I wish they'd make alt fire a fire mode "switch" on guns like these.

Primary fire? Meh. Very accurate and low recoil for a burst weapon, only the (non prime) sybarises do it better.

Secondary fire? It's a latron prime with lower crit, status and damage, but it gets majority slash damage, a vastly larger magazine, faster reload and almost no recoil.

Basically, if you like latron prime/wraith but not being able to use it well at max fire rate (beyond short range) annoys you, and you'd like some slash procs, go for this. 277.5 avg base DPS (after basic crit mods) may look horribad compared to a latron prime or wraith with around 960-1,000, but you'll actually be able to snipe head at max fire rate (even modded) with this, and you'll get tons of slash procs, each of which adds 245% true damage onto its shot.

TL;DR:  This looks like trash paper stats, but when you get to level 100-something grineer, this will still be killing heavies in 1-3 headshots where the latrons will be taking entire clips if you're using rad vs HGs or corrosive vs bombards/napalms.
