They said it was working as intended. That means they don't see that it sucks.

Or that they don't mind having an Exotic that straight out sucks

(Writing this is the second stupidest thing I've done all day. The stupidest thing I've done all day is actually post it.)

It's just a super sucky gun. I don't know how Bungie can't see that.

You think they don't?

Perhaps this is all a social experiment, to see how many people will just soldier on trying to get this thing even after everyone knows it is not worth having.

Granted, I only ever use it in VoG at this point, but the Persistence perk turns it's stream into a laser beam of void death, and it has the clip size to back it up. I NEVER run out of ammo with Field Scout turned on.

See I only ever use it with the stability perk on over field scout... maybe I'll change that up.

. . . I managed to snag the Crux of Crota as a drop (despite Speedracer's cries of anguish ;p). . . .

I couldn't even care less that I didn't get a Crux last night -- I'm just mad that you got it before me! >:-|

Seriously, are there any exotic weapons I had before you? Thunderlord maybe?

Don't worry, I'm still jealous of your 3 Black Hammers and 2 Gjallarhorns ;p

I've still *only* got 1 of each.

*The ultimate first world problem

... and it's actually kinda' fun against lower-level enemies!

I haven't spent much time with it, but I did use it during a WARSAT public event in Old Russia and I couldn't kill anything with it. Granted, a lot of the Fallen enemies that were attacking were Majors, but still... they were only level 5. I ended up having to punch as many to death as I could while Dogcow and Cody took care of the rest lol

And, I mean, I don't have the numbers and I'm not going to trust the bars enough to get a ruler and try to remember vector multiplication, but the Necrochasm does have higher Impact than other guns in the class, even if its magazine is smaller. That seems like it could be a fair trade-off, just a very niche tradeoff in an already niche archetype.

It's not a tradeoff when some enemies can't be killed using a full magazine, and you must reload! That just sucks. We're talking trash level enemies here. That's just completely unusable.

Well, keep in mind that the archetype the Necrochasm fits in is my favorite gun type.

I'd probably just use it in Arc burns and Fallen-heavy events, because of the mag size, but still.

The big problem is that even with CQB Ballistics AND Fitted Stock activated, the stability is just too wild to consistently land hits. I'd say roughly half the bullets that leave the barrel miss my target completely, even at close-mid range.

1. You can use aggressive ballistics, which makes it much easier to hit stuff (and more impact). More predictable recoil is much much better than lower recoil on the necrochasm in my opinion.

2. The thing sucks even for arc burn. Fatebringer or Fang completely outclasses it.

It's just a super sucky gun. I don't know how Bungie can't see that. Magazine size is too small. It does shit damage. Explosion perk activates a million years after the enemy is killed.

Well, okay; Cruel said the big problem was the Stability, but okay.

I can't say anything about the perk, though.

It's true that I don't use guns in this archetype very often, so I don't have a great base for comparison. I do use Atheon's Epilogue often enough, and I find it to be far more effective.

The only way I could possibly see the Necrochasm being effective is in situations like The Abyss, or parts of the Omnigal strike, with multiple guardians firing it together into a crowd. 2 or 3 Necrochasms flooding a crowd of Thrall with a downpour of fire and explosive headshots might work decently well... But I still can't imagine it being as effective as a single Fatebringer :-/

Oh, I'm all for everyone having a chance to use this gun.. and then feel the inevitable disappointment. So I hope you get it!

I do think Bungie will address it at some point and make it worthwhile.
