I had been doing some research as I am dumbfounded by the fact that I have weapons that the specter can use no problem, but then there are these weapons that many veteran players haven't ever used for a long time where the specter seems to literally get worse the further away you get. Weapons that normally should not be missing this badly.
I have a theory that DE somehow either neglected to go back and rework weapons for specters after their release or they built an entirely different system for the original weapons that is not in use today for the newer weapons.
