The Hammerhead has become destiny 2's Galijhorn, unintentionally stronger than it should be and completely overused. When playing gambit, gambit prime, or crucible, the Hammerhead has killed me more than any other weapon by a significant margine. Out of all the weapons in D2, one weapon should not outshine the rest, which was the reasoning behind nerfing the Galijhorn originally. When looking for people to squad up in crucible or gambit, the first message I get is "You got the Hammerhead?"
I'd recommend a 10% firerate drop and a small damage cut. Nothing too huge, but enough to make it not "the only gun in pvp."

Hammerhead is kinda useless really... Xenophage, truth or sleeper are better for gambit... Hammerhead isn’t even good for DPS... If someone says “must have hammerhead”, then clearly they don’t know how the meta works... Even avalanche is better... like a lot better... Thunder lord is better too... Tractor cannon, colony, any rocket launcher or any sword are all better for crucible...
