The Last Word precision damage glitch?
[url=http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=6&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CEQQtwIwBQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DdW8NJ-DVnE8&ei=vCssVPLANoa9yQTj1IGICw&usg=AFQjCNGwkYB3dE9CoL7xE2Wj3IyHzrzVFw&bvm=bv.76477589,d.aWw]video[/url]
So, last week I did the nightfall with some friends and receive The Last Word as a drop at the end of the strike. I now have her leveled up to the first ascendant energy damage increase slot, so I'm no newcomer to the gun. There appears to be an issue with registering precision damage when shooting from the hip (which is the entire point of half this gun's upgrades). At first I figured it was just me sucking at aiming, but seeing as I can pop heads like a pro in ADS I began wondering. I did some experiments similar to those of the video, and found I can't even get precision headshots on those big-headed accolytes from 10 feet away. I'd even swear that I got more hipfire headshots before the "last word" upgrade. It's obvious enough that I never hipfire now if I can avoid it. If it is really just this inaccurate then they really gave it a garbage perk for a legendary.
This gun is still a beast in pvp and holds its own in pve, but I think there's definitely something up here. I'm considering putting my time into thorn since they will actually be fixing that one, who knows if this will get recognized/fixed.

Did bungie ever address this issue? It still seems to be extremely inaccurate with the last word perk, when fired from the hip, which seems to be the opposite of the expected behavior.

I'm getting issues with it where even aiming directly at an enemy's weak point doesn't net a precision hit. I can chain precision shots together with the Devil you know easily, but I just can't seem to land them even at close range with TLW. I think hit detection on it is bugged.

The gun isn't made for hip fire criticals. It's one of those exotics that I always say is over hyped because everything that makes it exotic is situational. This gun isn't ment to run around at long distances hip firing but more used like a regular hand cannon and when enemies get close you then unload. Get your minds out of the gutter on the last part I know there's a bunch of freaks on these forums.

I'm getting this same problem, on top of the fact that when firing from the hip the gun does increased damage overall, and loses damage when aiming down the sight. The Last Word perk is worded as if it should do more damage and have better stability out right, NOT just firing from the hip.
