Revoker Camping is a Huge Nuisance

I think the perk needs to be reworked. It gets tiring being laned by a sniper for all eternity because they just keep getting ammo back and you can't bait them properly. That, and sometimes you come across players who will actively find a teammate to team-shoot with in situations where they are forced to do something. The majority of them I see just sit back and run for the majority of the match. It gets hard to actually push them with anything else. Saying Beloved is a better sniper does not mean anything. Revoker is free special ammo right now. That's why everyone is using it. Beloved can be baited and bullets can be wasted. Revoker doesn't really have that issue. And the bullets for Revoker come back so fast... I have an old suggestion about the Reversal of Fortune perk and a new one I just thought up. - (Old) If Revoker uses its final shot and misses, the bullet should not come back. If you have more than 1 ammo, then the perk will work as it does. - (New) A bigger rework. If you kill an enemy with Revoker after missing a shot, you get a bullet returned to the magazine. In this case, you still get ammo back and it happens on a kill when the conditions are met instead, but it can't be endlessly spammed. It also still works with the name of the perk. After thinking about it, I think I like the newer idea better. Getting team-shot by auto rifles is one thing, but getting team-shot by a "head-glitching" Revoker on some far side of the map is infuriating at this point. It wouldn't be nearly as bad if that sniper followed the rules of the same ammo economy.

  • There’s plenty of time between shot and when it rechambers to move.

    • It's really not as bad as you're making it out to be. I get killed far more often by beloved. I find that to be the snipe people sit back with more often. Revoker at least for me works with my more aggressive playstyle. It gives me the ability to run around and try to land quick scopes on people. As a pose to traditional sit there and lane sniping.

      • Survival: Revoked has a usage rate of 8.89% and accounts for 9.03% of kills. Trials: Revoker has a usage rate of 12.65% and accounts for 12.31% of kills. Revoker overall is the most used kinetic in competitive crucible and most used special weapon in quickplay Revoker breaks the ammo economy, there's no denying it; name any other special weapons that regenerate ammo when you miss, or even at all. It's broken for the same reason icebreaker was broken in d1, and in some ways it's actually better. Source: https://destinytracker.com/destiny-2/db/insights

      • if they suck at sniping this shouldn't be an issue if they are good they would use beloved if they are good and still use revoker that means they use it against supers and it has nothing to do with revoker but it being agressive frame

      • It's almost as if sniping is actually realistic...

      • I don't remember getting sniped by this gun so much until this season, don't even know what it was until getting killed by it so much recently I looked it up, really feels like it's just throwing us into matches against the pro players when everyone I'm up against has it something feels off, not everyone spends the time to farm for it, but when everyone I'm up against has it, pretty sure I'm being mismatched.
