Do not buy patience and time (Destiny)

Patience and time is not a great gun. I got this from the raid the first time, so I had time to try it out.

It's got a middle of the road 13 shot capacity. The impact is not too bad. However it excels at nothing. The problem is that its signature ability is not very good:

1. You only stay cloaked for about 6 or 7 seconds while zoomed in. You can't stay permanently cloaked, and if you stay zoomed in it will wear off.

2. On zooming in, it takes about a second to actually activate the cloak. This is worst of all, and if you cloaked immediately this gun would actually be good. Because of this, even if you use the gun you don't even spend much time invisible.

3. Your red light is still visible to other players.

In practice, it is useless in the crucible. In PvE almost any other sniper is better in any given situation (Icebreaker / Praedith's Revenge)
