Efrideet's Spear is Overpowered

Rolled with the proper perks, I believe this rifle is a bit game breaking and should be nerfed. Certain perks shouldn't be allowed on sniper rifles (e.g. armor piercing rounds, final round). What do you guys think? I put together a montage of how ridiculous this weapon is. ***Update: I am more so asking for opinions on the perks (final round, armor piercing rounds) and wether you consider them overpowered or not on a sniper rifle. Efrideet's Spear is simply an excellent example of these perks due to the reforging option, small clip size, and massive impact.

  • I don't really think it is OP. I have the Efrideet's Spear with all of the perks you mentioned. I'm not going to lie; it's a beast. It isn't OP for one single reason though, you don't have infinite ammo. It isn't something like Thorn (just an example people, calm down) where it kills in 2 shots and you can do that forever because you always have ammo. Yes, you have 1 guaranteed body shot kill per mag, but you don't have enough ammo to make it more powerful than any other special weapon. With Praetorian Foil I can 1 shot kill most of the time, but I have a lot more ammo for it than Efrideet's Spear. The same can be said of most shotguns.
