With Bronco Prime you spend more time reloading than shooting the damn thing. Riven bait is strong with this one. Giving 2 seconds reload speed to a shotgun with 4 shells per mag(cylinder?) as well as giving it abysmal range and accuracy is retarded. I understand that it might be suffering that way because of it's low rank requirement, but damn, I think devs don't know the difference between in-game DPS and paper DPS. It doesn't matter if a shotgun deals 350 damage if that damage is cut by half and then further lowered by spread. It's only selling point is potential 100% status chance. But it still sucks because of the spread, since it doesn't hit your target with all the status procs unless you're poking  an enemy with your Bronco in it's face(but then you have to reload it and enemy right in front of you, so you get the idea). It has same problems that Tigris had back when it just came out.

With a good riven it's a great weapon to dual-wield with a throwable, or use as a boosting weapon for Sarpa/Redeemer(because it can achieve 5 procs per shot and Condition Overload likes 5 procs), but at that point you already have much better alternatives like Mara Detron for both killing enemies AND melee boosting. It sucks that DE basically force players to forget about it and use AkBroncos or some other secondaries, because of the stupid rank-DPS-system and complete disregard towards range, accuracy and reload stats of the gun.
