Though it is worth noting that's only with the catalyst, and imo, if a weapon needs a catalyst to have it's stats "brought in line", especially in a case like this when the weapon is functionally useless without another weapon no one uses, that's bad design.

it’s not useless without drang, it can be used like any other 120 and better than most lol
-
The issue though is that it only really has good stats. It's 1 exotic perk needs drang and the other exotic perk is just kills reload your enegy weapon. Not worth it when you can get a 2 tap with most 120's now without the need of another weapon like Sturm does.

i see ur point there, maybe bungie will take a pass at it one day 🤷♂️

And how many of those weapons beat it in consistency, range, and/ or don't require you to get a kill while at a disadvantage to get the 1 single bonus damage round? Why would I use Sturm when I have better Igneous Hammers and Crimil's Daggers? Why would I use Sturm when I have a comparable Rose with 79 range and 88 stability? Why use Sturm instead of either of my Palindromes with the same range as Rose give or take and have up to 99 stability? Sturm has 50 or 60 AA, all those other choices have I think 6-35 extra AA. Hell, why would I use Sturm when Not Forgotten (Solemn Remembrance, stasis element) is returning next season? Even that new craftable exotic hand cannon Graviton Spike looks like it'd beat Sturm in basically every way that matters.

You can’t compare sturm with a 140 but even igneous can’t get those stats. Plus the gun feels excellent

Editado por Griever: 6/5/2025 8:14:24 AMNot a whole lot of other 120 hand cannons if any to compare it to in the first 100 or so weapons used in pvp. And considering how Graviton Spike can swap between 120-150rpm, I'd say that's worth counting, especially if it's stats don't change depending on the mode because we'd be looking at a 120 with 85 AA and stats matching viable if not really good 140/ former 150s. A gun might feel nice, but if there's not really any good reason to use it to it's full power/ intended purpose or if you can't really build into it, that's poor design. Hence why I keep saying other weapons like Jade Rabbit should be reworked because, especially when we consider power creep, all some weapons have going for them is stats or a gimmick that heavily limits if not also punishes you for playing into it.
