I took the time to Masterwork my Dear friend after neglecting her for years. I was very disappointed to see only a marginal gain of stability for all that work. Do you know how hard it is to find heavy? 300 critical shots is insane..... For you to then feel like you got nothing in return. The gun should fire like a scout rifle if stability is the route you were going.
The fact that it is a Heavy Sniper Rifle should have a benefit all by itself. It is a heavy weapon, not a special, so by default it uses larger and harder to find ammo. It should have an intrinsic Armor Pierce upgrade. A boosted Magazine, and the ability to self-reload would make me not feel like I am wasting a good slot for something with more versatility.
(Some people have suggested some really good ideas here, consider reading them and add a few of your own.)

3 Replies in this Sub-ThreadDoes anybody know why Darci is in the heavy slot, and useless? It's was never meant to be a choice of weapon. It's is a tool to measure the range/damage falloff of weapons by yourself(energy and kinetic, can't measure energy if it in that slot). I want Darci to be useful, it is less than likely that it will happen.

I imagine DARCI is in Heavy because when the decision was made to move Snipers, Fusions and Shotguns out of the Heavy slot (where they were from the launch of D2 until roughly mid 2018) and changed to Special ammo weapons, the devs likely viewed DARCI’s inherent damage buff to precision damage as far outclassing any Special ammo Sniper options.

Exactly right. It is a reminder of some of the original terrible decisions that were made at launch.... I say we only need one gun for that.... Whisper. D.A.R.C.I.'s damage buff only really affects heavy enemies, it is worthless in Crucible, so I am still in awe that it remained in the heavy slot. Since it is, I am hoping we can make the best of a bad situation.
