Just got this from the Nightfall. Looking at the stats and perks it looks like it may be decent. Is it worth keeping equipped over an Exotic Primary or Secondary?

7 RepliesIt's weird. The mag is small to start with, and the stability is pretty low. Increasing the stability makes it easier to hit headshots with, but it also leaves you with a small mag, and lightning rounds isn't very useful if you only have 38 (or whatever it is) rounds in the mag, so it doesn't gain an advantage over an arc swarm. Field Scout pushes it up to 60 and the theoretical DPS gets ridiculously high with lightning rounds up, but the stability suffers and usually forces you to fire in bursts if you actually want to hit something. Add in that enemies rarely stay in one place long enough for you to get lightning rounds to proc fully, and you have a gun that should be awesome but never quite gets an opportunity to shine.

Its mostly a PvP weapon

Edited by K331AN: 12/4/2014 12:21:13 PMIts ok, I used it for a little bit, but, then I purchased Zombie apocalypse and use that over it, (Mostly because it doesn't take up an exotic weapon slot) For 1, its mag is WAAAY too small. Second, its recoil is some of the highest I've seen, your screen shakes around from left to right every shot and you miss your target 'a plenty The only thing going for is its looks, but, I would rather role with Invective or Plan C which looks equally as cool. it has its moments, like tearing through a fallen captains shield in half a second or when I take out a semi-large group with it.

It's mediocre

Shes great!

Use it for arc burn nightfalls/weeklys. Its nice
-
Not worth the exotic slot if you have the mythoclast, Gjallarhorn, or the icebreaker.

It's powerful especially with stability perk

If you don't already have a arc damage heavy machine gun, then yes, keep it and equip it when appropriate (arc burn nightfall/heroic, tough arc shielded foes, etc.) If you already have a good arc damage heavy then only you can decide if Thunderlord is better than what you have. You may want to wait until the expansion before making any decisions. Things could change.

I just got it on the Nightfall as well and have it leveled about 1/3 of the way. I love how fast it will reload!

ThunderDevil does WAY MORE DAMAGE

5 RepliesYou'll want it for a nightfall with arc damage. It can hold up to 300 rounds.
