I recently acquired the queenbreakers bow after finishing a relatively easy and boring elder cipher. I asked my friends on Xbox and watched many YouTube videos to see which weapon I would choose for my first elder cipher. All of the videos pointed me toward lord of wolves. I decided against the ratings and went with queenbreakers bow. My logic was that any serious crucible or pve I wouldn't use any of the elder cipher weapons probably my gjallarhorn for pve and red death for pvp. So I went with the seemingly most fun weapon to use. Turns out queenbreakers bow is an absolute tank in Crucible and not so bad in pve against first tier enemies. I am an absolutely horrific sniper and I 20 kills with only queenbreakers bow on my first round. I was thinking this is surely beginners luck and tried another round. I absolutely wrecked everyone stringing together kill streaks that horrible crucible players like me dream of. So that got me thinking is this weapon over powered? I know most of you are like "ha this weapon stinks" but have you actually tried it? It is the campers dream with a mag size of 6 with 83 rounds in reserve. The only reliable "sniper" that can hip fire accurately. This will be my new control and clash weapon as well as a joy weapon for pve. Let me know what you think.

I think it is a weapon that rewards skill. That being said, its probably about to be nerfed into oblivion. (The Fusion Nerf's in the 2.0 patch are going to make it useless)
