[b]"No Land Beyond" Exotic Primary Sniper Rifle - Update Ideas [/b] When I got this gun, I was really excited. After using it for a while, I've realized that it is nearly useless. It is a shame, though, because I've fallen in love with the sound, look, and how the gun feels. I find myself going to the Cosmodrome Patrol just to pop some heads off Dregs. This gun needs some updates. [b][u]Here's a list of it's current specs and Talents:[/u] [/b] [b]Specs: [/b] (The ones I will be discussing) -magazine size: 6 (This is fine, and adds a level of skill. It forces you to line up your shots.) -max ammo: 24 (This needs to change. It is much too low, not to mention the bug that lowers it even more.) -fire rate: 19 (ugh) [b]Talents: [/b](Everything but the muzzles and damage increases) -Mulligan: [i]Missing a shot has a chance to return ammo directly to the magazine.[/i] (This is a good concept, but could use some changes.) -Lightweight: [i]When held, this weapon grants +2 character agility.[/i] (I like this perk, because it helps you duck behind cover if you miss that critical shot. This can stay.) -Snapshot: [i]Aiming this weapon is incredibly fast.[/i] (Why is this needed for a sniper? This gun encourages you to take your time with your shots. This is not needed, unless you're quickscoping.) -Flared Magwell: [i]Reload this weapon even faster[/i]. (This does not apply to the bolt-action animation, and the clip reload is already fast, so this is a bit of a gimmick, but doesn't necessarily need to change.) -The Master:[i] Increased precision damage. Kills briefly increase damage against the next target.[/i] (This is on the right track, but also needs to be altered.) [u][b]Here's a list of stats and talents that I believe should be added to improve this gun:[/b] [/u] [b]Specs: [/b] -magazine size: 6 (This is the same) -max ammo: 42 (The increased ammo allows this gun to be useful for more than 5 enemies) -fire rate: 19 (This is the same, but I'll explain why) [b]Talents: [/b] -Mulligan: [i][b]Dealing damage[/b] has a chance to return ammo directly to the magazine.[/i] (The chance for this should be around 5%, but as long as you don't miss, you might get some ammo back. This is much more useful, and makes the gun seem more like an Exotic.) -Lightweight: [i]When held, this weapon grants +2 character agility.[/i] (This is the same) -Take a Knee: [i]Doubles your accuracy while crouched[/i]. (This seems more like a sniper perk than Snapshot.) -Flared Magwell: [i]Reload this weapon even faster[/i]. (This isn't particularly useful, but every gun has its dud.) -The Master: [i]Increased precision damage. Kills briefly [b]increase fire rate[/b].[/i] (This kind of bribes the user to want to take their time and get those precision kills. Whenever an enemy dies, that bolt-action animation is a lot quicker.) This new list of stats, I believe, would make this gun a lot more useful, and less infamous. I based my perks on the idea that you should take your time with your shots, and you'll be rewarded. I hope that any or all of this is implemented in a future patch, and anyone's support can help get these ideas out there. Thank you! All comments are welcome
