The Buzlok accuracy nerf

[Genoscythe]

A few hotfixes ago, the buzlok has received an accidential stealth nerf (probably with the new projectile mechanics) that makes it fire all over the place after an initial salvo, heavily reducing its accuracy when not locked onto an enemy. As of fortuna, the accuracy is still low (tested last night with 24.0)

 

This has already been addressed multiple times without any answers by DE. Looking at how buzlok is only really effective with a good riven anyway, further limiting its use seems to make no sense and is obviously a small oversight.

 

Apart from that, homing projectiles are still not affected by flight speed mods.

 

It would be nice to have an answer on this matter from the devs.

Thanks, was't sure if it was just my memory but yes I went into a mission and thought, "Oh, why do I have Heavy Cal equipped?" . I left and it wasn't on, so the accuracy overall is pretty bad now.

Ah, but don't you know?  This is intended to balance out the buzlok, along with the riven tweaks.  Because the Buzlok was just too powerful.

any official news yet? Buzlok is such a niche weapon that it would be really sad if this was intentional :/
