This thing is surprisingly strong. Once you learn to aim with it it's extremely accurate, just aim straight at weakpoint when close and slightly under when far, The damage is nice and balanced, so it is very versatile.. great as your general use for all gun. But given its damage output it might be even good in high level missions (didn't try yet, foramd and leveling it atm).

I use Heavy Caliber for infested. You might use it for other factions too, but I don't want to sacrifice the accuracy, but against infested it's fine.

Also, I use Shred for firerate and punch through. I think that you don't really need more than 30% increase but that is up to taste I guess. But the puncture works very well with this gun, because of its accuracy you can essentially rip precise holes in enemy groups, it also takes care of the firerate issue since you won't be able to aim at targets faster than you can fire between bursts anyway and for the situations where you have huge mob that you have to take down quickly, well, for those situations you have the punch through.

The proc chance is great, especially with Toxin damage which I use gainst Corpus. This gun has solid DPS already, but combine it with the frequent slash and toxic procs and punch through and you have one hell of a DoT.

I'm not convinced that people using Synapse/Soma etc. will switch to this, but this gun can hold up its own against those guns nicely, especially when modded properly and given some love.

I really like it, and this is coming from someone who usually doesn't like burst rifles.
