In Destiny 1, Fabian started off as an interesting auto that sucked.
Eventually they buffed it to make it one of the more solid auto rifles in the game.
Considering how much better auto rifles do now in Destiny 2, with higher base range and overall better accuracy...fabian strategy would be really good, especially at close range.
If you don't remember it's perk, here's a brief break down of what it did:
It's exotic perk was to change to a faster fire rate when enemies were closer to you, about a side arms effective range length to get it to activate.
Once active, it would grant you faster fire rate, faster handling, and better stability.
It also restored a percent of the magazine on each kill.
It had life support, a perk that had a chance to start health regeneration on kills if you were critical.
And it had crowd control, which is Destiny 1's version of rampage.
As an exotic, it doesn't really sound all that special, but it was especially effective when you got the weirdness of it down.
It's bonus perks alone makes it so versatile that it's suitable for almost any condition or encounter.
600 rpm for better long range control and accuracy.
900 rpm for close range to melt rushing players.
If low and you get a kill, chance to heal, restores a portion of the magazine, and grants a temporary damage buff.
Fabian strategy, although not exactly my favorite Destiny exotic, is definitely one of the most under rated due to how Destiny 1 treated auto rifles.
In Destiny 2, this thing would be a fantastic weapon and honestly it's something that I believe, much like the ace of spades, would be something players might really strive to get.
I say, if possible, make it into an exotic quest later on if you can bungie.

Started a new topic: Tlaloc would also be fantastic in Destiny 2.(1 Reply)

Bring back the tlaloc and TLW/thorn as well
-
Hell yea. I would like for it to come back.
-
I'd take Extremophile 011 back over this all day.
-
I miss the Häkke autos. I loved my Zarinaea-D, my Arminius-D and my Fabian Strategy. Those were all I used.

Edited by firstDead: 9/11/2018 5:19:41 PMSince we’re on the topic of auto rifles, I’m currently enjoying the Ether Doctor. Perks are, if my memory recalls, zen moment and rampage.
-
It was alright, but not outstanding.
-
YES PLEASE.
-
No. No, no, no. It was always horrible and it should never see the light of day again.
-
I just hated that it would change if anyone got within range. I would agree if they changed the mechanics for the RoF perk so that it only activates when the enemy is close and in your field of vision.
-
I think fabian was 360 rpm normally. And became 600 when its perk activated.
-
Maybe 720 ROF normally, but shifts to 900 when the perk procs. Only this time, no damage reduction: D1's FS became 15% weaker, bullet for bullet, when the perk kicked in. It's like the best aspects of a rifle and SMG in one weapon.
-
Bump! Bump! Bump! I'd love one on my hunter!
-
I've always hated this gun. Never felt right. I would rather have the Unbent Tree back with my favorite perks.
-
I’d rather have zhalo supercell back

Fabian was great, and with Rally Barricade in PVE, it'd be silly as hell. I honestly miss the "rank up with gunsmith and suddenly you get an exotic bounty" and I would love for that to make a comeback, because right now Banshee is just disappointing. I'd also like to see more guns that interact with class abilities like Immobius (for those that don't remember, it was a shotgun that didn't expend shotgun shells used to kill while inside of Ward of Dawn). *immediately starts to go on rant about how you only get blessing of light if you have Saint-14 equipped now instead of having it normally. Anyway! I'd love to see some more of the D1 exotics get the Ace of Spades treatment.
-
BUUUUMMMMPP! Easily one of my favorites of D1. If they were to bring it back I'd be happier than a fat kid in a candy store.
-
Does anyone know what the 3 missing base game exotics are when look on collection tab
-
Love the Fabian Strategy... I'd use the hell of it if they'd let me have one.
-
I loved Fabian. Imagine now with this new defender class... straight tank!
-
You convinced me, I'm with you. I loved the idea of putting exclusive weapons for a class in D1 but those of the titan (me my main) were not really anything special...
-
Fabian sounds like my boyfriends hairstylist.
-
I've got a halfdan-d with rangefinder and outlaw. Kills most trash ads in 1-2 headshots, up to scout rifle ranges. And with war rig you can shoot almost endlessly. Only thing that could make it better for me is kill clip instead of outlaw as it already has a decently quick reload. Somewhat unrelated except its the same archtype.
-
Make it a reward for killing zavala, he is useless and stands in the tower all day anyway. Besides he gave me 12 snipers and 8 helmets this week back to back so he deserves it
-
I'm just sad they nerfed my zhalo into riskrunner. Thing could melt for days
