This weapon is a surprising joy to use, at least at lower levels. I originally went for the Lex for its higher damage and ease of purchase, but even though it's arguably better as a sniper pistol, the low fire rate and slow reload made it about as fun to use as a sniper rifle (for anything other than sniping). Mighta been cooler if the gun sounded like the Blade Runner pistol or something.

The Vasto, on the other hand, shoots fast and accurately, and has a satisfying reload speed and sound. As the merchant from Resident Evil 4 says, "Gun's not just about shootin'. It's about reloadin'." The faster reload speed also makes it much more bearable to use for chronic reloaders.

The fact that it can slash up bodies is another satisfying bonus. Too bad about the four Neurodes though, but at least you can turn it into a Redeemer when you're done. Here's to hoping the Vasto Prime can be viable for a decent amount of time.
