ATS/8 ARACHNID thoughts?
The ATS/8 ARACHNID, made for the Gunslinger, does not seem to be a viable choice over the symbiote. While it certainly does look cool, its effectiveness is lost to the fact that zooming in with the golden gun is just way less effective as having a fourth shot. Also, when in close quarters, the helmet's perk actually makes it harder for you to find your target when you zoom in with the golden gun.
Possible changes to the helmet to make it a viable choice for the gunslinger could be:
-A toggle to zoom in/out with the golden gun (press d-pad up whilst aiming)
-Granting the "over the horizon" perk
-Granting crits when aiming down with the golden gun
-Zooming in reveals players' health bars
Certainly the point of exotics would to not be overpowered, but sound overpowered, so by having said changes, most of them would be noticeable in PVE, since a shot from the golden gun is OHK in PVP anyways.
Please leave any suggestions for the ATS/8 ARACHNID below.
Edit: Suggestions by commenters:
ClownSlick-Zooming in with the golden gun delays the timer of the super.
Mind Scuptor-Zooming in gives higher damage and crits with the golden gun
Bearijuana-Add a new perk called "chain reaction" which when zoomed in 1 g.g can spread to another player for half damage.
Sportan-Give over the horizon and keyhole along with zoom as it is.

1 ReplyI have it. I don't use it. This seems like a viable buff.

3 RepliesPretty worthless exotic. I still use it though... Badass looks > 1 golden gun shot imo
-
6 RepliesLooks cool. Zoom isn't as good as a 4th shot.

2 RepliesHow about, zooming in gives higher damage, and crits with the golden gun

1 ReplyThey are both viable options in raid matchmaking

5 RepliesSymbiote is better

5 RepliesUntil GG Crits, it is useless. Sometimes I wonder if they guys coming up with these perks even play the game.

1 ReplyBumped. Though I would rather they replace the aim perk all together for something more useful... Perhaps give it the exploding perk so that you could use keyhole and get both... I don't know. Only two hunter exotics worth having are symbiote and the mask of the third man tbh.

1 ReplyMy idea for it, since the zoom is more for the sit back type of gameplay is for it to allow you more time to take your 3 shots. Too often I have 1 shot left, and run to find an enemy only to have gg disappear.
-
3 RepliesDisagree. I like mine just the way it is. It comes down to what do you want. Symbiote is great if you're fighting close-to-mid-range and that fourth GG shot is helpful. ARACHNIC is great if you need to make precision or long range GG shots. Would have been a REALLY nice thing to have for Atheon fights in the VoG.

5 RepliesIt looks alright and that's about it. I wonder who came up with that idea lol. Golden already has a super auto lock aim bot hack, I don't see why you need a zoom for it. Judging from most of the exotics (95%) it makes me wonder if bungie even knows their game.

5 RepliesKnucklehead is better than both.......cant beat constant radar while ads

5 RepliesIt's trash like every other hunter exotic but the symbiote. Bungie gives hunters the worst exotics.

5 Replies"Also, when in close quarters, the helmet's perk actually makes it harder for you to find your target when you zoom in with the golden gun." Totally Agree. This helmet needs to be reworked/buff in some way.
