I'm going to start off by saying the only way you are able to kill somebody in PvP with this gun is to hit all headshots, or shoot a player with less than 50 percent help, the glass half full perk does not help in anyway, even in PvE. The kill time is so long on this weapon compared to other rares or even common weapons. I would always find myself getting the drop on me whaling them with bullets and they would always have time to turn around and kill me like nothing happened. Now PvE its the same story, It's not entirely useful on Praetorians or any other enemy with a yellow health bar. The low impact of this weapon won't stagger anybody and it only is suitable for draining shields. I suggest a buff of impact, that way if you think the damage is fine it would at least stagger the weapon more frequently or 2 more damage per shot.

As the thread owner posted (and I fully agree with the person) about the damage of this rifle. In my opinion it does sub-par DPS and the only way to kill [b]ANYONE[/b] in PvP is headshots and headshots only! Also anyone in this thread that said they had no problem doing the Thorn Bounty you either had help, used another weapon other than Atheon's, and/or got kills after someone weakened your opponent. [b]The DPS on the Atheon's is 11-13, 14 when getting headshots (this is when it's fully upgraded) but I'm sure everyone knows that.[/b] So, yeah, Atheon's is only good in situations not in the Crucible but I still stand by my opinion to buff the Atheon's.
