Dead messenger is kinda lame - it needs a buff
I don’t see the usability in this exotic. The fundamentals is a cool perk but I think it should be built into it rather than taking a crucial perk slot. It already feels like it has no real perk or uniqueness apart from the 3 waves. Not to mention it’s catalyst is a waste of time. Here are the basics that need to be addressed:
- give it an actual perk that makes it feel exotic. Maybe each element wave does something different like burn, make traces or have volatile for example.
- turnabout is very underpowered. The shield in pve especially is incredibly weak and offers no benefit in endgame.
- the catalyst should enhance or change the weapon, it feels a little lazy that it’s just a lame perk slapped on to the gun. There are many other much better options like chain reaction, ambitious assassin or lead from gold.
- make it stand out further from other wave GLs by giving it some oomph such as increasing damage to majors and bosses/ champions.
I definitely feel like there is improvement to be done as right now it’s just a clone of borealis and we already know how popular that gun is. Not to mention A bunch of legendary GLs far outclass this gun *cough* forbearance *cough*

Edited by Infamous067: 5/1/2022 10:11:46 PMThis is how I would buff it 1: each wave is its own element. This means you are literally using all 3 elements on one shot, no need to cycle between waves anymore. 2: increase damage, as you said it feels kind of weak in pve. Give that thing a pve buff! 3: idk what the catalyst does, I didn’t bother getting it but I assume auto loading holster is probably the best perk bungie could ever give a grenade launcher with a high reload speed or handling. 4? This one is a meh but could be interesting. Each wave could also have a certain effect to them. Solar kill will cause enemies to explode, void kills will cause nearby enemies to be volatile and arc kills from the wave will have chain lightning. All that for only one burst per shot. Does it sound OP? Yes its an exotic, make it fun. Would it break pvp? Yes but bungie can clearly separate the sandboxes as they have been doing already so its not impossible.
