Exotic weapons should get the tiered stat bonuses.

I can't really think of many if any it would actually break at this point. Between stat nerfs that have long been made invalid like to Thorn's catalyst or various exotics not having gimmicks strong/ available enough to warrant the significant stat differences compared to the average legendaries in their archetypes, it's an honest question at this point of what would it break that can't or isn't already being broken by 12 other options? Especially when some exotics already have stats way below the "expected" stat ranges on their archetypes such as for a few examples: * Devils Ruin. All other 300rpm sidearms have 70-80+ AA on the low end, but this has 56 * Touch of Malice. All other 260 scouts have about 60 give or take, but this has 40, matching what would otherwise be the "best" among 150s * Or Sunshot. All other lightweight and former lightweight hand cannons and even some that were adaptives to begin with like Kindled Orchid or have 80-90 AA, but this has 60, matching a low ranking 120. Not much reason not to at this point. Between guns that can have 80 to their lowest stat (performance enhancing perks required or not is irrelevant so long as it requires little to no effort to keep active such as Keep Away or Perpetual Motion) or others that can achieve their maximum killing potential with less effort and build crafting, why not? Pick an exotic weapon and what is it going to break with getting stat boosts equal to having their barrel, mag, and grip/ stock enhanced or even getting the +5 to it's stats on top of that?

  • Most Exotics have way worse stats than any T5 legendary, but the Exotics that are already popular should NOT be buffed.
