All you noobs saying crimson exist, just stop. Red death is the same archetype as no time to explain, this means it has the potential to get 2 burst kills. Thats already better than crimson, red death has high caliber rounds and even unflinching! This already makes it better than crimson, red death has far more range than crimson too even though crimson has basically maxed out range with its catalyst. This is what needs to happen, bungie needs to return red death and simply overhaul crimson to something else. No one uses crimson, Not in pve or even pvp. The extremely few strawberries that main crimson I bet money will drop crimson if red death came back. Crimson can be something else, it could maybe regen ability energy instead of health.

Its a weapon not a warlock exotic, bungie won't make the same thing twice.

Crimson is a stronger Red Death. If you completely change Red Death then we kinda have another Hawkmoon situation.

But why? You have crimson, that is basically what red death was. If they rework it, "its not red death anymore". If they dont, it becomes useless because we already have that gun, just in a different archetype.

*nothing manacles

Red Death is still 100% canon and exists in the lore (as confirmed by MIDA Multi-Tool's lore card), so Bungie could easily bring it back with a total rework as they did for Hawkmoon.
