Red Death Buff!
The Red Death has so much potential, yet it lacks in damage and range. It used to be an amazing weapon all around. Ever since the nerf, I lose a lot of gun fights that I should have won in the crucible, and it isn't even good in PvE either. The exotic perk is amazing... too bad it takes too long for it to activate. With that archetype, one burst should take out most low health enemies, but instead, it takes the same amount as high impact pulse rifles. This weapon is amazing, it is just a shame that nobody uses it because the stats are trash now :/

Nah - all weapons need nerfs, also grenades and melees. Throwing strange coins should be the most dangerous thing!

It needs a slight range and stability bump. It was legitimately OP at one point. Heals you instantly AND reloads instantly? Bungie went a little too hard on it before, but they have to be very careful with buffing this type of weapon in pvp. I used it and loved it, but the perks would carry the day sometimes and not my skill.

Yeah bump

Agreed, I don't even know why a nerf happened. It's a known in lore as a strong weapon in crucible that defeated many guardians but know you be lucky to kill a shank

Edited by PR4X1S: 12/22/2016 3:06:01 PMAgreed Red Death just sits with its new shader gathering dust in my vault. Fondly do I remember welding this in the Crota raid, now it just stares at me forlornly begging to be oiled and used, it needs a buff now to bring this under performing exotic up to date.

10 RepliesActually all exotic weapons should be buffed back up. None of them really are all that exotic anymore.
-
2 RepliesThey should buff the whole archetype. Back to 32 prec damage.
-
2 RepliesDude they already added ornaments. Isn't that enough of a buff? [spoiler]Kappa[/spoiler]
-
It's one of the only pulse rifles with actual damage falloff and it's an exotic...
-
It does not lack damage any more then it a two burst it only take two burst and one bullet to kill then again its very hardto hit heads with it but yes it lacks range

YESSSSSSSSS

1 ReplyThey should just undo the nerf to aggressive balistics, at least on exotic weapons. Red death became thrash, Hawkmoon became even more trash and there's probably some other weapons that were actually somewhat decent when AB wasn't nerfed.
-
Primaries buffed in general
-
I miss it it's sad how it's fallen

-
What will this weapon become........... (Cricket Noise)........No, I'm the only one who understood the Star Wars Rogue One reference.

8 RepliesOr if we changed the archetype back to what it was in year one we could fix it all without changing much. Used to be like spare change and it was perfect
-
It's hilarious that Bungie thinks they can get people to use the crappy exotics again by making ornaments that catch our eyes. Doesn't do anything
-
I was using it today on Drifter. I was on C side shooting through mid at a guy just past the overpass. I was having damage fall off at that range. Not a lot but 28 for a precision instead of 30.
-
3 RepliesRoughly +10 Range and +30 Stability, as well as intrinsic counterbalance would be nice.
-
Actually its still decent in pve activities.

1 ReplyRed Death and Bad JuJu took a big damage hit when they got nerfed. Since then you hardly see them in PVP.
