Efrideet's Spear is Overpowered
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.

10 RepliesI have Efrideet's Spear…I got it two Iron Banners ago when Saladin was selling it I think at level 4. I re-rolled it and on the first try got Double Down (which means it can spawn with additional ammo - i can start a PvP match with 26 rounds…lol) my perk tree came with +2 agility - field mag - ricochet. I mainly use field mag because I'm a sniping purist at heart. I want head shots. Plus with Double Down and Field Mag together I can start a game with 36 rounds 6 in the mag 30 in reserve and if I can get to my sniper spot for each match first and I'm already fully loaded…it's on. Oh yeah, I can drop field mag slap on the agility and rock the Final Round Perk…but with Field Mag and Final Round this gun is a beast in PvE as well as I can thump a target 5 times then unload a massive damage shot for the 6th round. With the Impact on this gun if you pause 2 seconds between head shots on bosses each head shot will completely stagger the Boss making him a sitting duck for the next two seconds with a well timed full clip you can stagger a boss for 10 to 12 seconds while doing critical damage and giving your fire team time to unload on them as well. As far as the gun being overpowered…i say FINALLY a sniper rifle worthy of being what it should be…a weapon of intimidation. If people in a game figure out where I'm at and what lanes I'm targeting…and they come down them once or twice and afterwards are like screw that. They try to figure out a way to flank or take me out…lol…that's when you know you and your rifle are effective. That's the chess game. Can you get to me and if you do did I fire 5 shots or 6 shots…because that Final Round may still be in the chamber and you may be a One Hit Wonder!
