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.

Vex got the love it deserved and it probably will end up being nerfed by popular demand. The only issue I have with it is the rate of fire, as I can't really wrap my head around why it has a high range stat vs comparable Autos, good Stability, the same damage profile but also just shoots faster. Power fantasy is one thing, but it's a separate issue when it's making a whole archetype worthless just by existing. On the other Exotics, I think Monte Carlo is fine. It's rumoured to be getting a Catalyst soon, so it shouldn't need any wholesale changes. Jade Rabbit, on the other hand, might as well not even have any perks. Zen Moment on a gun with 82 Stability and a trait that encourages you to be inaccurate for no actual benefit. I'm also interested to know what's going on with SUROS Regime, as Bungie included it in their short list of Exotics that they think need improving. Sure, no one is using it, but it's still very good.
