The Last Word is one of the most powerful weapons you can encounter in the Crucible. So powerful, it can kill you in less than a second (That's like a heavy weapon killtime). Often times, it doesn't matter if you get the first shot off; The Last Word user can just turn the battle the around in the blink of an eye without any real effort.
I've been told by multiple users that the eponymous perk the weapon has is actually bugged. The extra precision damage applies not only to hip firing, but aiming down the sights as well. That means that people who use this weapon are exploiting a glitch in the game to their advantage, which means they're cheating.
Look it up. Last time I checked the Xbox Live terms of service, exploiting unintended elements in a game to your advantage constitutes cheating. I'm sure PSN has similar terms. Bungie is no stranger to banning people for this sort of thing; Achronos himself stated back in the Halo 2 days that the use of the button glitches in that game in Matchmaking was cheating and a bannable offense.
I'm sure some of you (probably the people who use the gun) will start calling me names, saying that I suck or am a sore loser, yadda yadda yadda. But it doesn't really matter; the terms are clear. If you use the Last Word in Crucible in that manner, [i]you are technically cheating.[/i] There's no if's, and's, or but's about it. You are cheating.
You're welcome.

I get hammered by TLW a lot,I have one maxed out but I suck with it. I suck with all HC to be honest. Only saving grace is thorn and it's lingering damage. I was playing control today,I was practically getting sniped with TLW,it was crazy. I'd start using HC more but I'm practicing my scout rifles at the moment,try to up my game before trials of Osiris.

It only happens sometimes when you aims down sights just before you shoot. It's only happened to me 5 times landing me a 107 headshot. I've had this weeks before Xur sold it the first time.
-
As someone who has used the gun it is complete shite unless I am very close to the target in which case I just get blasted with a shotgun, if used like a regular hand cannon it is mediocre at best, when used as intended the effective range is absurdly horrible.
-
What if you use it legit? (Hip firing)
-
TL;DR but you sound like a giant cry baby. Go play COD or battlefield and stop whining.
-
Wow I cared so much about this phenomenon. Thanks for clearing this up, I will instantly feel better knowing I was just demolished by a cheater and not a real aspect of the game.
-
-
Its good you put "used in this manner" at the end but IMO its still easier to use TLW from the hip than aiming so most true last word users would still fire from the hip. Just my opinion thou
-
So by using TLW and not aiming down the sights I'm not cheating. Problem solved, and you're just jealous because you're getting wrecked by it.
-
If you think someone using a gun equals cheating, yer a scrub.
-
If that's true and the Last Word perk really is glitched and applying when aiming down sights, then technically yes it is indeed cheating to use The Last Word, which again if true is hilarious. Not anything that Bungie is likely to ban people over though, definitely not I dare say.
-
Is it OP? Yea Is it a b[b]i[/b]tch to control? Yea Is it unfair? Maybe a little bit Is it cheating? Ahahahahahahahaha no
-
There's no bug, your just getting wrecked.
-
You would have to prove your argument to prove that there was cheating, Stating that there was cheating is pointless unless you can back it up.
-
So your saying using the thunder lord which has a secret firefly perk (not mentioned in upgrades) is also cheating? If bungie didn't want it to do that they wouldn't have put it in IMO
-
I find thorn to be more annoying than TLW. You have to play pretty aggressively with TLW. Thorns range lets you sit back and just tag people with that DoT
-
Kek your stupid
-
It's working as intended. I'll do what I want. Thanks for your concern. It has been noted.
-
Dude, I get killed more using that gun than my Crusader scout. You still have to be good at head shots. You were playing folks who got the drop first is all. Get better.
-
Moan moan moan
-
Git gud or git out.
-
Are you shitting me? You're saying that if I am aiming down the sights then I'm a [b]cheater?[/b] I don't even use the last word at all, but I maxed it pre DLC and it was my main gun for a while. It was not that good [b]if you think that the steaming pile of shit that you wrote is even going to make a difference, then you don't deserve to be using that rotting brain of yours. Get gud scrub [/b]

If I wanted to hear something more intelligent than this post, I'd fart.

Edited by Mizo: 4/6/2015 5:01:32 PMOh? Players developed The Last Word? No. Bungie did. That is Bungie's fault not us, the community. Even if Bungie fixed the bug (I hope they do) TLW would still be Very good. No one has been banned using TLW and they shouldn't. If you do have the weapon then you know how tough it is to aim properly even with perfect balance and The Last Word Perk. Did many people knew about this bug? Because I sure haven't.

Sounds like someone needs a hug.
