I got this gun as a random drop this week, and I was going to throw it away... but I noticed Bungie did something different with it.
The weapon now has slightly higher impact and lower fire rate; it's now more in line with auto-rifles like the Shingen-E or Up For Anything, which I remember being pretty popular in the Crucible before the auto-rifle nerf.
I'm gonna re-roll this thing to try and get Rangefinder; but I'm still hoping they'll buff auto-rifles soon so I can get the most out of this gun. That last nerf in Patch 1.1.1 was taking it too far.

Edited by Afawafa: 6/9/2015 10:22:47 AMIs nobody gonna mention the fact that it starts with like 90 stability without any perks unlocked? That's really a ridiculously high amount. No other legendary comes close to having such a high base value in any stat. And it's not like it has absolutely shitty range, magazine size or reload either. In fact, 40 magazine size is fantastic for its archetype while range and reload are no less than average.
