At the start of Destiny 2 Merciless was an exotic heavy fusion rifle and was turned into a special fusion rifle. Whisper of the worm was originally the Black Hammer in Destiny 1. Later it turned into an exotic version (Black Spindle), but it was a special weapon. In Destiny 2 it returned as the Whisper of the worm. Whisper of the worm was a heavy weapon and had its OG unnerfed perk. Now that Whisper of the worm is now nerfed, should it return to the special slot like Merciless since Titan barricades and Luna faction rifts reload weapons from reserve anyways?

It's damage output STILL beats out most other heavies, it loses mainly to falling gilloutine right now. A sniper that doesn't belong in the heavy slot is DARCI (less they bump its reload/damage).
