Just stop. The fact that everyone comes on here crying "don't nerf this" just means it's OP and you're scared to lose your crutch.
I don't have it yet and haven't really been bothered by it, but it's honestly pretty stupid to have a primary weapon throw off damaging effects just by "causing damage". It doesn't even require a kill to do so.
Some things are just stupid... like allowing the nanite effect in crucible. It should only apply in pve. Also, it's burning primevals in Gambit faster than Secondaries or Heavy weapons because the damage stacks.
So get ready... your newest crutch WILL be nerfed because once again Bungie didn't think things through and Bungie allows NOBODY to affect Gambit negatively.
Why do you think Whisper was nerfed?
Bungie made a horrible product with D2 and then fixed it by making better weapons but completely turned everything into a boss melt because the bosses still have to be killable with standard loadouts available to everyone.
And then they made the pvp situation untenable by removing sbmm, which means people with super meta weapons are thrown in just anywhere and being infinitely more deadly than everyone else doesn't even throw you into a higher bracket... so QP is an even worse mess than it was during the revelry and now Outbreak is being used by teams to make Competitive tougher to get through.
Sorry, but these weapons aren't just fun, they are also stupid. I'm doing okay because of Jotunn, which is another OP weapon that needs a nerf. It should just be a solar Telesto, but instead it's a tracking cross-mapper with residual AoE flame damage. Oh, you killed me after I ran out of ammo? I just respawned with 2 more and I get more special ammo dropping from the kills I get on shotgunners.
I admit it's fun melting shotgun apes while they try vainly to get close, but seriously... I went an entire match last week melting a shotgunner with a MUCH better record than me simply because he was a Warlock and he couldn't evade Jotunn. I don't know if he ever even touched me the entire match, and he was REALLY trying because I imagine he was pissed.
Anyway, back to my original point. I haven't seen any topics saying to nerf Outbreak, but I've seen two pleading not to...
That telks ANYONE with a brain that it needs a nerf. YOU are your own worst enemy, dummy... so shut your mouth and just play.

No, it means we finally have an exotic worth using, and we're tired of bungie ruining the power fantasy. Get your head out of your ass. LH/NF were broken. Outbreak is powerful in PvE.

Jotunn is only good against bad players who don't know how to strafe, and don't know to jump into the air.

....you don't know how this weapon works, do you.

Edited by ThePyrahmaniac: 5/10/2019 10:59:59 PMYou're just saying that because you're scared of getting killed by nanites so that's a very long winded defence mechanism.

Ah yes it's stupid to have a exotic weapon be exotic and deal some damage.

Not to disembody your post, but for the record nanites spawn from rapid consistent precision hits and precision kills. And the nanites have to be what seems like within 3-4 meters to be tracked by them. Which frankly isnt even as good as i get with my oxygen with dragonfly spec, 3 headshots in pvp abd anyone within 5 meters will drop with it, ive gotten triple kills this way. Needless to say its far from the most dangerous thing in pvp, and or gambit, i mean malfeasance anyone? It has extremely high dmg low recoil and every 5 hits drills in which for gambits sake also bonus dmg to taken, thorn gets dot on hits, i mean even just looking at other exotic primaries i wouldnt call outbreak the best primary like some people have, i just think its another cool weapon. Hell ill still spot whisper in pvp just as another excuse to snipe, or run izanagi for honed x4 and body a guardian.
