Alright alright guys. Let me tell you what this is all about here. This may be just me.. But the Dreg's Promise isn't anything special. But hey Bungie, I give you props for this gun I really do. It's so unique and cool. Every time I pop this baby out in Crucible I feel like an utter badass. I get goosebumps when I reload this thing and has a very crisp and satisfying sound to it's bullets. But the main problem with me is this: It doesn't meet my expectations for something that takes some blood sweat and tears too get. Again, a really amazing gun to hold. But with it's low range slow as heck traveling bullets, it's hard to do anything in crucible. I feel like using it in PvE is kind of worthless. Sure it's good for chunking shields quick but why would I do that when I could just equip an arc legendary shotgun and have an exotic in a different slot? I feel like it's just a waste of space to have in my opinion PvE wise. Crucible is where I used this 99.9% of the time. I've had my ups and downs, but I usually find myself getting out damaged quite too much. The thing is never in range enough to compete with snipers/scouts. And when I finally get close to someone it doesn't have enough reaction time to deal with shotguns. I dunno guys. Again, I love this thing and I've had good moments with it. There are points were you can outdamage shotguns and get close enough to snipers. (Maybe because I use Blink to get into people's faces) But I feel like if the Dreg's Promise had some sort of.. Better ability (Because that ricochet shit is pretty worthless) then the thing could be a masterpiece. I don't know what I would have in mind for it. I would even go with the whole, "Aiming down sights increases the range of this weapon greatly" sort of thing. I don't know. I'm just here to ask your guy's opinion on this gun. And if you agree with me, add what you would like to see what abilities the Dreg's Promise would be best for.

I was kinda disappointed I'd rather use the VD sidearm (in PvE) But yeah, wish it had a better perk (for PvP and PvE use)
-
I love this weapon in PvP
-
Agree. A little underwhelming. Needs way more range and I would love tracking rounds. That would make it Exotic.

Edited by spankymebottom: 6/26/2015 12:51:30 AMI like this gun as well, but while holding it i know i'm going to die. I recommend: get rid of three shot burst. Keep sound. Make it more like vestian dynasty rapid pew pew pew's. Maybe add dmg and/or range. More ammo? Something just seems off about it.
-
More range and make bullets actually have tracking like I originally thought it would have
-
It's not that bad I wreck with the dregs promise.... A good load out is a scout rifle with the dregs promise. Lol I think it's my favorite gun in the game due to it's fun factor you just have to know when to whip it out.
-
I think it would be a great gun if they would extend the range. Sidearms should have more range than a shotgun. Other than the range being too short and slow shot travel times it's a great gun. Hopefully they will give it a buff. I worked hard to get it only to be outgunned by legendary weapons. Not a good feeling for all the work it took to get it.

Arent all the elder cipher guns shit
-
Sorry for being a n00b on forehand. The perk on dregs promise reminds me of a mechromancer perk in bl2 has anyone tried to shoot on the ground infront of a target for the ricochet effect? In bl2 thats all u did and that was frikkin op:-)
-
Crap gun that continues the trend of generally poor exotics from TDB onwards.
-
My biggest problem however, is that it useful only as a sidearm. If someone is running dead at me or if behind someone is the only use I see in crucible. I'm just running around right now trying to FORCE it to have better bullet travel time, range, and accuracy. Shoots too wild to replace a shotgun.
-
It's the exact same pistol dregs use... It shouldn't be an exotic, dreg weaponry isn't in the same class as a vandal sniper or captain flak shotgun so idk why BUNGIE decided to put them under the same umbrella
-
Edited by The Lusty Argonian: 6/21/2015 6:34:25 AMI think it should have faster travel time or even none, and better perks. I have never shot at the ground to kill a target and never will. Give me dual wield or a tactical knife and I'm happy
-
I wish it had tracking billets
-
I have this gun and its useless at the moment. get rid of the grave robber perk Add more range to at least be better then shut gun range. Tracking bullets would be nice. And improve bullet travel time.
-
Yeah, it's pretty terrible. I think the biggest no no here is that they made it so the shots take time to travel, but didn't really give anything back to the gun. Shot travel time is a disadvantage, and volatile light 2.0 isn't enough to make up for it.
-
Your title is not true, it gave my friend herpes.
-
Add tracking shots, like the one's that the Dregs actually use?
-
Just got mine yesterday and lord of wolves today ,got all 3 ,and the sidearm is not on par with the other 2. lord of wolves is so op an destroys everything I feel it will get nerfed .my thoughts on "DP" ( lmao) on how it could be kept the same and made better and so much more fun, is to make it the trick shot weapon.why not let them ricochet burst increase damage after like catch that pesky invis hunter around the corner with a nice 2x damage trick shot. I always tried that with skip rounds on light of the abyss. Just thoughts.

Since it says it's a marvel with ten thousand arms, it needs Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands to be effective
-
I run out of ammo for it SO fast!
-
I love that pistol.
