Simple aesthetic addition to the gun that allows 2 rounds to be fired before requiring a bolt action cycle. This would be purely aesthetic, as the wait time between those 2 shots could be the same as the time it takes to perform the bolt action cycle (or maybe marginally less, e.g. with a 10% bonus if the gun is under-performing compared to other sniper rifles). I would justify this change with the fact that VS and NC have cool empire-specific sniper rifles, while TR does not.
Technically, the Bighorn is no less "special" than the Moonshot or the Parsec. None of them have anything particularly ES about them. If you're looking for empire flavoured sniper rifles, you need to be looking at the TRAP (which apparently isn't too bad after the latest buffs), the Railjack and the Phaseshift. All in all, there's no need to adjust the Bighorn, because then it would only be fair to adjust the Moonshot and the Parsec too.....
I disagree, especially considering that VS has heat-mechanic on their directive weapons without giving TR a comparable unique bonus trait.
Oh look a "special" one. The Bighorn is the Directive reward for Sniper Rifles. The Bighorn is a Auraxium version of the RAMS.50. The RAMS.50 is EXACTLY THE SAME as the Parallax and EM4, they just have another skin. The Bighorn,Parsec and Moonshot HAVE ALSO EXACTLY THE SAME STATS. They just look different. The Parsec/Moonshot HAS NO OTHER MECHANICS. THEY ARE ALL THE SAME.
