A regular Lato has higher DPS than the Flux Rifle, I'm not even kidding. I gave the Flux Rifle too many chances to prove itself but it sucks at both burst and sustained damage, it's main selling point status chance is useless as there are much better armour strip weapons (looking at you, Pox) and the damage is far too low to exploit the corrosive procs or to produce viable slash procs. Even with a good riven, it's just average. At least you have unlimited ammo so you can deal no damage to your enemies for as long as you like.

Even if you look past the bad performance, the Flux Rifle is also boring to play. It looks like a toy gun, no visuals or sound effects to give you the feeling of handling a powerful weapon, and you're limited to 30 metres.

DE needs to either triple the damage or give it god tier crit stats. In it's current state this weapon is useless, although much better than in the past. But still useless. If you're MR6 and need a new primary weapon, build a Soma instead and forma it once instead of building this thing.
