Why hasn't Golden Gun been buffed yet?
I'm not talking about extra PVP health (although it would be nice), I'm talking about the base damage of the 3 measly shots you get in PVE.
Datto had a good argument in his balancing video about how it would be overpowered to simply one shot yellow enemies, but at the same time it shouldn't take all 3 to get them to half health. I'm surprised it's taken Bungie this long to not realize how awful it is.
Normal heavy weapons shouldn't easily do more than a direct super to the head. That's pretty unfair.
A buff like this wouldn't really affect PVP, so there isn't really a reason to not go through with this.
Edit: Dear god people, read the post.

I agree. I think this is the tip of the major, underlying problem: PvP driven nerfs. I know, GG was never nerfed, but this falls into that same train of thought the sandbox devs are using. They need to completely separate the 2 modes of Destiny. That way you CAN(and should) be "overpowered" after grinding for the good stuff in pve. You SHOULD be able to stomp the hell out of something 40+ light below you. GG should take a bunch of health off a ultra. This happened to the Hammer already. I say, if they aren't going to buff it in pve then give Gunslinger the "simmering flame" perk like the titans have. I know that i hardly use the super since the big nerf, i just take advantage of the 12.5 second grenade cool down. Just a thought. They won't fix pve until the sequel though so i'm wasting space on the interwebs haha. Have a good one!
