Just read the notes on the upcoming weapon patches, and I am very excited for the coming changes to the Fabian Strategy.
Myself and every Titan I know was in agreement that the weapon was nothing but a massive disappointment in its current state. That the Front Lines perk needed to be buffed or redesigned. And my voice was just one of many pleading for the weapon to be reworked so that we could actually use it.
I am very excited to pick back up the Fabian and try it out. I will say that the Rifled Barrel sounds pretty pointless, but the rest of it is just perfect: a welcome boost to stability, a noticeably improved Front Lines perk, flared magwell, and a cosmetic change to boot. I can't wait to hear the modified report of the weapon while the new and improved Front Lines is active.
Seriously Bungie, thank you for fixing the Fabian. I know that [i]technically[/i] it wasn't really broken, but the perk was so insignificant that it might as well have been. It is encouraging to see our feedback being heard and responded to. There are still a lot of issues, and a lot of room for improvement, but this is one issue that I am very glad to see addressed!
Thanks again!

The exotic perk is technically not really an exotic perk. They just changed the archetype. If they left the impact the same or even just a little lower than the original, it would be exotic. As of right now, the gun is still pretty good, but not at an exotic level. Jusg buff the impact when front lines activates. That's all the gun needs.
