Red Death Reformed is a shame!
1) Bungie did nerf pulse rifles to the ground.
2) this weapon inherited the nerf of "1".
3) I use Aberrant Action or Timeworn Wayfarer instead of Red Death Reformed because both have heal clip enhanced trait.
The damage of this weapon is weak even for Rank-and-file (or Minor) enemies in end-game activities.

Red Death is like one of the highest damaging pulse rifles in the game. The issue is that 340 pulse rifles have bad damage output so I'd just give 340's a 15-20% buff. Though tbh this could probably extend to most pulse rifles with MAYBE only the heavy bursts being fine without it since they're closer to hand cannons while most pulses are closer to autos in terms of how long it takes to kill red bars. I'd then increase the stats. With 340's having kinda bad range now in pvp (Dropped from 40 down to like 36-37) I doubt giving Red Death a small stat bump would be harmful. Plus with 140's gaining the possibility to 2 shot I doubt 340's will ever encroach on the hand cannon meta ever again. For the stat bump I'd set base reload to 50, stability to 60 (Without the unique recoil pattern the 49 really hurts it in both pve and pvp), and airborne to 40.
