Before the exotic patch you could get this very satisfying 2 shot kill. I love this gun but found it a bit weak because of low range and stability making it very easy to miss those two shots = dead in pvp. Because of this I went back to the strangers rifle and did better.
I was then happy to see that Red Death was supposed to get a buff. However my disappointment was huge when i realized that the gun now is even weaker then beforehand. This is a horrible failed buff.
My suggestion is bring back the old power 2 shot crit kill in pvp. Make the fire rate slightly higher, but not as fast as now. Give it some more stability and MUCH longer range. This weapon does not feel exotic anymore. Three little words are more useful!

It was never weak beforehand. Sure there's a difference in damage now, but it's minimal. I agree the firing rate change was unnecessary, but making it shoot faster only made it better. As for stability and range, I think both of those are just fine. It is meant for midrange combat after all.
