dont be mad because you cant aim, scrub 

By definition, "every gun in the game" can't be top tier. Top tier is defined by having the best weapons, and there are weapons that do 3-4 times more damage than their worse counterparts in the game so clearly they're not all nearly equal. While every gun is good enough for ~40 mins of T4S, it takes extreme effort to solo 60 mins with Seer, Sicrap Prime or similar. In such use, you'll easily notice which weapons are actually good and which aren't. Same with high tier Sorties.

It's not a function of aiming, it's simply the fact that this gun has low damage per second (particularly sustained) and only mediocre status chance. It simply doesn't do anything better than or even as well as the competitors even if you headshot every single bullet.

Top tier secondaries like Aksomati, Twin Grakatas, Lex Prime, Vaykor Marelok, Rakta Ballistica, etc. are many times better than this; this is by far the worst Prime gun (yes, significantly worse than the status-viable Burston Prime and the disappointing-but-at-least-average-damage Vasto Prime) and among the worst ~30 secondaries in the game - and so high only because this game has an extraordinary number of terrible secondaries (there's still over 30 better ones too).
