A little bird told me Patience and Time may be the next exotic for sale from Xur tomorrow.

I want to go on record as saying I EARNED MINE FROM THE RAID. ZOMG NOW EVERY IDIOT WILL HAVE THIS COOL SNIPER! IT'S OVER BUNGIE.

Just out of curiosity: is PaT more useful in PvE than icebreaker, or is it primarily a PvP weapon? Not sure if active camo beats unlimited ammo, have an opinion?

Patience and Time's signature ability is not as good as it seems.

1. It takes about a second and a half after scoping for the camo to become active.
2. It only lasts for so long, so it will wear off. You can't stay scoped for a long time and be invisible too.
3. Your red light is still visible.

I find the ability borderline useless in crucible, but the sniper itself is pretty good. In PvE it is nice, but icebreaker is generally more useful. A better sniper for crucible is Praedyth's Revenge. I thought it was bad at first because of the low impact, but any sniper will one shot kill via headshot, and 2 shot body kill in crucible. Because it's so fast firing and stable, bad shooters like me can tear it up.

I play PvE almost exclusively, wondering if it's worth the coinage. I don't use snipers much either, so I'm thinking PaT won't be pushing Icebreaker out of the rotation.

I hope it's IB again...

I have still to get enough coins for it. Also, Sunbreakers sold for 2 weeks in a row, so there's that. :p

Agreed. Sniper Impact is pretty worthless in PvP

I'll probably get it. I have plenty of strange coins and motes right now, and I'd like to try it out. I actually don't use snipers much on my Warlock, but if I need room in my special inventory I'll just chuck it over to to vault for eventual Hunter use.

No Truth to Cody's post... ;)
