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.

As soon as bungie returns my 100 motes of light i spent to get snapshot and final round together sure they can nerf it. Until then, fear me n00bs
-
Haha! That's awesome
-
The weapon isn't OP. Final round, however, is GAMEBREAKING
-
Definitely is op. The ppl who say its balanced havent seen a good player or team using it. I only ever take mine out if the other team is using it. Plus it gets u used to taking body shots rather than getting headshots
-
last round perk should be nerfed in pvp yes!
-
It is a little ridiculous that the AP rounds can go through pretty much anything with no deflection or damage loss. That coupled with final round is a deadly combo. It's not a problem with the Spear, though. It's a problem with the perks available to all legendary sniper rifles.
-
I think final round should be removed in pvp. Armor piercing is ok.
-
Keyword...."SPEAR"...think of Leonidas' go-to weapon
-
You make me regret not playing iron banner this past time. I would probably agree that it is overpowered if it weren't for the potency of shotguns and fusion rifles

Edited by Roughneck: 1/25/2015 7:14:17 AMWow! Just wow! You PvPers are brutal. Saw people posting about "the best roll" for this rifle the past couple weeks, thought to myself "must be something special about it," and as soon as I said those words I immediately knew a nerf baby would pop up crying about it. Bungie, don't you think it's time you just make PvP a single class free for all knife only fight? [spoiler]I like the song though[/spoiler]

Got a headshot through a wall earlier. I was surprised. Good time haha fun I had. I like mine.
-
I've got it maxed with Firefly . Armour Piercing Rounds and Bonus Damage. It's fuking LETHAL
-
I got 2. Dismantle both. Not a sniper guy.
-
It is op. I was in PvP the other day and this dude was just one shotting everything.. And I was confused.. Then I noticed from my ghost that he shot two shots right after he kills someone and then uses the final round for a one hit... Smart but kinda noobish
-
Nice montage, perfect perk roll
-
Sick clips
-
Armor piecing only works on snipers. Otherwise it's almost pointless. LDR is amazing because of this and it let's you change you play style quite a bit
-
I prefer field scout but I also use it for pve.
-
Final Round is what's OP.
-
-blam!- off, only so many have that thing
-
Nice shooting.
-
I see nothing wrong with this video, both perks do what they say they do. you wanna nerf something NERF the amount of special ammo you can get in a pvp game, problem solved, as well as all the people that bitch that shotguns are op and fusion rifles are op. SOLVES them all issue resolved. NEXT
-
got 2, love em. You sir are a buzzkill, always trying take away my toys
-
Take a drink every time he shoots through something!
-
Got 2 spears with Armor Piercing and Final Round, and a 3rd with AP and something else.. Best gun evaaa
