Rolled with the proper perks, I believe this rifle is a bit game breaking and should be nerfed. Certain perks shouldn't be allowed on sniper rifles (e.g. armor piercing rounds, final round). What do you guys think? I put together a montage of how ridiculous this weapon is.
***Update: I am more so asking for opinions on the perks (final round, armor piercing rounds) and wether you consider them overpowered or not on a sniper rifle. Efrideet's Spear is simply an excellent example of these perks due to the reforging option, small clip size, and massive impact.

Bítch pls my supremacy does the same thing
-
Unflinching, field scout, and firefly. It's my go to legendary sniper
-
This is so freaking great, looks like I found a new perk setup for my snipers
-
I know the capabilities of this sniper because I know several players who use it. It's not so much that Efrideet's Spear (the sniper itself) is overpowered, it's that Final Round makes high impact snipers stronger on a whole new level. Having final round on a high impact sniper is like having a heavy weapon on you at all times.
-
How do you get it
-
So sad that people can't just play a game and have to bitch and complain.
-
Cool video tho
-
I personally love my Efrideet's Spear, i love the stats but i like mostly the perks i got (all ammo based) :)
-
It should be over powered it is a truly rare item in the game. If iron banner isn't selling it you have to get lucky to have it. A lot of the iron banner weapons have great stats (not the auto rifle) and you can reforge them to potentially make them better.

I now regret not grinding Ib.
-
Shut. The. Fück. Up.
-
For the longest time my favorite sniper was the queens. Supremacy with void and field scout. Now the iron banners sniper is in my opinion better than ice breaker or black hammer

Edited by Reptar: 1/26/2015 7:56:30 PMIts not the only one that can shoot through walls, I do it with my supremacy all the time and its hilarious, oh you think you're safe capping b flag behind the wall? Nahhhhh lol Whelp then I watched the video and the one shots to the foot and such where a little ridiculous lol
-
It's overpowered with certain perks yes, you shouldn't be able to shoot through walls and one shot kill people
-
Edited by Kibeth: 1/26/2015 7:37:28 PMBalanced around low ammo both reserve and mag, low ROF, low stability. Oh, and a lvl 8 rare sniper can get the final round perk. P&T, LDR, and Praedyth's are all better for snipers that don't miss their headshots. Admittedly I'm not a great sniper, but I don't think it's OP.
-
Don't have ap but do have final round and spray Nd play. It's really a monster.
-
I have Efrideets with Last Round, ARP and Surplus (wanted Spray and Play but ⅔ was good). Yes it's awesome.
-
You run around abusing the perk pre firing it so you have final round and sit by the ammo boxes, I think all glass half empty and final round perks should be removed because they are highly exploited
-
Mine has field scout and clown mag. I would have kept rolling but I didn't want to lose field scout and run out of motes
-
Not with the small ass clip it has perfectly fine the way it is I get killed by way more icebreakers.
-
Did you know sniper rifles really exist that can shoot through several feet of rock?
-
It's only really good if you can get the right perks on it, till then it's better to use the raid sniper or ldr
-
That is sexy. I re rolled my Efrideets with Unflinching/Armor Pen/Final Round because it didn't have the Ambush scope. Next Iron Banner I will continue my quest. :)
-
Remember kids "The crucible is no place for mercy" This sniper is fine and it doesn't need any unnecessary nerfing.
-
The real problem isn't the sniper itself but the fact the special ammo is so abundant in the crucible. Which allows you to run special weapons as primaries. (further reducing the role of weapons with such said perks such as universal remote.)
