Almost trashed this today. Was running a tower survival with underleveled gear and things were going well. Never fell, did a lot of damage, etc. Had an unranked Nyx Prime, did most of my killing with a half-ranked Tipedo because who doesn't love that mighty oar of +1 awesome and wiped out hordes with my synoid gammacor in tight spots. Had a rifle kill bonus so I cleared that early on with my Soma Prime yet I had this niggling feeling that was the only reason I bothered to use it. Even my unranked Nyx Prime outperformed it as far as usefulness was concerned and pay in mind the SP was modded pretty good already, yet damn was it a boring weapon to use...

Well, the tower survival ran for 40 mins. No problem. Was waiting at extraction for two of my allies lagging behind and saw a lone enemy approach me so I fired back with my SP and... it literally caused the game to crash. Lost all my progress. Funnily enough I didn't even slam my keyboard in protest but rather I was more 'huh...' and made me think of how much fun this weapon was. It wasn't. In fact it might be safe to say I may even shelve it once it's maxed. I haven't felt this way about a weapon since I was lvling my lato a long, long time ago....

In other words, don't feel bad if you don't own it. It really is overhyped. Heck, I'll probably go back to using my Burston Prime and would even recommend that rifle over this one, especially if it's a platnium and or availability issue. You'll get far more bang for your buck.
