After very minimal effort and only a few story missions and strikes, we manage to get our hands on Murmur; easily one of the best Fusion Rifles in the game, with the ability to swap between damage types... something no other weapon can do.
But after a dozen or so story missions in the base game, all we get is a Rare-quality Pulse Rifle which is only useful in the Crucible. I've had The Stranger's Rifle sitting in my vault for a while now, and I think it's high time it got buffed to Legendary; same perks, but with 331 Attack. That way you can use it more effectively for high-level challenges.
I also think it should get an additional perk; "Vex Disruptor". Basically the same as the Hive Disruptor perk on the Crota's End weapons, only it increases damage against Vex majors & ultras instead of Hive.
One thing they could do is allow you to convert the Stranger's Rifle to Legendary just like you do with Husk of the Pit/Eidolon Ally. Add a Legendary crafting item like this:
[b]Solar Glass[/b]
[i]-A shard taken from a Vex shrine in the Fields of Glass on Mercury, luminous with unknown energies.[/i]
^^^Basically the Stranger's Rifle equivalent of the Embalming Orb you use on Husk of the Pit. You'd be able to grab it from a character in the Tower (probably the Speaker) in exchange for 10 Motes of Light.
What do you think?

If Bungie did this, could they leave the Stranger's Rifle with the Postmaster as a lost item for those people who have already dismantled it?
