I dunno why you would spend platinum on it since it's relatively "easy" to build (was recently made a bit harder though).

However, its DPS is still pretty good, and it has an advantage over snipers in that you can address multiple targets at any range alot better than a sniper rifle could (though we won't talk about the snipetron vandal here since it was an event giveaway).

It has the strongest shot-for-shot damage out of any of the non-sniper rifles and is incredibly precise, so you waste very little of your damage when using this rifle...unless you are just playing sloppy, pretty much every one of your shots should hit, and nailing weak points with this rifle is relatively easy since, as you said, it has the accuracy of its sniper rifle 'cousins'.

So if snipers' reload times and low fire rate aren't your thing, but you hate bullet-hosing and missing shots with other assault rifles, the latron is the PERFECT gun for you.
