It's better than the Messenger. I have a Messenger in every element and I'm grinding for the Hopscotch

Wut. How can you say it's better than the messenger if you are still grinding for one. I have both and the messenger is just as good if not better. Pointless to grind for hopscotch, you're just gonna have to regrind for weapon parts to get the perfect roll (which will be almost identical to the messenger roll)

The Messenger does not have a perfect roll, by any stretch of the imagination. Third eye is totally pointless, and Headseeker is generally a pretty shitty perk. The damage increase doesn't make up for lost critical damage from the first bullet. It does almost as much as if all three bullets hit the head, but not quite. There are better rolls out there but I'll let you do the research yourself. I don't want to face people in the Crucible with my roll, so I'll keep it to kyself

Haha what you say sounds good on paper, but in practice it fails. 1) third eye is a top tier perk- it lets you hard scope sight lines while watching for a flank. One of the best perks in the game. 2) headseeker is the only perk in the game that provides a damage boost on [u]all[/u] shots, free of user action- no need for kills (crowd control), no need to kill and reload. And it adds enough damage to matter. Without it, you can't two burst a hunter with only two headshots, with it you can. Without it, you can only two burst low armor hunters and warlocks with three headshots- with it you kill everything. 3) you can sit there and argue that you should be going for triple headshots per burst, but you're going to either hit body+head or head+miss. That's why you want headseeker- messengers slight recoil lets you aim at chest and the recoil naturally walks the shots up to two headshots. Two burst kill everytime, and easy. [b][u]Either way, you are going to be shooting two bursts every time, why not go for the easier guaranteed kill??[/u][/b]Try and go for only headshots everytime with hopscotch and max stability and you'll be three bursting most of the time. Trust me, I have both guns. Also, to further prove my point that you're argument is stupid in practice- look at your stats. You clearly aren't triple headshotting per burst.

And since you're the typical destiny forum angry teenager, I'm muting you. You aren't of any value to me, because you're a hostile, closed minded idiot. -blam!- yourself, bitch

You have no idea what you're talking about. You like the messenger because it lets you play like shit. You can sit and stare down your scope and are rewarded for having garbage aim. I am not going to help you out though, so I won't substantiate my viewpoint. I like that you are so ignorant. It's hilarious. Edit: oh, and your stats are shit, pal. You're mediocre and for whatever reason don't even know it. The ignorance is strong in this one.
