Right ok but

If a gun has any muzzle velocity beyond instant (hit scan) that's kind of a big deal. I mean none of the primaries currently do that. They are all hit scan. Is it a non hit scan primary? That's kinda crazy

No its not crazy. It's an exotic that does weird things.

Vex Mythoclast wasn't hit scan.

There are no non hit scan ARs or pulses. It's kind of a big deal and will affect performance.

So? There's no full auto fusion rifles that shoot a single bolt while being a primary. It's a one off gimmick that's going to be collecting dust in your vault in no time flat.

I'm calling it now, it'll be a gimmicky piece of poo poo that will fall outside of the meta within a month of the masses having access to it.

Yeah I was assuming it was gunna be a bad gun before but not being hit scan makes it even worse. It just surprised me that nobody was mentioning it.

Unless it's just Bungie writing dumb bullshit in perk slots because they can't keep their poo poo straight.

Seems to me like it's still going to be hitscan and "increased muzzle velocity" actually just means "increased damage per shot since this turns it into a scout rifle".

But NTTE is fun. Use Juju in strikes/poe to kill trash then in the boss fight switch to NTTE and hold that trigger down for five minutes.

Jade Rabbit isnt terrible for strikes and poo poo, once you get the hang of how to keep the ammo full

but I mean I guess everything is okay for strikes and poo poo.

Game Informer article about the Khvostov. Weapon parts for the gun drop from various activities/sharding the OG gun, works towards some kind of sleeper-esque quest?

I started Destiny in Y2, so my memory of the Khvostov is "man that gun is a piece of poo poo and auto rifles are totally not my thing". How do people develop such deep feelings for that gun in particular?

No one cares about it. It only showed up in crucible when dudes got drunk and were all "haha watch me pull out this lovely gun that I've been storing in the fault since I created my character!"

Short on inspiration, Bungie decided to make it a thing.

It sounds like it'll just save you a small amount of time since you can also get the quest item from a bunch of other places with lower reliability.

True. But DoP does the same thing without using an exotic slot.

Unless it has awesome range or aim assist ir something.

Wait what, we need a khostov still to get the exotic one? Does it matter if I kill a character to get one again then now?

It's going to work like the initial drops for Sleeper just that you can dismantle a Khostov to get one if the items to start the quest.
