Improvement Regarding NLB

As with many topics here on the feedback thread are talking about the need of improvemnts for the No Land Beyond rifle, I thought I'd give my two cents on the matter. [b]The Good[/b]: The idea of a bolt action sniper rifle is a charming idea when placed into such an advanced universe like Destiny, The ability to have this as a primary is wonderful-if it wasn't so shotty. The Master perk is actually not that bad. Sure, it doesn't compare to Black Hammers 19k damage when shooting Atheon in the gut, but in PVP it can deal considerable damage. Overall this is a PVP based Rifle. Which is good, because the iron sights don't give a red glint. [b]The Bad[/b]: The iron sights are beefy and blocks most of the target, making precision shots all the more difficult. What I don't get is the time it takes to ADS. They're Iron Sights. In most FPS games including Destiny; Reflex and iron sights sacrifice zoom for speed. Something this sniper doesn't have. This sniper has poor ammo capacity. As a primary, this sniper should have more ammo than what it usually would have in the special slot. [b]The Ugly[/b]: So, the ammo glitch completely screws up any long term playability with this weapon. Even without the glitch, you'd get just 18 shots. Why doesn't this rifle have over penetration? It's an Anti-Materiel Rifle. Things die when you shoot an Anti-Materiel rifle. [b]Things to Fix[/b]: Fix the Ammo glitch. Increase ammo to 36. Give this rifle faster ADS speed. Allow the bullets to pass through enemies like the perk: Over Penetration. Replace Snapshot with Perfect Balance. Clean up the iron sights just a bit. No Land Beyond is a lot of fun. But it's not efficient. Thanks for reading.

      Agree with everything except the iron sights. I have shot real guns with that sight and they aced it. Edit: they really need to increase the Rate of Fire. I can pull back the slide on my grandpa's WWI bolt rifle than my guardian by about 75% faster and my guardian is supposed to know how to handle guns better than me.

    • I'm actually having fun with this gun, but yea some improvements need to be made. 1. Fix the ammo bug. Carrying a total of 12 shots on a primary weapon is just sad. Needs at least 25-30 before ammo buffs from gear. I can manage with amount this since primary ammo drops often. 2. ADS. Maybe provide an upgrade option which lessens the zoom (like PnT) and increases reload time. While its range is great if i want to snipe something all the way across the globe, its unusable for mid-close range fights (i know, i know its a sniper rifle but i use my LDR5001 in mid-close range just fine with the ambush scope.). Also, bear in mind this is a primary weapon. 3. Time between shots. I dunno what's actual term for this, but the bolt action between shots is a little too long. While its ok in PvE, this renders the weapon almost useless in PvP unless you can guarantee a headshot with every bullet you fire. But still cool though, i've always wanted to rock a bolt action rifle in Destiny.

      • I pretty much agree with Alpha wolf 100% All i want is a perk that shortens the time between shots, or keep that as is but add a perk that makes this thing a one shot beast! (PvE) Would also be nice if it could be equipped as either a primary OR secondary.
