Releasing Ocucor and Gaze at the same time was probably not what DE initially planned. As a plain beam weapon, it was obvious that Gaze would be the least popular of the kitguns, which they wanted to promote (sell) with that big update. Why would they simultaneously release another beam secondary with similar stats, a more refined look, and an unique feature on top? That doesn't make sense.

So, maybe they had to stealthily nerf the Ocucor, without lowering its already mediocre stats (as displayed in the market), or having to rework it. Coincidentally... the crippling multishot "bugs" do exactly that.
