I see a ton of nerf defenders trot out some variant of “hit your crits”, “whisper has infinite ammo”, et cetera. It is deceptive and only shows the lack of experience of those who say it. If you just use Whisper for boss DPS (and you hit crits), then you won’t feel the ammo reduction. If, however, you use this exotic sniper rifle to, you know, snipe (enemy here, enemy there, whoops out of enemies, no whitenail for you), then this reduction in reserves is a MASSIVE change. Scourge of the Past is a good example. A lot of people run Whisper and use it to take out the generators and the odd sniper here and there. Very, very, rarely can you get whitenail to proc doing this. With 9 rounds only, it’s possible to hit every crit, and yet have no ammo for boss DPS. Note this post is intended to rebut the “it has infinite ammo” chestnut. It is not about load outs or other strategies.
