Before everyone takes out the torches and pitchforks hear me out. I'm thinking that golden gun should get a buff that makes it better in PVE rather than just PVP. Celestial nighthawk makes the golden gun shot worth it, but the other three shots without any exotics are a bit underwhelming. Golden gun is for single target damage, so it should have more damage per shot, considering it only has 3. In pvp, giving it more damage would cause some problems, since it would allow the gun to be used at a much greater range than before, since damage falloff would take longer to render the golden gun useless. But considering pvp map limitations, rather than pve map limitations, a buff to damage might not be so bad. One problem would be that increasing damage for golden gun shots might make the defender bubble more vulnerable, allowing it to get killed in one shot instead of two. I'm not sure how it would make defender Titans feel, considering their bubble is vulnerable enough to supers. Besides pvp, there are a lot of problems with damage falloff with golden gun in pve rather than pvp. In pvp you could practically snipe someone using the golden gun. But when I pulled the gun out once something different happened. I was in the taniks strike, where you fight the fallen spider tank. I had my back against the door and used a golden gun shot against a sniping vandal on the far side of the area. I used it, but it took less than half of its health. And I know that while a golden gun shot is instantaneous, unlike hammer of sol, golden gun is a single damage weapon, not a multi killer. The subclass should adapt more to pve with its super. Edit: I think the best solution I heard so far is that golden gun should have precision damage. Maybe double the damage on precision shots.This would eliminate 3 problems 1. This would eliminate the problem with the bubble, since it would take the same amount of damage to pop it considering that shots don't do precision damage to bubbles. 2. The super would not change the damage for body shots in pvp 3. Finally, this will indirectly improve damage output on mobs in pve, since it will allow for double the damage, if all golden gun shots hit the head *Then celestial nighthawk would deal 12x damage on precision hits instead of 6x because of the precision damage buff. This would make celestial nighthawk amazing for single damage output on precision kills, allowing you to down hallowed ogres and absolutely destroy bosses with high damage output. (From the feedback received in the thread it seems better that golden gun should just receive precision damage rather than 6 shots with half damage on body shots.) Edit 2: Perk changes that affect golden gun Circle of life perk should be replaced with a transcendence-like perk, where golden gun lasts longer if your melee is charged before using the gun Deadeye should improve accuracy as well as provide a better zoom and target acquisition
