Edit: Top trending, hurray, but seriously, this the dumbest nerf bungie has EVER done and that’s saying something. The IKELOS smg is not even thought of when thinking of top smgs for PvP, and since Warmind cells got nerfed, everyone stopped using it in pve.
So what was the logic here? That its stats were a little inflated? GOOD. It was the ONLY aggressive frame smg that was worth using BECAUSE of that.
Not to mention its WAAAAAY harder to get a good roll on one since its part of the random loot pool, while multimach is an IB weapon and Shayuras is in the trials pool and has TWO variants.
Oh and Bungie? The low zoom on the IKELOS was one of its BEST FEATURES. The fact that you think that’s a bad thing just proves to me that you had no clue what you were thinking with this nerf.
Thanks for top trending, rant over.
Edit2: I guess I wasn’t clear enough, but this is a mainly PvP focused post about Ikelos.
Edit3: multiple people are saying the buff to zoom will offset the nerfs, I didn’t realize zoom increased stability and handling.

2 RepliesI'm more concerned about the 540 pulse nerf. Like you say, the ikelos SMG is pretty useless or easily replaced. I finally feel like 540 pulses have a decent place in PvE endgame (with the right roll), and now they start crying for a pvp nerf. They are outmatched in pvp by 720 autos already... Not to mention every exotic and 340 pulses. It's just Dmg floating a personal pvp agenda, like always. Notice every time they nerf a shotgun's range they create a new archetype that reaches that outlier range(Matador). I.e. we are nerfing 65 rpm range... Now go to the dungeon and get a buttload of this 70 rpm!
