Pulse Rifle in PvE

So I happened to acquire a level 20 legendary pulse rifle a couple days ago and I've been using it ever since, while occasionally switching to my level 20 rare auto rifle every so often to test effectiveness. The rare auto rifle absolutely destroys the legendary pulse rifle in DPS. Even when both are upgraded there's just no competition. The pulse rifle bursts are EXTREMELY slow in both time between bursts and time between each individual bullet, but still fast enough for the recoil to cause you to miss nearly every shot after the first. To make matters worse its upgrade causes it to fire an extra bullet if one happens to miss(which in most cases one does) and then that in turn causes you to waste another bullet in the depressingly small clip. Then to add insult to injury, there's almost no significant difference in damage per hit. With how slow the pulse rifle fires and how small the clip is, there's just no way it can ever outclass an auto rifle. Just wondering if anyone else feels that pulse rifles are overall poopy in almost every aspect... Thanks for reading!

  • I got a legendary auto rifle from new monarchy which was pretty good but then I found a legendary pulse rifle which I prefer. All auto rifles need is a slight decrease in range, their damage is fine, I think. I've never understood the 4th bullet going off when you miss, surely if your going to miss with 3, you're going to miss with 4. Has this upgrade actually helped anyone out?
