You do know I’m talking about pve right? And I don’t disagree with them buffing all linear fusion rifles, and the queenbreaker wasn’t op in D1 even though it was in the special slot, it only needed a buff for pve, and whisper of the worm is a power weapon same with the queenbreaker, that’s why i’m Comparing both of them together, the only real reason i can see them making the queenbreaker into a heavy is because of pvp, and remember what happened when they made every special weapon from D1 into a power weapon on d2? And nobody likes nerfs to there favorite weapons.

If you’re going to continue sending exactly the same message over and over, making blunt statements with no real explanation of what the issue is but saying there definitely is one, then there is no discussion here. There cannot be one; simply because you want your view to be seen, but you won’t see the bigger picture. As the queenbreaker is perfectly effective and useful to the extent it should be, I doubt Bungie will do a thing.

Have you ever seen a single person use it on pve content? In D1 it was perfectly fine, it just needed a buff to damage for pve, but by making it into a power weapon they made it useless for pve and OP for gambit, by making it an energy weapon they get an excuse to nerf it like reducing bullet magnetism and maybe giving it damage fall off at long ranges, this will make it balanced for pvp and and gambit, and also make it a good counter to luna’s Howl, not forgotten and shotguns without nerfing them. Hopefully this clears things. And just so you know I’m not trying to attack you or make fun of you, i’m just Saying solutions to make it useable for pve and not broken for pvp.

Your solutions will lower the weapon’s effectiveness - both in PVP and PVE. I don’t think you understand that, despite countless people pointing it out to you. Correct I don’t see the Queenbreaker being used in PVE often - but then I also don’t see the Whisper being used in PVE either. With the exception of the Sleeper Simulant, I see almost no LFRs being used in PVE. That’s not down to damage, efficiency, anything like that: it’s down to the type of weapon. Why would I use a weapon that takes out one enemy, slowly, when I could use a machine gun or rocket launcher instead? It’s a shame the Queenbreaker is not an all-around exotic. But face facts: it isn’t, and that won’t change due to the nature of it. Making it more common and less effective will have the opposite effect to what you want. I’m willing to literally put money on that. But to have the effect you DO want, we’d be doing the worst possible thing in any FPS game: Creating a weapon that was so unbalanced and ferocious that even shotguns couldn’t be a worse disease anymore. Simply due to the way things are, and also just because there’s be no point, the Queenbreaker is genuinely better off where it is. Not only for itself, but for the community as well. FYI: I wasn’t taking your comments as a personal attack. I appreciate your effort to make that clear, but it’s fine. The issue was that you were essentially just repeating the same unexplained, blunt points over, and over again.

Sleeper is a linear fusion rifle that is used a lot in boss dps, same with whisper, but normal linear fusion are shit in pve, the queenbreaker was fine in D1 so why did they make it a power weapon? And due to that it is ruining gambit, and the reason why sleeper is better is because it does more damage than queenbreaker, which makes queenbreaker useless, maybe they could give queenbreaker a perk like getting a headshot does blinding aoe damage to nearby enemies, and it doesn’t have to be a lot, for example it take 50% of health of guardians in crucible and gambit but one shots trash mobs in pve. and how about it takes 1 headshot to kill mini bosses? changes like this will actually benefit it, since normal fusion rifles already one shot mini bosses, and linear fusion rifles should reward you for getting a headshot. But in my opinion they shouldn’t have created legendary linear fusion rifles because no one will use those in the place of sleeper. Btw I edited my post so it makes more sense so go read that again if you want to know my points a bit clearer.

I think you’re missing a detail. D2’s damage system doesn’t work the way in which it would have to for your proposed performance-changes to be made. D2 uses hidden values on the weapon, represented by the information set out in its stats, that then work with your power level (in some way) to determine how the weapon performs. They can’t just ‘make it do this’. You increase a value for PVE, and you increase it for PVP. This is why the Queenbreaker is fine as it is. Just like some other weapons in D2, it’s stats are lined up purely for PVP, which is why we see it doing well in PVP sand not so well in PVE. We don’t need another sleeper Simulant. Continuing with the last part of what I just said, let me tackle what I think you might say to it: there are some weapons (Sleeper, Blast Furnace, Hammerhead, The Last Word, One Thousand voices to suggest a few) with stat and perk combinations that make them absolute monsters in PVP and also excellent PVE weapons. Most of my examples were power weapons - but that’s the point. They’re there to make them get used less so that the crucible is not an endless field of one-hit kills. This is also why the Queenbreaker is a power weapon. It’s a PVP dominator, but in PVE it simply doesn’t work. That’s not an issue, it’s how it was meant to be.
