Ever since release my go to PvP Sniper Rifle has been Hieracon-LR5 with Armor Piercing Rounds. 5 shots, goes through walls and has a high RoF. Easy 2HKO body shot at medium range. Appearently, some Sniper Rifles fire faster than Hieracon/Final Boss/Praedyth's Revenge. These have 37 RoF and 9 Impact. Appearently there are models with 40 RoF/6 Impact ([url=http://www.destinydb.com/items/4188894836-prudence-ii]Prudence II[/url] & [url=http://www.destinydb.com/items/2414978080-pompeii-lr5]Pompeii-LR5[/url]) and 43 RoF/3 Impact ([url=http://www.destinydb.com/items/2414978087-saigon-lr5]Saigon-LR5[/url] & [url=http://www.destinydb.com/items/1743212426-bronzed-albany-lr4]Bronzed Albany-LR4[/url]). I see that Prudence II can be obtained as a random reward for levelling up New Monarchy. However, I've obtained a lot of Rare Sniper Rifles and never seen a Saiga-LR5 or Pompeii-LR5... maybe they're only obtainable with one of the expansions? The only 43 RoF one left would be Albany-LR4, which I've never heard of before.
Anyone have any of these? I know Prudence is obtainable. How much faster do they fire than the common high RoF Sniper Rifles, like Final Boss? The Rare Saigon-LR5 looks amazing. 5 round magazine and higher Stability than the Legendary Albany-LR4 (which only holds 4 rounds), would seem common enough at Rare to get a good perk combination. I want Prudence but the odds of getting one for levelling New Monarchy is probably tiny... better hope the Cryptarch delivers on a random Legendary Special Weapon engram.
Why. Why must there be all these weapons in the database I won't obtain? ;_;
EDIT: I got a Hieracon-LR3 with a 40 RoF stat but obviously it sucks due to the lack of perks and stats.
EDIT 2: Finally got a Prudence II. Sadly it lacks Perfect Balance or an Ambush sight so the zoom is high and the recoil sucks. It seems to fire roughly 15% faster than my Hieracon-LR5, Final Boss, etcetera.

I got Prudence from an engram, and its a -blam!-ing beast. Im no PvP sniper but, now I can pick up 17 kills per game easy with this gun. Its RoF is insane and its stability is amazing. I just got it, and now its my go to sniper. I think this is the best sniper in the game. I even find it better than my Ice breaker.

Did you ever manage to find a Saigon-LR5? I am trying to figure out whether or not it is still obtainable
-
You're better off just trying to get praedyth's revenge, it's the best legendary sniper available IMO.

I know this is an older post, but I just got my Prudence II last night from Nightfall. I'm really looking forward to using it because of the HoF. I got great rolls with it too... Ambush sight Spray and Play AP rounds High caliber rounds Clown Cartridge Ambush, with spray and play and clown cartridge, should work really well together. Reload is going to be blazing fast. Not complaining, but explosive rounds would have been really fun for PvP too!

I'll stick with my preadyths, maxed stability is nice.
