So I got one yesterday and have a few questions about it. A friend got it, too and we were like: 'Dayum this looks like some badass pulse rifle!'
Since Red Death is considered to be good in pvp but i can't really kill anything with it I was very surprised how good the Timepiece is (just killed some creeps on earth to get an idea on how it is firing its bursts, recoil etc)
I did not have very much time to test it though and told my friend he should tell me how badass it really is in PvP.
His answer was: 'It isn't!'
The extra headshot damage does not seem to work in pvp (can anyone confirm this?) and its' damage is way to low to play it effectively.
I'd love to use this gun, haven't played it myself yet and due to the server downtime I won't be able to do so today.
So what about those who have it - Maybe even maxed out. Is it an option for pvp? Does the perk work?
Does it need a buff (more impact)?
Because I think pulse rifles just suck at the moment. I'd love to use Bad Juju but in pvp it's just plain garbage and I did not become friends with Red death either. Looks like the most promising gun is gonna suck, too...

I got it last night too. (Actually got 2 from the same drop at the gatekeeper) took it for a test run in PvP and I was shredding people for the 3 matches I played. Averaged 6 bursts for a kill which with the rof is pretty quick, and I'm pretty sure it'd be a 4-5 burst with all crits. Wasn't too impressed with It in PvE but all my primaries are maxed so I may have just forgotten the difference between new and maxed weps. It could definitely use an impact buff, but its far from suffering from a lot. It reminds me of the battle rifle from halo if that's any kind of general comparance. Its definitely a love it or hate it gun. I hated red death just bc of the sluggish rof, if I use a burst gun, I definitely want it to shoot like timepiece.

I like my pulse rifle. Does wonders, dunno why people i never see anyone in-game using pulse rifles. Only see auto rifles, hand cannons, scouts most of the time, aside from the usual shotgunning and fusion rifling dopes.

Bump. Anyone? Please? ^^
