the first impression of a brand new soma out of the box is this weapon is not very good. when it gets spooled up its damage output is pretty insane, but say goodbye to your ammo as well. after 20ish enemies you are running dry and forced to use your sidearm. the spool up time also means against weaker enemies you can probably kill singles or small groups quicker with your sidearm as well.

that said, the weapon is obviously designed for a specific critical build. boost that 30% crit rate as high as you can get and then stack the crit damage mods. add elemental damage with whatever slots are left available. it probably gets to be pretty good after its all said and done.

the only thing id really say is if you dump a potatoe, maxxed out mods, and enough forma to hold everything on just about any weapon it turns into a monster. i think this weapon is more than a little over-hyped.
