The Ballistica was meant to be used in burst-fire for groups of trash enemies with its 4-arrow spread and decent reload speed while still having the versatility to charge-headshot with 100% accuracy on Heavies.

Which is why Ballistica should have a high status chance during burst fire, and 25% crit / 2.0 modifier or even 15% crit / 2.5 modifier for charged shots. Unfortunately, after things get decently leveled, you're still relegated to charged shots. Not because of ammo effeciency, but because headshots are required, and its more effecient to use two-three charged shots instead of running a whole clip and reloading on a single target.

All that said, it is still one of the most fun and versatile weapons... can strafe groups, run and gun, charge shot heavies or enemies in a line and just generally switch it up to keep things more interesting while still completely viable against enemies <55
