Before you say "what's the big deal", just a reminder - unlike those of you who got it in the first day of the season, I may be the shittiest regular player in Crucible, with k/d of 0.3 and w/l that isn't that far.
My aiming skills are stormtrooper-degree, with sniper rifles it's even worse. Unlike Cerridius or CammyCakes, I can't play on lowest mouse sensitivity, because I can't flail my arms the way they do. My comfortable sideways mouse movement is limited to about 15 cm wide area, and it's not because my table is too small. This, plus my eyesight and hand/eye coordination in this game are far from perfect, especially at close range with higher angular velocities.
To highlight how terrible I am - believe it or not, I picked up quest for Revoker and Redrix at the same time, at beginning of this season and I completed 1 Redrix first, and about halfway on two my other characters. Glory grind wasn't the hardest even for defeat-lodge member such as yours truly. Getting kills was.
So, without further ado... I FVCKING LOVE this rifle! Seriously. The only drawback for me - it is kinetic. And thus it competes with Redrix and recently acquired Spare Rations (which isn't that good, to be honest, but I like it anyway, some sort of guilty pleasure or second type of cool, I dunno). Other than that? This gun feels like it is designed for people like me, who can't aim properly, and thus having that reversal of fortune is a blessing for me. Previously I usually missed my shots (or even hit) and had to wait for respawn to get next chance to use sniper rifle (believe it or not, but even after 720 hours in the game, my titan doesn't have sniper scavenger gear, and I got my first only AFTER I got Revoker, while dumping another thousand of Crucible tokens to Shaxx. Speaking of luck. :) Other characters, despite having about 150 hours each have full wardrobe.
But I digress. This Revoker's perk removes pressure other rifles put on me. Same with Last Word quest step (or Chaperone's) that penalized for losing/dying. It's not THAT big of a deal at the end, I mean even I got both (several times), so it is more of a "placebo" pressure. Yet Revoker removes it entirely and allows me to actually enjoy the game. Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying the game just fine, but now I actually have fun being slightly less useless sniper.
The only problem - I have no idea what to pair this weapon with. Even with all my sympathy towards Dreaded Venture or Long Shadow, I usually use energy sniper rifles, this leaving kinetic slot for more familiar weapons.
Bungee, could you please make more weapons accessible like this, please? Because with any existing weapon, be that Recluse or even dreaded Not Forgotten, I'll still be useless me, only with better weapon, that won't change much. Yet getting these pinnacles is proved to be fun. How having more people having fun in entertainment (which videogames are) is bad and why you keep locking people out of getting more items to have fun with - is totally beyond my understanding.

3 commentairesCongratulations on the sniper. It's like one of the only comp guns I ever got so for me i find it amazing to finally own something from pvp. It's no lunas or recluse but I'll take it lol.
-
30 commentairesLiterally NOBODY: Rudy102: “so I got revoker” Not a soul on this planet gives a -blam!-. Literally ANYONE can get the gun lol
-
2 commentairesI use mine in pve if I want a kinetic sniper...I added a backup mod for the extra shot and it’s served me well

Cool, I just got mine too!
-
2 commentairesCongrats! For all the complaints about it, it's still a kinetic capable of one-shotting, with a handy way to preserve ammo against more mobile targets. This and the Tatara are my snipers of choice.
-
2 commentairesi mean this in the most sincere way, If you know you aren't good at crucible, why would you go after a crucible weapon that has 0 viability in PvE?
-
I’m still working on my sniper kills, since I got the recluse, I just realized I have terrible kinetic snipers... so it has to be put away for my beloved Good job btw, the 3500 comp grind can be a daunting task, but you stuck with it 👍

2 commentairesNo wonder you have a 0.3, you literally want to be rewarded for having potato aim 😂
-
Congrats! 😊
-
I never liked the rovoker I honestly took it straight to the vault! The longest possible streak has been the mountaintop omg that one took me ages but finally unlocked it!
-
1 commentairepair with inaugural address or last perdition then you can run Truth an really compete in comp.
-
6 commentairesI think most Crucible pinnacle weapons should be done like Revoker. Revoker has a good perk but by god its hit detection is awful.
-
3 commentairesCongrats bro - keep playing and you will get better. The sole thing that you managed to do it shows that you increased your skill in the process!
-
1 commentaireNice,I too understand the bs of solo comp and the best tip I can give you it to find 1 or 2 people to play with who actively want to improve as a team.
-
5 commentairesCongrats now get mountaintop
-
1 commentaireGood job dude. F all these other people being rude. Just stepping foot in competitive is a task all it's own. I couldn't even get clan mates to go in with me. Before this season started I said I was going to work on the comp weapon this season not knowing they were going to reduce the difficulty down to you just have to put up with the cancer in comp. I agree I like the revoker, if I do use it I usually use my trust with it.

3 commentairesRevoker requires no skill to get. Its just play time

1 commentaireRudy102 You make some valid points and i agree that eververse must be removed from this game but, Whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus Ta'aurc. From what I can gather, he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank just outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold.

1 commentaireIt might already have been mentioned below, but you might enjoy either Last Perdition from Shaxx or Swift Ride XE8375 that drops randomly in forges. Solid energy pulse rifles of the same archetype as Bygones. Very forgiving, and they have a nice feel. Congrats on getting Revoker!
-
6 commentairesI love this post. Good weapons won’t make bad players good but will make great players even better. Let’s set these things up where they are attainable for folks like him and more will play. I have the recluse, mt and Luna’s and I still agree with him :)

1 commentaireIt’s not that hard to get

1 commentaireGood job Rudy! Time to make a Revoker montage?
-
1 commentaireCongrats man. I’m not even going to mess with the quest.

26 commentairesHey man props to you. I just got mine recently as well. I'm not trying to step on your toes here, but I actually really dislike the design of the gun. I think that pinicle weapons should be for people who are already fairly good with that weapon type. Redrix is a great example of this. If you are good with low rof pulse rifles then it is a monster, if not, it won't really help you. I am a decent sniper, so revoker does nothing for me. Plus I have two scavengers so I am rarely out of ammo. Like I said, I'm happy for you. I just wish there was a pinicle sniper that rewarded good play (like perfectionist from d1)
