Buddy your kd is 0.79. You die way more than you get kills. I doubt that you know how to use weapons effectively. The gun is currently broken as it can be beat by any other primary weapon.

My KD is low because of year 1. I also don't take PvP seriously so I don't headglitch and shoulder charge everything in sight. When i use the gun it does well and no, i dont main just the one weapon so my KD doesn't even matter.

I don't headglitch or use cheap tactics either. Just take this pulse and put it up against any other pulse in the game. They all have higher base stability and range. And they have sights that work well. NTTE has a great exotic perk but is hindered by its poor design. When I play sweats there is no way this weapon can hold its own, but I just wish it could because it is the games prestigious end game weapon.

Most guns can't compete in endgame legitimately because of the awful balance in general

I think bungie needs to go back to the drawing board on exotic weapons. Their philosophy is since the gun has an exotic perk, we need to dumb down the usability and base stats of it. It should not be like that at all. The base stats should be just as formidable as legendaries, and te exotic perk is what makes it stand out. Bad Juju is a great example of this. The gun has an amazing exotic perk, but is relatively unusable in sweats because hawksaw performs much better consistently. Boolean Gemini and NTTE are other examples of guns with poor bases stats due to its exotic perk.
