So it only reaches max distance fast(probably almost hitscan) and has best distance than any continious weapon, along with crit stats similar to Soma. Theoretically it doesn't require crit mod(you can't double-crit on a crit, like triple shot multishot, as far as I'm concerned, so modding above 100% is useless), and it simply could favor crit damage mod in place of utility slot for primary(or some elemental mod if you are using mutation). Adding 100% crit mod to make chance 100% isn't so good, because 200% crit damage isn't 300%, won't go that much up. Being sure that every second hit already crits for mod-increased damage is good enough.

Perhaps electrical damage, compared to bullet, will be better against armor, worse against infested, like bullet is worse against armor and fine against infested. Maybe, I hope so, better overall(but I doubt it will reach the potential of poison\serrated).

Then we have a Soma with maybe a bit more precision and... somewhat different kind of damage. Honestly, for this price I wouldn't settle for anything less than Flux with unlimited range, at least same damage and 30%\200% crit stats(favoring crit chance to boost the damage, instead of crit damage). That would make Flux idea overall-viable again, but from a different research tree. This shit, however, is as good for it's price as Embolist is for his. Meaning utterly useless, if you have no sense of humor :)
