Just ran a combined arms match earlier yesterday.
As a titan with a weapons bubble, you might as well stamp me as a sniper universally from now on. The match was fun for me. Why?
Icebreakers impact needs to be nerfed. One body shot is a confirmed kill and combustion does occur. Tanks? Evadeable, but can be a problem depending on the map and bubble placement. Other vehicles? Can't survive with an Icebreaker hitting plus damage.
That's the feedback I have right now. I'd honestly add about 7 or 8 to the natural stability of the rifle since it is a single shot from an energy base. No metals in the chamber or shot to really make a sniper rifles recoil so badly, but hey, that's just me. I'd also add .5 to 1 second off the charge time just to compensate for only 6 shots (2 body shots means 3 of 6 is dead and now need to wait for more charge shots. Even with delays in enemy movements, engagements in destiny are lightning fast. All guns should compensate for that logic.)
Thoughts, comments, concerns about icebreaker? Share away.

Edited by rick23452: 5/5/2017 4:41:14 PMSorry, but your feedback is not being honest. You state that it's a one shot kill even to the body, which isn't true. It has to be buffed first to do that, and other snipers will do the same. This doesn't need nerfed. It's part of a super. It does exactly the same as the other snipers in it's arch type. Not that Bungie is likely to make any more changes. However if they do, hopefully it will be to buff primaries, and revert the ammo changes they made that made ice breaker popular in the first place.
