doesn’t cancel the invisibility, so you can make a speedy escape as well.

It's really entertaining to use with a partner in crimson days.

4 RepliesI would personally love an interchangeable perk that swaps Rat King’s main perk with something solo players can run with.

I would use all the thank you emotes I have in succession because my kids broke my Mic. edit: I now have rat king. Word to the forums for the help. First and possibly last time I will say it but word to the forums for the help. Way to pull through.

It's not just RK, but sidearms as a whole. They could definitely use some love.

2 RepliesI liked it best in EP. Everyone runs it and you melt through anything. There's your buff.

very much would agree

I’m hoping it’s catalyst drops with jokers wild

4 RepliesCome on, let's get a weapon buff post trending instead of a nerf post, for a change.

Ratking is never going to be that great due to a simple fact that part of its design is it gets better with more players.

I used it a few days ago and had a blast. Honestly sidearms just need an accuracy increase, and maybe a slight range buff. That's a big maybe though. Sidearms shred.
