Since vex was buffed it has become very apparent that exotic primaries can be VERY viable in pve content. What we need is changes to other primaries that equal the buff to vex, especially the ones that see no use at all. Just a small list of primaries that are just not remotely viable and could see some similar buffs:
- wishender
- jade rabbit
- Monte Carlo
- cryosthesia
- Polaris Lance
- SKYBURNERS OATH (x100 please ;_;)
Others not mentioned have utility like risk runner, Cerberus or malfeasance but I feel like adding champion mods could make them even more useful in end game pve.

Edited by Infamous067: 9/7/2021 3:12:27 PMI hear Datto is already complaining about vex, that guy seriously annoys me. Is vex OP? No it really isn’t, players aren’t used to auto rifles being a viable option. Vex is an auto rifle that gets a 20% damage boost for every kill, its basically an auto rifle with rampage and zen moment. Vex has the farthest range of its archetype which is why its so consistent at far ranges. Its a raid exotic for gods sake, let it have its power fantasy. Other exotics in the game need that power fantasy, hard-light needs the no falloff damage back. Monte carlo needs range and recoil buffs, bad juju needs the stacks to end at 3 instead of 5. Outbreak perfected needs some form of unflinching perk because that thing cant handle flinch. Malfeasance should activate its perk at 4 slugs instead of 5. Skyburners needs a massive buff to its hip fire tracking, jade rabbit needs an actual exotic perk because the one it has is garbage. All these exotics and more need massive buffs, vex I feel is actually balanced, I’m able to outplay the vex with my grid skipper or my thorn. Vex is an auto rifle at the end of the day, get yourself a weapon that deals enough flinch or simply learn to strafe with high mobility and the vex ttk goes up drastically. peek shoot with hand cannons is extremely effective, its about time exotics stop getting nerfed and you guys learn to adapt. I will admit when something is straight up busted but vex? Its strong, as it should be.
