NLB is garbage as a PVP gun (Destiny)

Then again, I use my sniper rifle early and often. In reality, it's my preference to sniper first and use other weapons later. Maybe that's why I hate NLB so much. For a sniper that goes in the primary slot, it's far from a weapon you would primarily use. It's a backup to your primary use shotgun or fusion rifle (two weapons I almost never use).

And I would say that's the main reason you're so adamant that it never has any use. I always struggle choosing between all three special weapons since they all have great uses in PvP. I'm also a more careful sniper anyway. Even with a much faster firing sniper rifle if I miss with my first shot I often run, which makes the NLB just as useful as any other sniper rifle, only now when I run I have a one-shot weapon for a shorter range on me. The NLB will never be for everyone (even when they DO buff it) but it definitely has its place in the Crucible if it fits your play style.
