There is a single, glaring problem with this weapon.

That problem is that if you're in semi-auto mode and click a fraction of a second too soon, it won't fire and will in fact jam momentarily.

You can either try to muscle-memorize the timing, which will inevitably fail violently if you EVER have even the most insignificant change in frame rate, OR you can use an auto-clicker to bypass the jam and get full fire rate.

Other than that issue, the semi-automatic fire is an excellent middle ground between the SomaP, LatronP/LatronW, and the Sybaris. The Ammo efficiency is a tiny bit lower than an advanced Latron, but the uptime is much, much higher which actually leads to its sustained damage numbers falling in beteen the Latron Prime and Latron Wraith. It also has even less recoil than the Sybaris class (a feat which is barely even possible), so it's an excellent spam-fire semi-auto rifle for even the longest ranges.

Status is solid, the physical damage spread ensures that it will work decently, if not amazingly against all enemies...

The fully automatic firing mode is trash, just get that through your head now. Use it Semi-Auto or use a different gun.

Build this sucker for crit.

Advantages:

Semi auto:

-Very good damage per shot.

-Good damage spread, useful against all enemies.

-Good status chance.

-Good crit stats, build it for crit.

-Excellent ammo efficiency.

-Exceptional magazine capacity/reload time combination for a semi-automatic non burst-fire weapon.

-Excellent sustained damage.

-Exceptional recoil cointrol, virtually no recoil.

-Excellent accuracy.

Auto:

-Easy to use.

Disadvantages:

Semi auto:

-Jams if fired with incorrect timing, severly reducing sustained damage output. Can be worked around with muscle memory or an auto-click mouse/macro.

-Less burst damage than other weapons in its class (such as the advanced Latrons/Sybaris classes), while still very efficient overall.

-Slightly lower ammo efficiency than other weapons in its class (again, advanced Latrons and Sybaris).

Auto:

-Basically everything except recoil/accuracy. Its automatic mode compares unfavorably to nearly all other hitscan rifles beyond the basic bratons.
