This has been a recurring problem with reissued weapons. This weapon just feels awful with its stat package man needs a little bump in stability at the least.

I agree. I don’t mind Zen Moment being as vital as it is because I like the perk, but a bump to the Recoil Direction or Handling would help. I hate having to choose between something like Arrowhead or Fluted.

Recoil is atrocious

You must not mean in PVP right? At least in Iron Banner (Day 1) this thing is doing work. (try it out..get empirical data) Favorite roll so far > Ext Barrel, Armor Piercing, elemental, zen ..and what I mean is I feel like I can stand toe-to-toe in a duel vs other weapons in crucible.. I don't want to be over-powered just have a solid tool to do work..enact strategies.. in PVP.. it seems solid so far ..lookin at PVE.. I'm thinkin other than (repulsor brace/destabilizing or disruption break).. that maybe headseeker (increase in damage) + KC/Rampage (also increase in damage) may be a sneak pick ..overall happy to give elsie a buddy in the void pulse world -
Same with crimils

Just use the craftable arc rapid fire pulse scalar potential

Guardian, Archon Of LightArchon Priest Of House Light - old
Yeah , it's stats suck I have got some godly rolls, but it hits like a marshmallow There are better pulses in that slot -
Just another gun thats insta shards ...... Oh, wait.

This weapon has been wonders for me so far.

I’m going for Arrowhead/Ricochet/Zen Moment/Headseeker. Zen moment is very strong right now, and it’ll definitely address the lack of stability you speak of. The barrel and mag perks will help too. But overall, I agree - a lot of the reissues are underwhelming. I think Bungie is afraid to make things too strong because they’ll inevitably have to nerf them.

So many weapons when they are reissued, they have their old stat packages. Which are often much lower than contemporary options in the same archetype. I was excited for Claws of the Wolf to come back, but then I saw that there was no update to the stat package, and its outclasses pretty much across the board by most other rapid pulses. Now Im not interested in it at all. Its been power-crept by others in the archetype. Its only saving grace is that its the only void rapid pulse which is farmable.

Agree buffs to pulses are a plus
