I think newer guardians deserve to have their hands on it..I (a veteran day 1 player) have 3 Icebreakers and they almost get no play whatsoever.. Its recoil(albeit slightly controllable) is crazy, its ammo regen rate is slooow and heavy exotics or even primaries are better to slot. As well, special ammo is cheap to buy from gunsmith, i know heavy is cheap from xur(1 strng coin) but if you can stock up on special ammo and just worry about finding purple pez candies laying around youll be better off...black hammer, queens sniper and even p n t seem better to me. Its not needed to fight crota(people who even worry about boomers are scrubs) and is of no value in weekly or nightfall activities..its only purpose is as backup ammo when you completely run dry on special ammo, but even then true guardians should always have a low level shoot to loot weapon in their arsenal...
