This bow just needs a buff. It just doesn't perform well enough to be the only impact based bow. Maybe if they release a primed version of it or something, but as it sits, a dread with magnetic just does more damage to shielded units, than this bow designed to take out shielded units. Unmodded charged shot dread does 50 more damage than the cernos, but with a full rank serration that gap icreases to a 75 damage difference. Then you take into account the extra crit damage on Dread, and it's doing a full 225 damage more than the Cernos on every crit (450 compaired to 225). A dread with Magnetic, or even just cold damage is enough to outclass the shield dropping potential of the Cernos, and still have enough left over to shred corpus crewmen because of it's slash damage.
