Well, I FINALLY got Salvations Grip (FYI Bungie...I don't play my Hunter and Warlock...and if I did, I really would not want to do the campaign / this rediculous questline just to unlock aspects and fragments on both...just...for the future...let us one-and-done for all characters). Technically I haven't gone back to the Drifter yet to allow me to get the aspect quests from Elsie on Europa, but I've gotten the gun. The quest mission to get it is utterly AWESOME and made me feel like Sam Fisher for the first time ever. That's not easy to do when you are coated in Iron Man armor.
That being said, I finally get why no one uses this thing; It does no damage, has no splash damage, and eats all your heavy ammo unbelievably fast. I feel like this thing, if it has no AoE freeze (again, it's a heavy weapon that essentially fires a Liquid Nitrogen-filled chemical grenade...it should have an AoE freeze effect far greater than it does), should be like Fighting Lion: A special grenade launcher. If that means I need to reload after every shot, I feel like that is an OK compromise, but that would make it so much more useful. What do you guys think? Should I pass that along on Reddit or Twitter? I just feel like, with a weapon that's needed to do so much, and could be SO useful at least in PvE to help with Crowd Control issues in Horde encounters, it needs a lot of help. I get their worries (so maybe make it more like Witherhoard in that it takes Special Ammo instead of Primary like Fighting Lion), but the weapon is a real PITA to get, and should have some level of utility. Can you imagine it like Witherhoard? I can think of times when being able to use a Grenade Launcher to freeze even a couple enemies in thier tracks (then, maybe to use the Shatter mechanic to make them into anti-Thrall mines) would be so useful and make someone WANT to use this as their exotic.
