So Drew here broke the gun down... and explained what it does.
TL;DWTV
1. The Release the Wolves perk used to require a kill to activate.
2. The perk made it so the headshots did 59 damage instead of 55... and 49 instead of 39 body shot damage.
3. They forgot to change that in PvP when they made Release the Wolves active on Reload Hold.
4. The gun at base with Release the Wolves and without kills at 16 meters with either two bursts or one burst of RtW.
5. The only way you can consistently kill at 20+ meters is with a Luna Rift and good aim... or Mouse and Keyboard.
6. Is it broken and Over Powered? Yes... for the fact that it still has that damage increase- which is why it allows you to kill supers with ease.
7. Bungie will need to rework how this perk works again- or the gun as a whole. If they want to keep the way the perk works... they'll have to rework the damage values and range of the weapon. Or go back to the drawing board of the gun.
Bungie is full aware of the issue.

EDIT: I've already seen t-bagging and hatemail thrown my way for using the gun in matches. I'm sure many others have as well. Honestly, it's fun, I love being bagged and hatemail- means I'm doing something right. It'll get nerfed- like the Laser Tag week. But we have so many things that are OP in PvP... oh well.
Release the Wolves into the faces of supers!

You’re no different than a hitscan Erintile main or a Le monarque bow user in my book and you deserves to get bagged repeatedly. It’s definitely a cheap Scrublord Weapon. I’ll just leave this here.... [url=https://youtu.be/ohb4cYP-wQg]Dad Of Wolves[/url]

I love bungie’s responses to these things like a fix would be hard to do. “The team is looking at it” like what is there to look at? It’s obvious why the weapon is broken powerful and everyone knows why so just tone it down.

You said it ! It’s not a console problem it’s the no recoil pc easy mode .

[/quote] So, you realise that the gun is broken. You know exactly how it is overpowered, and admit that it is broken. Your entire post illustrates how the gun is "doing it wrong." Yet, getting teabagged is a sign that you are doing something right? I know this whole "getting hatemail and teabagging means you are doing it right" thing is the standard wording, but it doesn't fit your narrative at all. You just come off as trying to be an edgelord who doesn't even know what they are saying. On top of that, you are knowingly exploiting a broken mechanic.
