Sleeper Simulant only got a 3.3% damage buff, not 15% like it was supposed to, as many of you are aware. Bungie said this would be fixed after VoG's release. Well it's been about 3 weeks and we haven't heard a word about this patch.
Bungie, are y'all planning it for later or is it gonna be swept under the rug? Really don't want Sleeper to continue being almost worthless in most of the game...
External link →I 100% believe the 3% was intentional. I also don’t believe it will be fixed either. I use Sleeper a lot, my main heavy when messing around in game.
I'm looking at the bug right now. The 3% was not intentional. It's going to be fixed in the next update early next month. Bad news is we are not buffing up to 15% like promised. Looks like it will be 16.5% increase over last season.
For more context, the buff was a flat increase to precision damage multiplier, which worked fine on all legendary LFRs and most Exotics. Sleeper has a non-standard base precision damage multiplier, so benefited from the buff very differently than everything else.
Also note that this makes Sleeper highest damage per shot by far, very competitive burst damage, but its body damage is a lot higher than all other LFRs, so it is much more forgiving if you miss the crit.
