Some exotic items feel weak...
Honestly, some exotics are really bad compared to named items. I would always choose any assault rifle over the Bighorn or any Kneepads over the Ninja Bike...
Having said that, I feel like making a list of some of the exotics that need some buffs:
1 - The Bighorn: It hurts to say this but... The Bighorn is legit one of the worst assault rifles in the game. It's dad to realize that the only weapon locked behind Legendary missions is just not worth the grind, Legendary is already tedious to complete and It takes A LOT of time, only to get a 5% drop chance of this weapon. When we got It and tested it, we thought It was bugged or something but no... The weapon is just bad... And Im gonna tell you why.
Very small magazine, too much recoil and very low dmg. Considering it's a Legendary drop and doesnt have crit chance/dmg mods, It should have bigger numbers on the base dmg, at least a 50 mag and waaaaaaaaay less recoil. The weapon's secondary mode is also pretty weak, It needs way more RPM and stability, something like an SVDs RPM and Stability when full modded. And finally, It needs a complete new talent, the EB has 2 talents and it's way easier to get that this weapon so I dont see why the Bighorn shouldnt have 2 as well. It needs a talent that not only buffs the user, but also buffs the entire team in order to make Legendary missions a little easier.
2 - Sweet Dreams: The talent is completely useless in PvP scenarios but it's really helpfull if you are playing support in PvE, I just think It needs a different funcionality when in PvP, It needs to do something to other players, maybe apply a random status effect whenever you shoot a player, obviosly a cooldown is needed. It would be awesome for a Controller build.
3 - Chameleon: Pretty useless weapon without any of the buffs, It needs at least 15% more base dmg, It also needs waaaay more optimal range, it's an AR for Christ sake...
Those are my 3 priority weapons, specially the Bighorn.
Keep in mind not everything is bad, Lady Death, exotic chest, mask, holster, gloves and backpack are a **** ton of fun to use and really feel like exotics, Kneepads just not my playstyle but they are kind of good too. Also all the other weapons are great ecotics, Bullet King, Pestilence, Lady Death, Merciless (it's ******g awesome now). I just want those 3 guns to be like the other exotic weapons, I want to feel they are actual exotics and not just some red weapons...
