Added video in edit 3 below further explaining in detail.
It will surely get nerfed now and why? Well:
1- it's just too good for Pvp. It's not like there's another sniper with higher stability or let's you see the radar while camping... I mean "sniping". Usually I "snipe" not too far from a special ammo crate but why run there and back to get most of your ammo when you can just keep "sniping" and just wait twelve years for your next round. O and having guardians explode is way useful. Only other perk that would be somewhat useful is gaining active camo while just standing there.
2- Having unlimited ammo for a boss fight is just god like. There is no other sniper that does that. What would be crazy is if it was a legendary then you could equip Ghallajhorn also. Now that would just be insane.
3- I "earned" my icebreaker damnit. It took me hours to down that level 12 Dreg for it to drop a legendary engram for it to turn into icebreaker by absolutely no luck at all.
In conclusion if they do nerf it then they should..... keep it exactly the same. It's not op and you didn't kill some level 100 dragon solo while getting butt -blam!-ed by a ninja turtle using only a banana to obtain it.
Edit: Yay 100 post. I have separated everyone into two groups. Those who understand my points and those who don't. One of them you don't want to be in >:)
Edit 2: Another 100 post. That makes... umm... Carry the six.... That makes 200 something post! Keep em coming Guardians. I'm learning a lot from most of you >:)
Edit 3: For getting 300 comments I made a video explaining the nerf. http://youtu.be/NhRhci7Czco enjoy >:)

It sucks in pvp with all that recoil. In pve it's a good sniper because of regen, but in terms of wreckage Black Hammer and Efrideet's Spear are the top tier snipers with the highest impact.

1 RespuestaGot it from Atheon first week raid was available you tell me if I earned it or not

3 RespuestasHonestly I just think you're trying too hard to be funny

3 RespuestasYou never "earned" there is no earning in destiny. ITS ALL RNG. Don't get me wrong congrats you got, I've been playing this game since launch day and I've never gotten an Ice Breaker or GHORN.

Point one is pretty off base. My ldr5001 is better for pvp. Holds 24 rounds of ammo so I never run out and it has a short zoom sight. Never use the icebreaker for pvp and I clean up with a sniper

Editado por WeirdTITAN: 1/19/2015 1:44:16 PMShut up meg[spoiler]every exotic is op in its own way (black hammer is better at boss fights I honestly don't see it being nerfed. Anyone with a ammo pack can have unlimited ammo. Regular snipers can get more rounds out faster than ice breaker anyways. U just sound like a kid upset that zur sold something u supposedly "earned".[/spoiler]

1 RespuestaYou could have at least used a maxed 2.0 Icebreaker for the "video". 0/10

Why does nobody see the satire tag? God, they are dumb. Here OP, this is for you. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=i7ThHHOxlck

First they need to buff g'horn so it will be worth a damn. Maybe once it's so overpowered that it brings bosses down in a few rounds, so overpowered everyone says it can't be sold cause it would break the game. So once that happens they can nerf ice breaker. Oh wait. You're right! Nerf IS coming.

What's up with all these posts tagged satire?

4 RespuestasNot even good for pvp,pve bosses it's nice but BH does more damage and its a legendary so no it won't get a nerf

Aaaaaand shadup

1 RespuestaIf RNG is "earning", then does RNG strange coins from engrams mean that I "earned" my IB to?
-
Lol awesome
-
Not going to happen. Its a sniper only a few players have the skill to run around with a sniper rifle as a primary and be effective in pvp. Patience and time allows you to use the radar and also let's you go invisible. P&T is much better for pvp than ice breaker and it hasn't been nerfed. The infinite ammo part has no stance in the argument since you can use any special weapon and you'll have all the ammo you'll ever need in crucible.
-
Every time you die your ammo resets and my friend tried to use it in crucible and he liked it better in pve
-
Ice breaker will not get nerfed
