Does anyone else feel that this weapon needs a buff. Its one of my favourite weapons and is pretty decent but fully upgraded with the hammer forged and its perk that greatly increases range and precision damage, guns such as felwinters lie can kill in crucible over nearly twice the range.
Seriously bungie you create an EXOTIC shotgun that has all these perks for range then it turns out it has terrible range compared to felwinters lie
My suggestion would either be to bring felwinters lie range down a bit so its more in line with other shotguns or to change the crowd control perk on universal remote to shot package. Or maybe just incorporate shot package into the main perk of the weapon.
Let me know if you agree on if im the only one who feels this way.

2 RepliesPersonally I think it is the best vanguard strike weapon in the game right now. If they were going to add anything I would like to see armor piercing added as a hidden perk, base range increased and aggressive ballistics added.

1 ReplyHow about they increase the range of the universal remote, as well as add to its unique perk shot package as well?

1 ReplyI say they increase stats to rival felwinters.

1 Replyincrease base range value and make it fire slug rounds. It would then require the use of the sights to get the best accuracy and it will be unique due to it being the only shotgun with slug rounds. What's not to love?

1 ReplyAccording to the old stuff written about it, it was supposed to have scout rifle range. Probably like a slug shotgun or something.

1 ReplyFelwinter's Lie is perfectly fine where it's at right now. It only has two above average stats. The rest are below average. Universal Remote is a great shotgun, but it's a bad primary. It does need more range and a higher rate of fire for less impact, a larger mag and more reserve ammo.

Completely agree! It needs its range buffed to what it was before 1.1.1
-
Mine is maxed....needs better range tho....use my legendary "the crash" just because it has way better range & 1 extra round

1 ReplyIt needs a range buff to live up to its grimoire description.

1 ReplyNo, it's fine as is. It's meant to be a unique shotgun which relies on precision shots. If it felt more like a normal "secondary" shotgun, we would be back to the days of kids using shotguns the full match. Yes kids can use shotguns then full match when using UR, but at least the UR is not OP and takes some skill to use. Just like NLB. If NLB were a normal "secondary" sniper, it would be full game snipers again as well.

1 ReplyUniversal remote's range could use a slight increase. Not a nerf to the lie. I think the remote has a hidden shot package perk anyways. It's not horrible, just not the best shotgun
-
2 RepliesIt's a primary first, then a shotgun second. If a primary could perform on the same level as a secondary, we wouldn't need secondaries.
-
Faster rate of fire and shot package would help.

Yeah, it's fairly underwhelming. The only real advantage to using it is also it's biggest disadvantage: It's a primary, so ammo is plentiful, but it's a primary, so you lose access to every weapon with utility. And since it's an exotic to boot, limiting access to your other exotics, it's just not worth it. IMO, all shotguns should get a much less dramatic damage fall off, because they're all pathetic beyond short range and have almost zero utility. But Universal Remote for sure deserves another look. All around, it's just super undesirable.

UR needs a little more range.
