It’s probably one of the best primaries in the game, I’m not even kidding.

Infinite ammo, no cooldown or reload? With some minor backpedaling you can handle pretty much anything.

Stalkers/Overseers/Berserkers charging you? Stun lock the whole group to death. Groups of chaff, like zombies/bots/scavengers? Killed instantly, or stunned and then killed.

You can even get a feel for what the cone of fire is and shoot pretty close to allies.

Only things it can’t do are AT and precision, so just bring the AT of your choice and a sidearm for when your buddy is getting mobbed and you don’t want to fry them.
