Hope you enjoy :) I finally got the Elgato so put up 1080p video, and just upgraded to a new PC!
The Year 2 version of this Exotic Helm provides a 30% boost to the Golden Gun's Duration, bringing it up to 15.60 seconds. This ALONE is enough to merit an exotic slot. The Zoom Multiplier is just an added bonus.
Btw, Zoom, in general, increases range. All weapons can increase their damage down-range with extra zoom multipliers, including the Golden Gun Super w/the Arachnid. If you play on the giant maps like I do, ppl can survive your GG Shots, and from crazy ranges, it's pretty easy to miss. This video has a few clips on the MASSIVE maps to show how much fun it is to snipe with this Helm.
The Achlyophage Symbiote proved how important duration was. ~8.4 second duration on the Golden Gun, it's significantly harder to time your Super for consistent performance. This has been reversed in the April Update, which will bring it back up into the Top Tier. (Just found this out, will add annotation to the video)

Thanks for this PSA. I completely ignored the Y2 version of this helmet because of how bad the Y1 version was. Definitely will have to give this one a shot.
