Please, Fix/Buff Third Iteration
Third Iteration is far behind New Malpais and Mint Retrograde.
Please don't nerf the latters, instead buff Third Iteration, even with Void Soul it is weak still against strong enemies on Ultimate activities.
Addendum/Correction: what really sucks is its reload mechanic! I could finish a Barrier Champion alone whether the reload wasn't so suck! Revision Zero is better than Third Iteration!

2 RepliesDoesn't need a buff You're comparing a primary scout rifle with 2 special ammo pulse rifles , one of them a rocket assisted frame 3rd iteration. Does very good DMG for a primary , spreads weaken , makes you invisible and gives you true sight All on a primary ammo gun that buffs its own DMG by just shooting at a mob Also, if you're a hunter , gamblers Dodge bypasses reload entirely, the gun reloads itself over time , it's affected by reload mods considerably and its basically a mini shotty if you hip-fire it Also , 3rd iteration + khepris on a hunter = everything perma weakened and smoke bombs for days Mint is just DMG , new malpais suspends and unravels , and pretty much vomits damage with excellent ammo economy They all fulfill different roles If you want to compare 3rd iteration. Compare primary exotics then Polaris lance would be a fair comparison and if anything , Polaris would need a DMG buff to compare Tldr 3rd iteration is fine

My main problem with Third Iteration is how long it takes to charge the "super shot" and how weak the gun is if you're not afforded the time to charge said shot.

The reload mod on your arm armor speeds it up, noticable difference.

In terms of exotics, Third Iteration is quite good, especially considering it is a scout.

1 ReplyImo charge damage increased by 5%, uncharged by 15%, and make it reload manually faster because even with 2 loaders it still takes like 5 seconds to fully reload it. Though they're already nerfing Mint which idk if it will but it likely will affect the Malpais.

2 RepliesThey are buffing it by nerfing Mint...Bungie logic strikes again.

2 Replies[quote]Third Iteration is far behind New Malpais and Mint Retrograde. .[/quote] You do know that 1 is a primary ammo weapon while the other 2 are special ammo weapons?
