This gun has all the pros and cons of the regular Simulor. That means a lot of people are going to hate it, and a few people are going to love it dearly. That shouldn't surprise anyone.

That said, both this and the regular Simulor are basically anti-Corpus guns. This means, if you don't have a Mag with Shield Polarize handy, this is probably the next most effective tool for Corpus defense or survival in the game. It may not be spectacular against Grineer or even the Void, but the fact that it's basically the single best anti-Corpus gun in the game right now really should garner a bit more love for this thing than it is getting. (Yes, I know, Amprex, but the Entrophy effect on this thing and the rate at which you can proc it actually puts it either better than, or tied with, the Amprex against Corpus.)

But then, nobody cares about an anti-Corpus gun, no matter how good it may be, when everyone spends 90%+ of their time fighting either Corrupted or Grineer.

For what it's worth, this thing is pretty good against Infested, too. Magnetic doesn't have any weakness against Infested (no strength, but still, no weakness either) and the garanteed Magnetic proc allows you to instantly disable the auras from Infested Ancients even if you don't kill them. So really, this gun is way above average against at least 2 factions.

But again those factions aren't Grineer or Corrupted.

Still glad I bought it, and it's still gonna remain in one of my loadouts for the forseeable future. If nothing else, the Entrophy effect is good for topping off Mag's energy so she can Shield Polarize non-stop.
