I know a lot of you dearly love your new Word of Crota hand cannon you rightfully earned by killing Crota on Hard, but hear me out. THIS WEAPON IS BROKEN. The Word's unique perk, Phantom Gift (3 rapid head shots return 1 round to mag), is not only a mediocre perk at best but it is also broken by both Hive Disruptor (Increased damage to Majors) and the Explosive a Rounds perk. This a bug that Bungie saw coming due to the White Nail bug and made no effort to fix it preemptively.
I think the best solution would be to scrap the Phantom gift perk completely rather than rework the other 2 perks that break it.
Bump, like, or reply this post if you want your hard-earned handcannon to be the monster it should be.
TL;DR
Word of Crota is broken, let's make Bungie get rid of the broken perk on it that is bad even when it does work.
EDIT: IF YOU DISAGREE, ALL MEANS EXPLAIN WHY YOU BELIEVE SO; I ONLY ASK THAT YOU DO NOT REPLY WITH OVERSIMPLIFIED OR DOWNRIGHT STUPID REBUTTALS.
Edit 2: I'm saying Bungie should remove Phantom Gift and replace it with a fully functional perk.
Edit 3: thanks for the support guys. Hopefully together we can make this weapon better.
[b]Replacement perk idea[/b]
[b]Shrieker Blast[/b]
-[b]precision kills with this weapon activate a mini shrieker death blast that tracks nearby enemies. [/b]
it would function similar to firefly, but would do less damage and have increased range in addition to a brief stagger animation when it connects on nearby enemies.

1 ReplyIs the only place this weapon drops on Crota?

1 ReplyThe shrieked perk would still not work. Because the white damage from hive disruptor and explosive rounds would prevent precision kills. Just like they do with phantom gift. The hive disruptor just need to be reworked and changed to yellow damage when precision shots are landed

This needs to be achieved. That shrieker thing sounds amazing, although theres already the necrochasm thing so it would be kind of uncreative. I'd honestly prefer the shrieker thing but I doubt they'd do that so something a bit more realistic like every third headshot in a row does bonus damage please leave other suggestion and bump this.

1 ReplyThat shrieker idea! But since it isnt out there or anything close to it, something with shriekers is the way to go. So why not like this: Shrieked: Shriekers killed with this weapon wont send out a deathblast.

My crota glitches when you put explosive rounds on I don't get the phantom mag perk
-
Couldn't agree more. Outlaw would make it so much better

1 ReplyHave it maxed out. Sucks balls.

I support the shrieker one. You have a cursed thrall explosion on necrochasm. Why not make the other one a perk?
-
Damn that shrieker perk sounds awesome as -blam!-

11 RepliesWorks fine with Hive Disruptor, not exalted hive, and don't use explosive rounds scrub

Damn did not realize about that bug thats ridiculous :/

Give us the option to change phantom gift for firefly... even though nobody would use phantom gift then
-
3 RepliesThat shrieker perk actually sounds really perfect for a void Handcannon

I agree.

Edited by danicusbra: 1/31/2015 2:21:06 AMShrieker blast Would be too OP IMO sounds like what they shouldve put in the necrochasm. But I think a firefly would be a perfect fit or if they think that's too much, crowd control is amazing. If they really wanted to be cool guys though, they could swap the fast reload for field scout. If this gun just had more ammo, the Phantom gift being *sucky* wouldn't bother me so much..

1 ReplyJust give it rangefinder. The gun's range is it's weakest aspect and rangefinder buffs that without making the gun too good.
-
1 ReplyChange phantom gift with performance bonus perk or return to sender. Thats good enough for me
-
2 RepliesAt least it'll still replace Epilogue for void burn nightfalls /sigh
-
17 Repliesid rather lose phantom gift than hive disrupter that's for sure

1 ReplyLet's change the perk to say, anytime you hit the target, load two bullets into the magazine. Just for kicks

3 RepliesI really thought this would be a replacement for fatebringer. Having said that, I still really want this hand cannon!! Got the about rifle last night, so stoked!!!

I would love to see firefly on this weapon.phantom gift is a waste.
