I feel like a lot of the problems with this weapon can be summed up with this argument: NLB can only be really bad or really over powered. If it did have a better sight AND no glint AND a quicker reload, it would be op. However, with PVP being the only place this weapon can shine, I think some buffs are necessary for pve. FIRST AND FOREMOST, it needs a damage buff in PVE , and for good reason. It is, first of all, a KINETIC SNIPER. This makes it obsolete and not as viable for PVE as most large enemies have shield that this thing STRUGGLES to take down. the easiest solution is to use another sniper or other weapon with elemental damage. however, even with shields down,it still does very little damage against even a tier 2 enemy. Its slow fire rate neuters the weapon and makes it a joke for waves of enemies, and the fact that it does so little damage in that time is an embarrassment to the term weapon. Sniper glint is an optional fix, but Its more aesthetic. It just bothers me seeing as it doesn't even have a lens. Its exotic perk "The Master" gives more precision damage and a buff for every precision kill, but it doesn't matter. THE RELOAD TIME EATS UP THE BUFF. This basically makes the perk useless. Either shorten the reload time or increase the buff longer, MAKING IT AN ACTUAL EXOTIC PERK. If you want the full rundown on what needs to happen, here it is: EITHER 1. Buff the reload ( and by that I mean get rid of the bolt action animation) OR 2. BUFF THE DAMAGE AND THE EXOTIC PERK'S BUFF TIME ALSO 1. get rid of sniper glint ( or at least make it make sense) 2. PLEASE increase the ammo well (the extra ammo) because it has a low reserve, even for a sniper. This is crucial for pve. and finally, 3. try to decrease the camera shake when hit. in pvp AND pve, this makes you unable to fire under heavy assault. Realize that the weapon is useless in PVE and that these buffs are NEEDED FOR PVE. PVP is not the main focus for these buffs. EDIT* also, another thing to be considered when fixing is that, it could fit into the "Lore". Say " the ancient weapon once recovered and brought back to the tower, has been fixed by the gunsmith. Adjustments have been made, and it is more deadly than ever. Modernized to fit the needs of those guardians lucky enough to own one." Just a thought.
